30 YEARS OF BUILDING DREAMS
Since 1995, Aquador has been producing iconic boat models for a wide range of enthusiasts. From sporty day cruisers to versatile weekenders, the team behind the Aquador brand has been committed to delivering unforgettable moments on the water. Well over 4,000 boats has been built over the years and the legacy continues with the latest generation of models.
Advertising entrepreneur Sakari Mattila is the father of Aquador and Sakari presented some early sketches on Aquador 22 to Raimo Sonninen, Bella Boats OY founder and owner, already early in the 90’s. Raimo saw something interesting, but it was not good enough, so he contacted Rolf Eliasson. Rolf has been the designer/constructor for Nimbus many years but during 1992/1993 there was not much happening in the boat business due to the recession. Sakari and Raimo managed to convince Rolf to make the drawing for the first Aquador. The molds were made in Henån, Sweden and the first boats were built in Åbo, Finland. The first prototype was not up to standards but after some time they managed to get her right.
30 years ago, in 1995, the first model was presented to the market. Aquador 22. The model eventually became a success and during the first two years 110 boats were built.
Shortly after, another model was developed, Aquador 26. Aquador 26 was exposed to the market 1997 and the sim-
ilarities with Nimbus was huge. Nimbus even filed charges against Aquador for trademark infringements. The model 26C was soon changed to 26HT and has since then been a classic model later replaced by 27HT and 28HT. Aquador 26DC was also developed and produced in Finland.
In the 1998, production was moved to Ireland, taking the then unused Sea Ray factory in county Cork. During the time in Ireland another four new models were developed, Aquador 21 WA, 25 WA, 25 C and 32 C. Now the assortment was seven models. Ultimately, the move to Ireland was not a long-term solution, and the quality was not up to Scandinavian standard. In June 2000 Aquador was sold to Bella Boats OY owner, Raimo Sonninen and immediately the production was moved back to Finland again.
In the period 2002 to 2008 Aquador had a fantastic growth, and new models were continuously launched. Aquador was established as a premium brand in the market and in 2007 Aquador was recognized as the fastest

growing shipyard in Scandinavia with 550 boats sold during the year. The Lehman crash temporarily slowed down the Aquador success story.
2009 Aquador receives another important recognition by winning the prestigious award “The Best Sport Cruiser of the Year” at the London International Boat with the model Aquador 28HT.
2010 the launch of Aquador 22C takes place and this gets a fantastic welcome on the market. It was called Mickey Mouse Caravan (“Musses husvagn”) since it was a compact yet versatile and very popular.
2013 / 2014 the popular ST models were launched. Designer Jarkko Jämsen was designing Aquador 35ST and 30ST.
After almost 20 years in Bella Veneet OY ownership Nimbus Group acquired Bella Veneet OY in 2018. Aquador has belonged to the Nimbus Group family of boat brands and has since undergone a complete overhaul, making the brand more appealing to the international market. A sign of this progress was marked by the recent launch of Aquador in North America 2022.
Aquador, from its first days of operation, has chosen a segment of small premium vessels and is committed to fully

satisfy its customers’ needs rather than taking as much of the «general cake as possible. The boats are made in a laconic Nordic style - each element of the exterior and interior is in its place.
The Walkaround series includes small outboard and stationary boats. The boats received a spacious forward cabin, while the Aquador 25 WA model had even a small galley.
More spacious models Daycruisers consist of cabin cruise boats. Here there is everything necessary for comfortable rest on water - and a spacious cockpit, and the big bathing platform, a kitchen corner and a toilet.
Hardtop’s semi-custom yachts are rich in interior spaces and are suitable for longer trips. The series Sport-Top has a sporty appearance with large roof hatches that allow to turn the boat into an open cruiser.
Cabin series models - boats and yachts with hardtop and closed salon in length from 6,5 to 11 m.
With over 4000 boats built since the beginning, the legacy continues with the latest generation that includes the 250HT, 300HT, and in January 2025, the largest boat we’ve ever built, the 400HT. More to come in the next 30 years of Aquador history.

A GENUINE YACHTING EXPERIENCE
The brand new Aquador 300 HT is a ground-breaking model in the boating industry. No other boat in, or even near its class offers the same features, options, and experience as the 300 HT. Would you like your luxury 30 ft ‘yacht’ to be stern driven or do you prefer outboard engines? The choice is yours!
Either way you choose, your 300 HT will perform with remarkable efficiency due to the all-new ‘AquaDynamic’ hull that requires far less energy to reach cruising speed and beyond. The new hull along with modern technology at the helm allows you to manoeuvre and control the boat far more effortlessly, enhancing the enjoyment of the ride and making docking and steering in tighter spots much easier.
The level of space and features on the 300 HT are usually only reserved for much larger boats. The cockpit, dining and pantry area, helm, and passenger area are all spacious, intelligently designed, and practical. An optional seating area and grill can be placed on the expansive swim platform, which adds to that feeling of being on a small yacht. Generous cabinets and storage options in the cockpit means that you are never short on space for storing essentials and equipment.
When it’s time to relax and take in some sun, the dining area transforms into a large sunbathing platform and the stylish hard top design provides plentiful shade when needed.
You can always find the perfect temperature on board. In chillier climates, the standard heater makes sure you’re warm and cosy. When the weather warms up, the optional AC unit keeps you cool and fresh. The AC unit can be run using an inverter or shore power.
Moving forward to the bow of the boat using either of the passageways along both sides of the cockpit area, you find a modern foredeck with a spacious sunbathing area equipped with adjustable sunbeds. At the bow, a fully integrated anchor winch system is made possible due to the generous space found in the forward locker that is designed to house the anchor winch, chain and rope, two fenders, and ladders. There is also an option to have the fully integrated anchor winch system at the stern.
360-degree surround lighting means you can dock and manoeuvre with confidence in darker conditions and unfamiliar marinas. The smart lighting design vastly reduces reflection back into the cockpit, allowing an uninterrupted view of your surroundings.
Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee without leaving the cabin. Get your day started the right way with a fresh espresso, this usually does the trick.
Heading down below and the lush 300 HT interior really comes into its own. The master cabin is expertly designed so that two adults and a child can sleep soundly. How was this achieved? Well, all three can fit comfortably on the luxurious bed, but the bench below extends underneath so that a sleeping berth for a child is created. More room for everyone!
The contemporary day head on the 300 HT is beautifully appointed and well equipped. Access to the separate mid cabin is behind the next door where space for two is found, independent from the main berth providing privacy and tranquillity.
Home comforts are sometimes hard to leave behind. The television option for the main cabin means you don’t have to miss the big game or your favourite shows.
In each space down below, the natural light that flows into each compartment reminds you that the windows designed for the 300 HT not only contribute to the striking looks of this boat from the outside, but they serve a very important purpose in creating a bright and airy atmosphere inside.
Sitting at the helm, you can opt for three Glass-Bridge 12’’ inch monitors where you will find all the information you need about the status of your boat. You can precisely navigate to your next destination, get readings on all the boat’s critical functions, control the entertainment system, and get the most out of your trip all by the touch of a screen at the control centre of your boat. The modern display and controls are at the forefront of navigational and informational maritime technology, where you will enjoy spending time in control of your boat.
All of these design developments, ingenuity, and versatility will lead you to experience the feeling of genuine yachting - but with the practicality and ease-of-life of a contemporary 30 ft cruiser. It may be easy to forget that you don’t have to reserve a mooring spot amongst the super yachts at your next port of call.
The 300 HT comes equipped with a 12’’ Simrad NSX chart plotter, but as an option, the dash display can be truly brought to life with two additional 12’’ screens. Not only aesthetically pleasing, the functionality and control of your boat is suddenly on another level.
The cockpit can be transformed into an additional sleeping area if you are hosting additional guests. The wrap around canopy and the HardTop combine to provide a cabin-like atmosphere.



The Aquador 300 HT is a refined cruiser designed for those who appreciate comfort, a little luxury, space, and enjoyment for yourself and for those closest to you. Scandinavian heritage and a long history of Finnish boat building expertise enables us to deliver on the promise to provide functionality and ingenuity combined with beautiful, modern design. With a healthy respect for the power of nature, safety for those onboard and for those sharing the water is paramount throughout development and production of the 300 HT. This brings a sense of confidence and trust that you and your loved ones can enjoy while using your boat for the purposes that you require. Whether that be a day out cruising, a weekend trip with the whole family, or an extended adventure discovering new coasts and new horizons, the 300 HT provides all the benefits and qualities of a much larger yacht, but with the practicality, usefulness, and charm of a family cruiser.
Aquador’s Aquadynamic hull allows planing at lower speeds and much less power is required to reach cruising speed, leading to greater fuel economy especially on longer passages. More stability is achieved in turning and the sharp attack angle at the bow means a softer ride.
