Introducing the new NEEL 51 Trimaran

by Multihull Solutions on 12 May 2017 The NEEL 51 is an evolution in multihull design fusing the finest features of its predecessors, the NEEL 45 and the NEEL 65, to deliver unparalleled performance and comfort. This remarkable blue-water trimaran is ideal for family cruising, with easy handling by minimal crew and excellent bridge deck clearance for optimal comfort and safety. The NEEL 51’s sleek lines and reversed bows create a sharp and sporty silhouette that will turn heads at every port.

The NEEL 51 has exceptionally spacious living areas with magnificent panoramic windows that bathe the interior in natural light. The 10m² Owner’s suite is located on the main deck and boasts uninterrupted views from the bed through its two-metre panoramic windows.

The generous volumes have been strategically designed with expansive sliding doors seamlessly integrating the saloon and cockpit’s living areas, with a beautiful alfresco dining setting to accommodate 12 guests.

Outdoor entertaining is a breeze in the 16m² cockpit, which features a comprehensively equipped galley with grill, sink and refrigerator. The flydeck is a superb haven for relaxation with its sumptuous sun lounges and bench that afford spectacular views. An optional sunshade allows you to enjoy the views and cruising experience in all conditions.

The NEEL 51 boasts centralised handling and ergonomic controls, with a protected helmstation that affords outstanding visibility. The trimaran provides an abundance of technical storage with dedicated space accessed at the rear of the floats plus an equipment storage facility in the central hull. Integrated solar panels ensure eco-friendly operation, and the innovative transom makes boarding from land or the tender extremely safe and easy.
