NEEL Trimarans is set to unveil two revolutionary new models in an exclusive world premiere at the 2019 La Grande Motte Boat Show in April.
The innovative shipyard will launch the highly anticipated new NEEL 65 Evolution and NEEL 47 trimarans at the tenth anniversary of the French show from 24 - 28 April. The award-winning NEEL 51 will also be on display at the event.
Filling the gap between the shipyard's acclaimed NEEL 45 and NEEL 51, the new NEEL 47 trimaran has optimised ergonomics and a reconceptualised interior layout to enhance onboard liveability and offshore performance.
Designed by Marc Lombard, the NEEL 47 features an exciting new sporty design while retaining the impressive features of its predecessors: safety, easy centralised manoeuvring, steering finesse, central weight distribution and incomparable performance in all conditions.
The new NEEL 47 includes the renowned Cockloon® (seamless saloon/cockpit integration), a unique design concept that has significantly contributed to the success of the NEEL 51. The trimaran has also introduced new innovations, including the Full Beam Cockpit®, which affords numerous seating possibilities and a breathtaking 360 view, plus the Antireflex Window® that delivers a dynamic and contemporary aesthetic.
As the jewel in the crown of the shipyard's range, the new NEEL 65 Evolution epitomises the new generation of trimarans. The huge Cockloon® provides entertaining capacity for 14 guests in a seated dining configuration, a second lounge in front of the saloon featuring a sofa with panoramic sea views and convertible saloon layout options.
The NEEL 65 Evolution has been designed with a spacious and ingenious kitchen facing the sea and seamlessly integrated into the living area, with exceptionally generous bench space and an abundance of storage.
The trimaran has a decadent master cabin on the main deck, new access to the central hull, and even greater quality of fixtures and finishes.
The two new trimarans have been launched on the heels of the NEEL 51 being awarded "2018 European Sail Boat of the Year" and consolidate the shipyard's reputation as one of the world's most progressive and creative multihull builders.
