I do enjoy your boat tours. I have developed a drinking game to complement my experience watching the channel. Every time you say storage, I take a drink.. I'm HAMMERED!
Having sailed on a friend’s Neel 47, I can confirm how roomy and fun this boat is. We chartered a Neel 45 in the Caribbean and it set the stage for his purchase. The 45 was very hard to tack, but the 47 seems to have solved that issue. The tri is so much better than a cat if you enjoy a spirited sail. It really is the best of a single hull and cat…roomy yet fast. Glad you had a chance to review the boat, now sail it already.
You are 100% bang on when you say, makes a great couple boat, which 85%+ of sailors are. Everything on the NEEL 47 seems purposely designed and built for couples, and the outriggers bring so much safety to the game. As Sinead would say, I always make sure the carpet matches the drapes incase I go into a highspeed spin, well done, well done in deed!
I have to admit that this was one of your more professional walkthroughs. You did well in not looking back to see if Rico was following you on your shot. Trust Rico. You do not need to turn around to see if he’s following with the camera. He is 😀One of your best posts to date.
Thanks for the video. Really interesting look at this fascinating boat. The master cabin on deck super close to the chart table and helm, the very easily accessible technical rooms, better finish and quality than on early samples, standard bow thruster for easy control in marinas, amazing amount of storage, possibility to really single hand from a position that is protected from elements and offers a good view on at least 3 corners, large areas for solar panels, great performance on all points of sail,... this boat really has a lot going for it. It's also great to be able to charter it for trial before committing to a purchase. I am not in the market for such a boat, but if I were I would personally never select on plans or based on a visit in a boat show or even day sail. It takes a week on board to really understand how a boat feels in various conditions, how practical it is, what the issues are,... If I am not mistaken it's also possible to fit 2 additional "skipper" berths in the front part of the hulls? Another aspect you could have spoken about a bit more is the hardware, rigging,...?
This seriously changes my mind on trimarans! I’ve always loved the catamarans, but this is seriously cool. Superb size if you are on your own with occasional guests so much storage that’s for sure. Love it! Thanks to you both for the enlightening tour- great work!
Aluminium hull boats are awesome, my family has a 50 ft monohull from a dutch brand called KM, they specialize in aluminium. It's a great boat, very fast We sail with my family and my dad's friend's family (9 people in total) but there's room for more people
Wow! I have always loved catamarans since sailing the Grenadines on a 51' Fontaine Pajot 20 years ago. This changes my mind to trimaran. So many clever ideas in this roomy boat. Looks like tons of fun. I bet is is fast too.
The amount of storage space in this Trimaran is really re-enforcing the concept of the incredible amount of space that you could get, for more cabins and extra space for multiple different things, as the dimensions increase for bigger trimarans.
This was a really interesting yacht. It was also a great opportunity and expose your vast experience knowledge and unique perspective in the yachting industry. Once again another great tour and as always greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
Video uploaded 4 months ago, 290,522 views, 6.9k likes, and 673 Comments. I have no doubts whatsoever that this yacht review is the best I have seen in relation to a fast, stable, solid bomb proof cruising yacht designed with perfection for the ultimate use, by anyone. It has made my mind up on what to get. Many thanks to all for bringing this review to us.
at 1:30, is there a wider passerelle that leads onto the boat? What if you need to push some heavy items with a cart onto the boat, that walkway is way too narrow
That is the first Trimaran I've seen that I would consider living on. Convert one of the side cabins into an office, save the other for guests. LOTS of deck room, and I adore all that space below decks. Wow! Some cats are almost impossible to get at the engines, you'd need trained monkeys to do a valve job. That hatch looks big enough you could actually just lift the entire engine out! As a tri, it's probably blue water capable, too.
If you like the Neel 47, you'll positively be enamored by the 51. Larger engine room and it's accessible from the saloon inside the main living area. Also, the side cabins have interior access as well plus they're wider. It's in a whole other price range but a used Neel 51 might be a good option to consider.
A Trimaran!!! I love it. I just saw the tumbnail so far, but I love it! Because, for those that don't know, apparently they are far more stable in the water then double hulls, because there is an extra hull in the water, as a foundation of sorts, to stop it capsizing during a storm. Also, the central hull can be built to take the main weight of the vessel, with the side hulls just being supports, and thus not as major a structural challenge as opposed to building two main hulls, with serious structural engineering keeping these two main, far appart sections together. I don't know this for sure. I'm just basing it on "Nick the Naval architects" Trimaran youtube video. But it makes sence.
you'd think they're more stable than a dual hull cat, but I hear they're not. there's too much body roll because the center hull acts like a pivot, instead of a support. to each his own. its a rather "cheap looking" buildout.
Neel does an excellent job on all their trimarans of providing space in the engine room and auxiliary machinery space for ease of maintenance. I do hope you can do a similar review on a Rapido trimaran.
@@BigBadLoneWolf If it''s the same video I'm thinking of, I believe that example wasn't representative of what a buyer will receive when ordering from Neel now. I heard that boat was rushed and manufacturing used to be outsourced in the past, which is no longer the case with current orders.
Really like the available amount of space, and quality of life accouterments that are possible in this type of vessel. Very nice tour, very informative and entertaining.
Just started watching a few months ago and already can tell you both are a hard working couple. Love the way your personality bounce off and complement each other.
If you are sailing a trimaran, you have some advantages over catamaran, due to it's narrow hull width, less wetted area when under sail due to one hull being out of the water for the most part. The main mono-hull is more efficient through the water than a wide cat hull, with 4ft draft and due to it's length helps the sail boat point higher into the wind. ( A very important issue when you want to sail and avoid fuel costs.) The only rough spots were the unfinished in-hull storage and the lack of engine room sound proofing. Video of a Trimaran sailing VS a Catamaran sailing is a night VS day comparison.
Very cool vessel! Another great tour per usual Victoria and Rico. I'm trying to board one of these on the East coast. It's one that was adapted for accessibility so people like me in wheelchairs can ride too! I'm trying to work out a 2-day trip with them. They said I can come for free, I just have to figure out how to get to them. I'd love to see one in person, get my hands on it, open a few cabinets 😜. Take care you two .
Please do! We would love to hear all about it via IG if you get to go. If it's something good, please let us know and we will try to make a trip and film it for the channel
@@NautiStyles Most definitely. I thought of you 2 when they first invited me. It likely wont be until the spring time now. It's getting cold and I have a couple of surgeries to get through this winter. I'll keep you posted.
@@theresaularich2449 I just got a like on my original comment, got a notification, came back here and saw your comment... I hooked Victoria up with these people and they did a tour of their accessible vessel not too long ago. If you haven't seen it yet search NautiStyles for The Impossible Dream Catamaran. Those people are doing amazing things!
Awesome new episode! Love the Neel's! Looking at them for possible solution for our sailing needs. thanks for this episode seen 51 but have not seen a 47 yet..
Did you tour the Neel 43 next to it, or the 51? We are not sure which to get, we are a couple who would have occassional guests only, and start either in the Caribean or Med before sailing rtw.
Ten thumbs up! As always! Thank you guys for at least teasing me with my dreams. Well done. My fav channel on RUclips. And I watch a lot of different channels lol!
Also, because you have so much space on the one deck, it makes it far more practical a design for elderly guests, and guests with other movement difficulties, like wheelchairs, and toddler's. How hard is it for parents of young children on a boat, because of the dangers of the stairs in dry land, let alone open seas?
Having owned 3 tris and 2 cats, I can say that the performance range of cruising tris and cruising cats overlaps, I.e. this tri would not outperform all 47’ cruising cats under sail. Under power I would take the redundancy and handling of twin diesels over a diesel and a bow thruster. Having said that I like this boat and have been aboard several… though not sailed one. My biggest concern would be resale value as the cruising tri market is tiny.
@@KingMinosxxvi Real estate will always increase in value. Boats and cars are a depreciating asset. You know that going in. You dont buy a $120K Porsche and go "My biggest concern is its resale value". You KNOW you're going to take it on the chin when you sell it.
What did you two think of the build quality of the Neel? Several years ago there were several video's showing terrible built quality of these tri's . I hope they have picked up their game and are now really good sailing boats.
We have toured many boats and I have captained a bunch of Catamaran brands over the years, this specific one here is a charter version which still felt more solid than some other popular catamaran manufacturers. I think this could be a nice yacht in the upgraded owners package. Considering a major catamaran builder doesn’t even bilgecoat their bilges I think this one is pretty good and could be fantastic for a couple. Thanks for watching.
Great question @ Stephen Murray, as Rico mentioned we didn't find the quality of this build to be worse then most of the major Cat builder we have toured and sailed many ourselves on charters and deliveries, on the contrary actually. We can't speak for 3 years ago or another channels opinions... too many people claiming to be experts nowadays, we do not 🤦🏼♀️🤷♀️
Going back more years than I like to remember, my best friends dad guilt q fiberglass in his garden,his mum was a teacher the year I went to middle school 1978/9 they set off around the world, it was built with double cabins in the two outer hulls, I guess it's all down to designer. Love your videos. Thank you David 🇬🇧
I think this is the best boat tour video I have seen! You both do a great job. Neel needs to put this on their website. Your video gives a much more informative look at this vessel, and a better job selling it, than does their website. Again, great job and thanks!
That's a great walkthrough! Thank you. Now I only wish you'd also covered 51 and 65 as they don't have such thorough and entertaining reviews as you do! Great job, love your reviews more then anyone's else.
I was sold when you showed the master bedroom , helm and galley. Before seeing this boat I would have dreamed of an Outremer 50'-60'. The sailing around the world YT channels could even turn the master into a film studio. If you didn't mind sleeping in a double in one of the hulls that master could be turned into a huge workshop. They even put seating in the engine room for when you work on the motor. If you were a traveling surgeon you could turn the master into an operating room. The only negative I could see is a bit more rocking side to side than on a catamaran.
Excellent video! I had hoped that the Neel website would have a better video of the layout but unfortunately it doesn’t. Thank you for doing this video, you’ve shed a lot of light on just how well the trimaran is laid out. Looking forward to seeing it for myself!
The engine compartment is under cover, but it looks like the guest cabins are exposed? So in foul weather, get wet every time you come and go from your cabin? Maybe I just didn’t have a good viewing perspective.
I never was much for a sailing vessel, however, growing up in Central Florida as a teenager in the 70s we had a sunfish to use on the lake and the neighbors had a 16-ft Hobie cat that we used to sail on. But our 18 ft ski boat got the most use since we were near Cypress Gardens. I would seriously consider one time going out on a charter sail yacht but it would have to be in the range of 80 ft and above. Excellent presentation as always.
Nice boat!! Not sure witch one I like better the trimaran or the catamaran, do they have a safe light, so you can see if the stairs are not folded to the side at night 😉 long way down, aspecially if the lid is up
Thanks again for the new episode. Trimarans are something I'm curious about so this was awesome so getting a tour of one was nice. BTW, did you hurt your knee?
If we were interested in a sailing boat Neel would be near the top of the list especially for a multi-hull. Another nice one (at the lower end) is Corsair, how about a _trailerable_ trimaran!
I love your out takes every week! 🤣🤣🤣. So good! Another great tour, well done. I like the design principles they have used in this...but it's not for me. If I was sailing the world on my own, yes, but since it have family (big family) I need much more space! Well done Neel however. 🤙✌️🤚🖖
Somehow I missed this great presentation. What is the maneuverability like in a marina area compared to a catamaran? How do these perform for docking in reverse with single engine? I presume there is no bow thruster?
The last review I saw of a Neel trimaran the tails of the zip ties in working spaces hadn't even been cut off, and on a brand new boat there were bits falling off along with huge amounts of filler where panels didn't fit right. Neel have an absolutely shocking reputation for poor quality both in the structure and finish. I respect that you don't talk negatively about the boats you tour but it would be really interesting to know if they've upped their game in the age of RUclips. Great tour though. You really do need to think of Trimarans as a monohull with outriggers rather than a cat with an extra hull.
I don’t agree with that, we have toured many boats and I have captained a bunch of Catamaran brands over the years, this specific one here is a charter version which still felt more solid than some other popular catamaran manufacturers. I think this could be a nice yacht in the upgraded owners package. Considering a major catamaran builder doesn’t even bilgecoat their bilges I think this one is pretty good. Thanks for watching.
@@mikefowler301 I've been around for a hell of a lot longer than you tube, but yeah - fair point. I guess I was meaning since you tubers have been doing reviews and the power that social media can have over a brand.
Totally HG, I've seen videos of brand new boats only 2019/2020 where the cockpit doors didn't close and panelling falling off. Quality of Neel is a major major issue still on the sailors network.
@hg I can't speak for what it was like 3 years ago or another channel's opinions, but in this case, we didn't find the quality of this build (construction or interior... which are two very different things btw) to be any worse then other major cat builders, on the contrary actually it was well done.
I do enjoy your boat tours. I have developed a drinking game to complement my experience watching the channel. Every time you say storage, I take a drink.. I'm HAMMERED!

Sailing La Vagabonde has done some videos on the advantages of trimarans vs catamarans. They’re building a Rapido 60+ to replace their Outremer cat.
@@aggiewoodie Is the Rapido that much faster than an Outremer?
A couple of words makes a huge difference
I love the layout of this boat. Especially the front interior main section.
Dont you think a toilet just under the kitchen table top with a window is a quite strange solution?
Great review. Please also consider reviewing the aluminum exploration catamaran Explocat 52.

Great walkthrough. Thanks for going the extra mile to explore everything on the boat
You've got to do a tour of the new '22 Neel 51 Trimaran. Similar, but different in some good ways.
So much to love about this tri, but reviewing it under weather and open seas would tell the real story. Loved the use of spaces!
I like the private entrances to the guest cabins.
great to hear
at 1:30, is there a wider passerelle that leads onto the boat? What if you need to push some heavy items with a cart onto the boat, that walkway is way too narrow
The way I see it, the guests are lucky to be there in the first place ; )

Now I only wish you'd also covered 51 and 65 as they don't have such thorough and entertaining reviews as you do! Great job, love your reviews more then anyone's else.
Yana, thank you so much!
Great tour guys - pretty amazing boat.
Thanks so much!
It is always a pleasure to hear from you. So many features in this boat. I would like to know what is the best trimaran to compare the Neel 47 with.
Niiiiiice for guys 👍🏻 When you get a chance,do one on the NEEL 51. A leap above the 47. ✌🏻️
GREAT tour of an amazing ship! So nice!! thanks!
My first tour of a trimaran. Good!
yeay!
I was sold when you showed the master bedroom , helm and galley. Before seeing this boat I would have dreamed of an Outremer 50'-60'. The sailing around the world YT channels could even turn the master into a film studio. If you didn't mind sleeping in a double in one of the hulls that master could be turned into a huge workshop. They even put seating in the engine room for when you work on the motor. If you were a traveling surgeon you could turn the master into an operating room. The only negative I could see is a bit more rocking side to side than on a catamaran.
I have no more asking in this kind of the trimaran. Its a very very nice boat i seing.
Love your boat tours. Thanks.
Something tells me you could definitely sail Around the World in this trimaran.
Really excellent, as always. Thank you.
Another very interesting boat. Thanks.
You are so welcome 🙏🏻
A fantasy beyond money
Great 👍🏽 tour and presentation. Thanks 🙏🏾
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool litttle well thought out Trimaran
Thanks for watching
YESSSS! @Nautistyles Thank you for listening to my suggestion on the trimaran! 🥰🥰🥰
you are very welcome, we are always listening to you guys
Another great tour per usual Victoria and Rico!
Thank you kindly Rolf
Excellent video! I had hoped that the Neel website would have a better video of the layout but unfortunately it doesn’t. Thank you for doing this video, you’ve shed a lot of light on just how well the trimaran is laid out. Looking forward to seeing it for myself!
So glad to hear that it was helpful! Thanks Brad
Thank you for digging deep into the bowels of the vessel, I like to open up all those little cubby holes for access to all areas
I don’t know why I wasn’t subscribed, but I am now. Love your energy and some of the best boat reviews on the internet. Thanks
Welcome aboard Officially! Don't for get to click the notification bell 🔔 to never miss a new video
Really love this for Single hand or couple crusing... 🤗🤗🤗
As always, I love the video, excellent
The engine compartment is under cover, but it looks like the guest cabins are exposed? So in foul weather, get wet every time you come and go from your cabin? Maybe I just didn’t have a good viewing perspective.
I never was much for a sailing vessel, however, growing up in Central Florida as a teenager in the 70s we had a sunfish to use on the lake and the neighbors had a 16-ft Hobie cat that we used to sail on. But our 18 ft ski boat got the most use since we were near Cypress Gardens. I would seriously consider one time going out on a charter sail yacht but it would have to be in the range of 80 ft and above. Excellent presentation as always.
Nice boat!! Not sure witch one I like better the trimaran or the catamaran, do they have a safe light, so you can see if the stairs are not folded to the side at night 😉 long way down, aspecially if the lid is up
LOL I just visualized that... oh boy!
I really enjoy your channel. A lot of other channels have yet to keep me interested. So keep making great videos guys!!
Thanks again for the new episode. Trimarans are something I'm curious about so this was awesome so getting a tour of one was nice. BTW, did you hurt your knee?
Thanks for watching, yes fell on the concrete dock the day before 🙈😝
Great video. Very interesting boat. If it were power instead of sail I might consider it.
Fair enough!
Great presentation as always!
Question do they make hybrid engines for boats like this ? I would like an electric engine but would like diesel as a back up.
If we were interested in a sailing boat Neel would be near the top of the list especially for a multi-hull. Another nice one (at the lower end) is Corsair, how about a _trailerable_ trimaran!
I love your out takes every week! 🤣🤣🤣. So good! Another great tour, well done. I like the design principles they have used in this...but it's not for me. If I was sailing the world on my own, yes, but since it have family (big family) I need much more space! Well done Neel however.
🤙✌️🤚🖖
Thanks so much! 😊
Excellent showing. Very well done 👍 🐻🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you so much!
Somehow I missed this great presentation. What is the maneuverability like in a marina area compared to a catamaran? How do these perform for docking in reverse with single engine? I presume there is no bow thruster?
My God. This one seems the perfect sail boat for the family with 2 teen age children for long term trip
A very nice review, Thanks!
Our pleasure!
Very nice tour guys. Even tho these are not my fav. yachts, I love you guys.
Fair enough!
The last review I saw of a Neel trimaran the tails of the zip ties in working spaces hadn't even been cut off, and on a brand new boat there were bits falling off along with huge amounts of filler where panels didn't fit right. Neel have an absolutely shocking reputation for poor quality both in the structure and finish. I respect that you don't talk negatively about the boats you tour but it would be really interesting to know if they've upped their game in the age of RUclips.
Great tour though. You really do need to think of Trimarans as a monohull with outriggers rather than a cat with an extra hull.
I don’t agree with that, we have toured many boats and I have captained a bunch of Catamaran brands over the years, this specific one here is a charter version which still felt more solid than some other popular catamaran manufacturers.
I think this could be a nice yacht in the upgraded owners package.
Considering a major catamaran builder doesn’t even bilgecoat their bilges I think this one is pretty good.
Thanks for watching.
Age of you tube? where ya been for the last 15 years.
@@mikefowler301 I've been around for a hell of a lot longer than you tube, but yeah - fair point. I guess I was meaning since you tubers have been doing reviews and the power that social media can have over a brand.
Totally HG, I've seen videos of brand new boats only 2019/2020 where the cockpit doors didn't close and panelling falling off. Quality of Neel is a major major issue still on the sailors network.
@hg I can't speak for what it was like 3 years ago or another channel's opinions, but in this case, we didn't find the quality of this build (construction or interior... which are two very different things btw) to be any worse then other major cat builders, on the contrary actually it was well done.
Hi Victoria &Rico, that is definitely a final thrilling sailing with a three -catamaran.⚓⛵🌊👍😘
Thank you so much for watching Kay-uwe
Great vid!!!!
