Intrinsically Safe: The NEEL 48 sets the benchmark in maritime safety, combining advanced design with unmatched resilience. With its three-hull structure, the NEEL 48 is virtually unsinkable—even in the event of significant water ingress. The sandwich composite construction enhances buoyancy, offering peace of mind in any condition. Thanks to its broad beam and centralized weight, the trimaran delivers exceptional initial stability with minimal heel, making capsizing under normal circumstances extremely unlikely. In fact, its capsize angle is 40% higher than that of a catamaran. Added to this is the redundancy of multiple watertight compartments, providing continued operational integrity even if one hull is compromised. And with top-tier performance, the NEEL 48 empowers sailors to navigate away from danger swiftly, proving that performance truly is safety at sea.
NEEL 48: Safety, Performance & Comfort Redefined.
The NEEL 48 sets a new standard in maritime safety and performance. Its three-hull design and sandwich composite construction make it virtually unsinkable, even with water ingress. Superior stability and a 40% higher capsize angle than a catamaran ensure peace of mind. Watertight compartments add redundancy, and its agility allows swift avoidance of danger—proving performance equals safety.
Lighter than monohulls of similar size, with centralized weight and a high sail area-to-weight ratio, the NEEL 48 offers exceptional speed and efficiency. Thin hulls and aerodynamic design minimize drag for smooth offshore cruising. Comfort is unmatched: minimal heeling (2–5°) allows easy movement and restful sleep. At anchor, enjoy luxurious living spaces and private swim access from the Owner’s Suite. The NEEL 48 delivers exhilarating sailing with ultimate safety and comfort.
The NEEL 48 trimaran offers an innovative open-plan interior designed for comfort, functionality, and adventure. Cabins are located on the main deck as well as in the floats provide and open plan living. Unlike the NEEL 47 the floats are now directly accessed via the security of the salon. The owner’s suite also enjoys private sea access, offering a true luxury experience. With space for up to 10 people, the layout includes a dedicated owner’s hull, two double cabins, two singles, and optional forepeak berths. The technical area, like on the NEEL 47, is now accessible via a staircase, and the engine room offers generous storage for gear, scuba tanks, or a compressor. Lightweight materials boost performance, while built-in forced ventilation (VMC) ensures comfort in every cabin.
