Picture yourself stretched out on Big Bird’s wide cockpit lounge or the forward trampoline nets, cocktail in hand as sunlight sparkles across breathtaking, panoramic views of turquoise waters stretching as far as the eye can see. When you’re ready to cool off, slip down the swim ladder for a salt‑water plunge or hop in the tender to explore a hidden cove. With 360‑degree ocean vistas, airy French styling, and the gentle glide of a trimaran under sail, the NEEL 47 turns every coastal mile into a private sanctuary where unforgettable memories are made—and cherished—long after you’ve stepped ashore.

Fire Island isn’t just a beach—it’s a beacon. For decades, this iconic barrier island off Long Island’s southern coast has been a sanctuary for LGBTQ+ joy, expression, and liberation. The neighboring communities of Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines have served as safe havens for queer culture dating back to the 1940s, and today they remain legendary destinations for celebration, connection, and unapologetic fun.

At the heart of it all is the Invasion of the Pines, a wildly glamorous Fourth of July tradition born in 1976, when a group of drag queens from Cherry Grove “invaded” the more buttoned-up Pines after one of their own was denied service. What began as a protest has evolved into an epic annual flotilla of glitter, wigs, and fabulous pride, parading by boat from Grove to Pines to cheering crowds.

On our luxury charter, you’ll have front-row access to this unforgettable spectacle—anchored in the middle of the action. Expect dazzling costumes, music echoing across the bay, and an electric energy unlike any other Independence Day celebration.

As we cruise, you’ll also catch sight of Fire Island’s classic landmarks: the historic Fire Island Lighthouse, the Grove’s quaint boardwalks, and the Pines’ iconic harbor dotted with party yachts. Whether you’re sunbathing on deck, dancing to beats under the stars, or raising a glass beneath the fireworks, this is Fourth of July at its most legendary.

Availability is ultra‑limited for this exclusive holiday charter.

Reserve your July 4th escape now and experience Fire Island like never before—on your own private trimaran with VIP everything.

Designed around NEEL’s signature “cockloon” concept, the 47 seamlessly merges a panoramic saloon with a flush aft‑cockpit, giving you one expansive social hub sheltered from sun and spray. Slide the glass doors open and move effortlessly from plush interior lounges to the teak‑soled cockpit dining area without a single step or threshold in your way.

Forward, twin trampoline nets invite sunbathing just inches above the water, while the coach‑roof sun pad provides a private perch for sunset cocktails. Every space—inside the bright central nacelle or out on the wide decks—is engineered for stability, 360° ocean views, and that unmistakable feeling of sailing in your own floating loft.

Step aboard and indulge in luxury at sea. With an array of unparalleled amenities, your every desire is catered to. From spacious staterooms and a fully equipped galley to sun-soaked lounging areas and panoramic views, every detail on board is designed with your comfort in mind. Enjoy complimentary drinks, curated gourmet catering, a premium Bose sound system, water toys, and seamless access to shore via tender. Whether you're unwinding or celebrating, your experience is elevated from the moment you step on deck.
