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.

Slip the lines at Chelsea Piers and watch Manhattan unfold in cinematic fashion. To starboard, the glassy spire of One World Trade rises behind the High Line while the Empire State’s Art‑Deco crown peeks above Midtown. Heading south, the river widens and Lady Liberty appears in full copper glory beside Ellis Island—prime time for that signature selfie. A gentle swing east delivers postcard angles of Governors Island and the soaring arches of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. As we glide back upriver, sunset ignites the Hudson Yards skyline and the George Washington Bridge glows upstream, framing a perfect golden‑hour return. Every nautical mile offers a front‑row seat to New York City’s most legendary landmarks—no crowds, just uninterrupted views from your private trimaran.

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.
