2023 Neel 47 ''Cogito — Marina del Rey

A 2023 NEEL 47 lying at Marina del Rey, asking $749,000 through Naos Yachts; the hull carries the name Cogito. The 47 is the design that made NEEL's argument stick — drawn by Marc Lombard's office to fill the gap between the yard's 43 and 51, in build at La Rochelle since 2019, and named Europe's multihull of the year in 2020. Eric Bruneel's signature is all present: one living level running from cockpit through saloon — the yard's Cockloon — with the accommodation gathered in the central hull and 27 feet of beam standing on the amas. The pitch is a catamaran's living level with a trimaran's manners under sail.

Two notes, plainly. We have not surveyed her, so nothing here is a condition claim. And the ask sits at the top of this model's market as we hold it: our one sister ship, a 2021 at La Rochelle, asks $550,800 — $198,200 under this boat. Part of that buys the two newer years; part buys the berth, since every other NEEL on our shelf lies in Europe, Tunisia or the Caribbean, and this one is already in the Pacific. She belongs with the bluewater trimarans; the NEEL 47 page holds the model's whole market.

That sister is also the lever in any negotiation — the 2021 NEEL 47 at La Rochelle, 215 days on the market and carried by two brokers:

If the budget bends up rather than down, the yard's next size is on our shelf too — a 2022 NEEL 51 at Monastir, asking $949,000:

And where the two-hull instinct leads, a 2022 Lagoon 42 lies in this very marina at $549,000:

But if the boat must be a big cruising trimaran already on this coast, nothing else on our shelf answers — this is the one to survey first:
