The boat has undergone an extensive refit between 2022 and 2025, including notably replacing the original engine with a new Yanmar 110 HP (2023), a heavy-duty reversible air conditioning system of 60,000 BTU, a new rudder, a new propeller shaft, a new windlass, as well as a revised bow thruster. Energy autonomy has also been enhanced with 8 Solbian solar panels (896 W, installed in December 2024) and Mastervolt lithium batteries.
The interior layout is particularly refined, featuring Wengé wood finishes (tables, door thresholds, furniture protections), a fully equipped galley suitable for charter or long voyages (dishwasher, large stainless steel refrigerator, freezer, washer/dryer), and a bright, convivial living space. The electric toilets in the guest cabins and numerous storage spaces enhance onboard comfort.
For navigation, this NEEL 51 is equipped with a full B&G electronic system (ZEUS 3 12”, 4G radar, AIS, autopilot, Triton 2 repeaters), a high-performance rig with a full battens mainsail, roller genoa, and staysail, as well as electric Antal winches making maneuvers easier. The flybridge helm station offers excellent visibility and optimal comfort both underway and at anchor.
Designed for autonomy and safety, the yacht features an Onan 11 kVA generator, a Dessalator 100 L/h desalination unit, a Webasto heating system, a maritime Starlink system, and comprehensive safety equipment. The Highfield dinghy with a recent Mercury engine, paddles, and snorkeling gear complete the package.
This NEEL 51 ready to sail, carefully maintained and equipped with recent gear, will be available in October 2025. Possibility of French leasing transfer with VAT and charter management with crew, making it an ideal opportunity for long-distance cruising, luxury charter, or comfortable family sailing.
