Rare on the Market in the South Pacific -- An Exceptional Opportunity for Offshore Cruising Enthusiasts
Peikea is a stunning Neel 45 trimaran designed by renowned architects Joubert & Nivelt at the very beginning of the Neel adventure. Built in 2015 in La Rochelle by the French shipyard Naval Force 3, she is hull number 12 in the series. Constructed with top-quality materials, she remains in outstanding condition to this day. Her contemporary design and clever layout offer remarkable comfort for life on board.
She has sailed extensively in the Atlantic and the Pacific before being listed for sale in New Zealand in 2020. The current owners acquired her in September 2021 in French Polynesia for a long-term cruising project. Since then, they have lived aboard full-time and sailed over 15,000 nautical miles in the South Pacific, maintaining the boat meticulously and investing heavily in upgrades. As a result, she is now in excellent overall condition, with a brand-new mainsail and standing rigging replaced in July 2025.
Ready to Sail Anywhere
Fully equipped for bluewater cruising:
o 1,260 W solar panels
o Lithium battery
o Watermaker (70 L/h)
o Coppercoat antifouling (2024-2025), eliminating the need for haul-outs for several years
Performer Under Sail
The Neel 45 is highly regarded for her solid construction and excellent sailing performance. Light and responsive, she sails well even in light winds and can cover 200 nautical miles per day with ease. Over the past four years, she has logged only 255 engine hours for more than 15,000 NM under sail.
Comfortable Living Spaces
Designed for single-level living, this trimaran is ideal for long-term cruising:
o 3 double cabins, two with panoramic views of the sea and stars
o Galley with double sink, integrated trash bin, 3-burner gas stove, 144 L drawer-style fridge, 53 L freezer, and generous storage
o Spacious saloon with a triangular table seating 6
o Well-equipped navigation station, allowing for inside steering and routing
o Cockpit layout includes 2 benches, 2 fixed tables, new high-quality upholstery, and a bimini with side panels for full weather protection
The outer hulls offer extensive storage:
o Port hull: general equipment storage
o Starboard hull: sail locker and spare parts storage
Navigation & Deck Equipment
