About
ALL US DUTIES PAID — MERAKI is a 2022 43' NEEL trimaran, custom-built exclusively for the 2022 Miami Boat Show and meticulously maintained by her sole owners. Selected for her renowned combination of speed, safety, and offshore capability, this NEEL 43 has undergone over $120,000 in thoughtful upgrades to support a true off-the-grid, liveaboard cruising lifestyle. Designed for independent, long-range sailing, MERAKI stands out as the only NEEL 43 in existence with a custom-built "sky lounge" seating area on the coachroof, inspired by premium catamaran designs. This unique space is perfect for enjoying sunrise coffees or sunset reflections while anchored in a remote bay.
Unlike many vessels that claim to be "off-grid capable," MERAKI truly delivers. Thanks to an advanced solar energy system, she requires no generator — with house batteries typically fully charged by 1 PM, even while running DC-powered air conditioning through the night. She only consumes fuel for docking and maneuvering, allowing for silent nights at anchor without the need for a diesel generator. Her current owners lived aboard full-time in the Caribbean for over a year, often choosing secluded, crowd-free anchorages, highlighting her autonomy and resilience.
As a performance cruising trimaran, MERAKI is remarkably fast, especially in light wind conditions. She comfortably sails at 6–7 knots in 10 knots of breeze, often achieving speeds within 3 knots of true wind speed, and hitting double digits when conditions allow. Numerous custom storage solutions and layout enhancements make her ideal for full-time liveaboards, minimalist sailors, or weekend adventurers seeking a balance between comfort, performance, and energy independence. With her unique features and extensive upgrades, MERAKI is a rare opportunity in the world of modern bluewater cruising trimarans.

The multihull company, specifically Andrew Hodgson worked with me in the sale of Gods Grace, a 50’ Voyage 500. They made sure that as many people as possible touched it, laid hands on it, ultimately resulting in a offer and sale and was extremely helpful in the prep and sale process as I did not live locally… If you want to make sure that people actually see your vessel, will be honest and truly assist you in the sale, Andrew is the man for the job.
Andrew Hodgdon always goes above and beyond. After several transactions I wouldn’t work with anyone else in the industry.
Andrew at the Multihull Company was our buyer’s broker and he was excellent to work with. He thoroughly explained the purchase process, and helped with many questions along the way. We would definitely use Andrew and Multihull again to buy and sell catamarans and yachts.
We had a great purchasing experience with The Multihull Company. Got us into the boat we really wanted, our broker Josie was amazing, she walked us through the entire process, negotiated the deal we wanted and gave us great advice throughout. If you are looking to purchase a boat we can’t recommend them enough.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
