About
Neel 45 - 2015
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.

Dear Cynthia and Andrew,
I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to both of you and The Multihull Company team for the outstanding job you did in successfully closing the sale of our Excess 14. Despite the challenging environment — including new import tariffs and unique buyer requirements — you navigated everything with professionalism, perseverance, and efficiency.
The transaction was completed smoothly and in good time, which is a true credit to your dedication and expertise. Very well done.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the very best.
Warm regards,
Jurgen
We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon. From the very beginning, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the catamaran we were considering and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. He found us the perfect vessel that matched our needs and budget and negotiated a fantastic deal on our behalf.
What truly set him apart was he responsiveness—every question we had was answered promptly and thoroughly, and he guided us through the entire process with professionalism and care. We couldn’t be happier with the service and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated yacht broker.
Awesome company that worked as my brokerage on purchasing out FP catamaran. A special shoutout to Will Miller for walking us through the process
The process of selling our boat was made very smooth by the Multihull Company and Andrew Hodgdon in particular. Andrew helped us navigate the selling process including moving our boat from Grenada to Florida to execute the sale. We would recommend working with this company, and Andrew Hodgdon in particular, without hesitation.
Very smooth process. Chuck was great and very knowledgeable about the whole process. Im happy to have had TMC to take care of all the things i didnt know about.
