What this video covers

The crew takes a brand-new 2024 Neil 43, provided by Performance Yacht Sales, on its maiden voyage from Miami to Dinner Key.1:36 Because the vessel is a dealer-owned show boat rather than privately registered, the crew cannot secure a mooring at the marina and opts to anchor instead.12:11 The boat features a single engine and a bow thruster, which the crew uses to maneuver out of the dock.4:33 To reach shore for dinner at Monty’s, the crew paddleboards 0.7 miles each way, transporting two puppies on the boards.17:36 The puppies wear life jackets for the duration of the trip and use a portable turf patch for relief while on board.3:47 The crew manages the anchor using foot pedals and confirms the set by checking sight lines against stationary objects while backing down at 1,400 RPM.13:52
