The Excess range continues to make waves globally, with over 600 boats delivered worldwide and rapid growth cementing its position as one of the most exciting names in modern multihull sailing. In just five years, Excess has become the world's fifth-largest catamaran builder--well on track to reach top three status by 2027.
The all-new Excess 11 redefines what's possible in an entry-level cruising catamaran and is now available for delivery to Australia. Despite her compact size, she delivers the volume and liveability of many traditional 40-footers, combined with a level of performance and sailing engagement rarely seen in this category. With over 300 vessels already delivered globally, the Excess 11 has also claimed top honours from Sail World and Cruising World magazines--two of the most respected awards in the multihull industry.
Designed by world-renowned naval architects VPLP, with interiors by Nauta Design, and built in Groupe Beneteau's state-of-the-art facilities alongside Lagoon, the Excess 11 benefits from decades of multihull innovation, engineering excellence, and global support.
Performance Meets Lifestyle
The Excess philosophy is simple: deliver a true sailing experience without compromising comfort. The Excess 11 achieves this through several key innovations:
Lightweight construction and advanced materials for improved efficiency and impressive light-wind performance
Next-generation hull design by VPLP, reducing wetted surface while maximising internal volume
Powerful sail plan with square-top mainsail and overlapping genoa as standard
Optional Pulse Line package, increasing sail area by up to 10% for enhanced performance
No flybridge, lowering the boom for better sail efficiency and improved stability at sea
Twin aft helm stations, offering direct steering via Dyneema linkages--delivering true helm feel and exceptional visibility for both sailing and docking
The helm layout is a defining feature--placing the skipper at the heart of the action, connected to both the sails and the social cockpit space. It's a setup that will feel instantly familiar to monohull sailors while offering all the advantages of catamaran cruising.
Spacious, Social Cockpit
The aft cockpit is one of the largest in its class, comfortably accommodating family and guests on a single level. Wide, flat side decks ensure safe movement around the vessel, while generous storage lockers provide ample room for cruising gear and water toys--ideal for Australian coastal adventures.
