Urteil
The Excess 11 is a compact cruising catamaran with a noticeably sportier brief than many rivals: quick sail handling, shallow draft and a more engaged helm. It gives up some interior volume and luxury finish versus roomier 37-foot cats, but stands out for active sailing and sensible ownership costs.
Vorteile
- +Light, responsive sailing feel for a cruising catamaran
- +Shallow draft suits coastal cruising and anchorages
- +12-berth, 4-cabin layout offers strong charter flexibility
- +Modern, efficient platform with relatively modest twin 29 hp engines
- +More engaging helm and sail plan than many mainstream cruising cats
Nachteile
- −Less interior volume than bulkier cats of similar length
- −Comfort and storage can feel tighter with 12 guests aboard
- −Not as plush as higher-end bluewater catamarans
- −Performance-oriented setup may be less relaxed for pure passage-making
- −Options can push the price up noticeably
The Excess 11 is a 37-foot sailing catamaran designed around the idea of a lighter, more lively cruising boat rather than a floating apartment. Its proportions, twin helm stations, and fractional sloop rig give it a distinct performance bias, while the 1.15 m draft makes it practical for shallow waters and varied cruising grounds. The design is neat and purposeful rather than opulent, with the focus on sailing efficiency and easy handling.
On the water, the boat is known for being responsive and fun to sail for its size, with a rig and sail plan that favor easy acceleration and active trim. That livelier character is one of its main selling points, though it also means it will not feel as soft or as isolated from the sea as some heavier cruising catamarans. Twin small diesel engines are enough for harbor work and backup propulsion, but the yacht’s personality is clearly under sail.
Inside, the Excess 11 offers a flexible 3- to 4-cabin layout and can sleep up to 12, which makes it attractive for charter use and larger groups. The trade-off is cabin and saloon volume: at this length, it is more compact than many rivals, so livability is better suited to active cruising than to maximum-space comfort. As a value proposition, it is competitive for buyers who want a modern catamaran with strong sailing manners, though option packs can raise the final cost meaningfully.
