Verdict
The Excess 13 is a lively, modern cruising catamaran that leans more toward sailing feel and easy handling than floating-condo volume. It suits crews who want a responsive 40-foot multihull with strong livability, though options and fit-out choices can push the price up.
Avantages
- +Light, performance-minded design for a cruising catamaran
- +Responsive under sail with a relatively tall rig and large sail plan
- +Good beam and hull-length balance for liveaboard comfort
- +Practical 6-cabin layout for charter or large families
- +Shallow draft expands cruising ground access
Inconvénients
- −Not as spacious as more volume-focused 40-foot cats
- −High-spec options can materially raise cost
- −Performance-oriented layout may feel less private than premium owner-focused designs
- −Handling and comfort depend heavily on engine and equipment choices
- −Standard cruising fit-out is less luxurious than some competitors
The Excess 13 follows the brand’s sportier catamaran formula: narrow hulls, a wide stance, and an emphasis on sailing engagement rather than maximum interior volume. Its published dimensions put it at about 12.99 m overall length, 7.25 m beam, 1.48 m draft, and roughly 10.65 tonnes displacement, which places it firmly in the modern performance-cruiser category.
On the water, the boat should feel more nimble than many cruising cats in this size range. The sail plan is substantial for the displacement, and the rig and twin-rudder setup are aimed at rewarding active sailing and making the boat easier to balance and steer. That said, as with most cats, close-quarters maneuvering and docking still depend on crew skill, windage awareness, and engine/thruster specification.
Inside, the Excess 13 prioritizes usable accommodation over ultra-luxury finishes. The 6-cabin, 8-guest arrangement is well suited to charter use or larger families, while the shallow draft improves access to anchorages that deeper boats may miss. Value is solid if the buyer wants a sailing-first catamaran, but it is less compelling for those who prioritize maximum saloon volume or high-end finish above all else.
