SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 21, 2025 - A new benchmark in 37-foot cruising catamarans
Excess Catamarans continues to redefine the standards of compact cruising yachts with the Excess 11, a 37-foot catamaran that delivers the features and comforts typically found in much larger vessels. Designed for sailors seeking both performance and liveaboard luxury, the Excess 11 is the only large-scale production catamaran in its size class on the market today.
Bold design and serious cruising capabilities
A refined blend of style and seaworthiness
At just over 11 meters in length, the Excess 11 was conceived with one mission: to offer a real cruising experience capable of handling extended passages while delivering comfort and space. Developed by the acclaimed VPLP Design, with exterior styling by Patrick le Quément and interiors by Nauta Design, the Excess 11 combines contemporary aesthetics with practical functionality.
With its “racy design”, the boat is “light and comfortable,” making it ideal for long-distance adventures and coastal cruising alike. Every element—from the sleek lines to the twin helm stations—has been crafted to enhance the sailing experience.
Spacious living in a smart layout
Comfort without compromise
Despite its compact size, the Excess 11 boasts the volume of a much larger catamaran. The saloon and cabins are generously sized, featuring a “2 by 2-meter (6½’x6½’) bed in the owner's cabin” and “bathrooms with separate showers.” On deck, sailors can enjoy the “comfort and friendliness of a large open cockpit” that keeps the entire crew connected.
Bright, modern, and customizable interiors complete the onboard experience. With a “lively atmosphere” highlighted by “brilliant light” and stylish Cedar & White Touch wood finishes, owners can choose from three interior design options to personalize their space.
Exceptional performance, intuitive control
Built for thrill-seekers and cruisers alike
The Excess 11’s sailing performance draws inspiration from the racing world, featuring a larger sail area for better light-wind capability and optimized handling. The “twin aft helm stations” provide direct contact with the boat, placing “sail trimming right there, at your fingertips.”
With an upwind sail area of up to 95.5 m², the catamaran is fast and agile, yet user-friendly. From “one helm station to the other,” sailors have a complete view of the sea, sails, and bows—ensuring maximum control and connection with the water.
Smart technology at sea
Stay connected with SEANAPPS
Excess 11 owners also benefit from SEANAPPS technology, a smart onboard solution that allows them to “access all your boat's information directly from your smartphone.” Whether you're moored in port or anchored in a remote cove, the SEANAPPS mobile app ensures peace of mind with real-time updates on the vessel’s status.
An invitation to explore
Take the next step in your sailing journey
Combining modern design, generous living spaces, and exceptional sailing capabilities, the Excess 11 is the perfect match for adventure-seekers ready to explore the world’s hidden corners. From “an isolated cove, an abandoned beach or a secret wave,” this catamaran is built to take you there in style and comfort.
