Excess has placed the Excess 11 at the centre of a new product story describing how the smallest model in its range behaves under sail. The builder's July 2026 feature concentrates on the boat's response at the helm, compact dimensions and cruising role.
The yard presents the 11 as a production catamaran intended to combine usable living volume with a more direct sailing feel than buyers might expect from a cruising multihull. Its twin-helm arrangement and relatively compact platform are central to that positioning.
Excess also points to the boat's accommodation and onboard volume, arguing that the design gives owners many of the practical benefits associated with larger cruising catamarans. The model is available in several configurations, including standard and alternative equipment packages.
At about 37 feet, the Excess 11 is particularly relevant to Leisure Boat Guide because it shows how far modern production catamarans can push accommodation while remaining below 12 metres. It sits in a segment where buyers are balancing marina footprint, handling and genuine liveaboard capability.
