Excess Catamarans For Sale

Excess is a family of production cruising catamarans produced within the Beneteau / Bateau Group environment and presented in listings as performance‑oriented boats that balance sailing sensations with onboard volume and livability. Models shown in current listings range from the 37ft Excess 11 to larger platform iterations such as the Excess 14 and Excess 15, and are consistently described with twin helm stations, open cockpits and an emphasis on direct steering feedback and offshore capability.

The Excess 11, described in owner listings as a 37ft (11m) Pulse Line Owners Version, is positioned as a compact, long‑range cruising platform that aims to deliver space normally associated with larger boats. Reported features include a 2 x 2 m owner’s berth, separate showers in the heads, a large saloon and an open cockpit with twin helms to preserve direct steering sensations. Multiple owner boats have been outfitted for full‑time cruising with equipment such as lithium batteries, large inverters, watermakers and air conditioning, demonstrating the model’s aptitude for liveaboard and bluewater use.

The Excess 14 is presented in listings as an owner‑focused, performance‑biased 14m catamaran, with a premium three‑cabin owner’s layout, a low boom, aft helm positions, direct cable steering and a forward‑set rig. One example cited hull‑by‑hull refinement: early hulls received factory post‑production upgrades performed by Excess/Beneteau teams to align initial builds with later standards. Owners described in listings have used the Excess 14 for ocean passages, underlining the model’s offshore credentials when properly equipped.

The largest model referenced, the Excess 15, is described with an area of 125 m (1,345 sq ft), a 25‑metre (82ft) mast and an 8‑metre beam, and is shown with a raised saloon offering a 360° view through non‑smoked bay windows. Configurable interior plans from three to six double cabins are noted in listings, alongside a cockpit sized to accommodate a large dining arrangement. Across the range, the stated design intent is a synthesis of racy lines, light construction and comfortable accommodation to deliver both sailing performance and practical liveaboard features.
