What makes Excess Catamarans different from traditional cruising catamarans?
Excess Catamarans are lighter, faster, and more responsive than traditional cruising catamarans, with refined hulls and sail plans that deliver real helm feedback and sailing pleasure. They prioritize performance and balance over excess volume, while still offering the comfort needed for modern cruising.
Who are Excess Catamarans designed for?
Excess Catamarans are designed for sailors who love to sail—those who want speed, responsiveness, and real helm feel, without sacrificing comfort. They’re ideal for owners who value performance cruising, modern design, and an active, hands-on sailing experience rather than floating-apartment living.

Yes. Excess Catamarans are performance-oriented, designed to be lighter, faster, and more responsive than traditional cruising catamarans, delivering real sailing feel and helm feedback while still maintaining comfortable cruising layouts.
How do Excess Catamarans sail compared to other catamarans?
Excess Catamarans sail more like performance boats than typical cruising catamarans. They are faster, more responsive, and more engaging at the helm, with better upwind ability and a livelier feel. This is especially true with the Excess 13, which stands out for its excellent balance of speed, helm feedback, and cruising comfort, making it one of the most rewarding catamarans in its class to sail.
Are Excess Catamarans suitable for offshore cruising?

Are Excess Catamarans stable and easy to handle?
Yes — Excess Catamarans are stable and easy to handle. Their modern hull design and balanced sail plan make them predictable and confidence-inspiring, while systems like well-placed winches, sensible deck layouts, and optional electric furling make sailing straightforward for short-handed crews. So you get good stability under sail and simple handling, without sacrificing the performance feel that makes them fun to sail
