Welcome on board!

Excess is the catamaran brand from Groupe Beneteau with a sporty and connected character. The yearning to put to sea is now taking on new desires and new needs. Starting with this in mind, boatbuilders Excess have designed their yachts. This brand invites you to enjoy sailing with friends or family on board comfortable and fast boats.

With unique, graceful and seductive lines, let yourself be carried away by her design. The visibility from the helm station, the fine touch of the wheel, the opening bimini roof... everything has been done to allow you to fully live the experience of the Excess 12.

The Excess 12 adopts a marked chine and a pronounced deck sheer, creating unique lines. Her twin helm stations, located aft, offer a maximum of sensations and create a more seamanlike concept that brings us closer to the sea. The light and precise helm and the opening bimini are reminiscent of the pleasures of helming a monohull.

The cockpit of this boat is bathed in light thanks to its opening roof. On the outside there is the usual trampoline between the hulls, great for sunbathing, as well as the large exterior table. The hulls have a large volume with the option of a three double cabin or four double cabin version.

With her completely new lines for the coachroof, a short nacelle and the taller Pulse Line rig, the Excess 12 brings a breath of fresh air to the world of cruising catamarans.
