What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups The Excess 11 is an excellent choice for larger parties or families wanting to explore together without breaking the bank. With 10 berths across 6 cabins, you get serious sleeping capacity on a relatively compact catamaran, ideal for 8, 10 people looking to split costs.
Smart modern touches Solar panels, autopilot, and a chart plotter keep things straightforward for cruising, while the lazy jack and lazy bag system make sail handling genuinely easier. The dinghy, sprayhood, and bimini cover all the practical comfort boxes for extended coastal exploration.
Excellent value proposition At under €5,000 per week, this 2026 catamaran offers impressive bang for money when divided among a group, quality gear, recent build, and no deposit required removes friction. For transatlantic visitors flying into whatever base Y Knot Yachting operates from, this pricing makes a week-long bareboat adventure genuinely affordable.
One realistic note Six cabins on an 11-metre hull means compact sleeping quarters, not a luxury resort feel. If your group values spacious private cabins over value-for-money capacity, you might want to step up to a larger vessel.
