What KateBot thinks

Who it suits This 2024 Excess 11 is ideal for larger groups or families wanting modern comfort without breaking the bank, 10 berths across 6 cabins means everyone gets their own space. It's a solid choice for both confident sailors and those happy to relax while a skipper takes the helm.
Standout features You're getting genuinely useful kit here: water maker and solar panels mean real self-sufficiency, autopilot and chart plotter handle navigation, and the sprayhood plus bimini keep you comfortable in variable weather. A 2024 build is essentially brand new, so you'll enjoy modern reliability and minimal wear.
Strong value proposition At €2,440/week with zero deposit required, this represents excellent value for a contemporary catamaran of this size and specification. The operational support from Y Knot Yachting adds peace of mind without premium pricing.
One practical note You'll want to confirm the exact base location, as the listing doesn't specify, this matters for your long-haul flight planning and airport transfer time. Once you know where it operates, check typical flight connections from your nearest hub to ensure the journey works for your group.
