What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for couples & small groups. The Excess 11 is an ideal four-cabin catamaran for two to four couples or a family wanting comfortable, spread-out accommodation without the sprawl of a larger vessel. At 12.1m, it's manageable for intermediate sailors while still offering genuine space and stability.
Well-equipped modern cat. Solar panels, inverter, and autopilot make this a genuinely practical boat for week-long cruising, you'll conserve power, reduce engine time, and enjoy easier helmsmanship during longer passages. The chart plotter in the cockpit is a real convenience, and the dinghy inclusion means proper exploration of those smaller Ionian anchorages.
Excellent value proposition. At €3,125/week plus a modest €3,500 deposit, this 2023 boat undercuts comparable new catamarans significantly while delivering modern systems and virtually no wear-and-tear concerns. For international guests flying into Greece, you're getting genuine quality without premium pricing.
One small note: The operator has only two reviews on record, still perfect scores, but a limited feedback pool. Before committing, check recent guest comments or ask Ionian Catamarans directly about typical cruising grounds and any seasonal quirks in the Ionian.

Where Charters WentTop Stop: Meganisi, 59% of trips
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Lefkas, the Inland Sea and Kefalonia during the 2025 season. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Meganisi was the most common first night out, at 37% of trips with a recorded first night. On 62% of trips, the furthest point from base was within 20 to 40 nm, measured in a straight line.
Use the recorded stops as a starting point for your charter plans. The full map gives you more to compare, and you can ask us about a route from Lefkas, the Inland Sea and Kefalonia for this type of boat.
