What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
Perfect for groups The Excess 11 is a modern catamaran that sleeps up to 10 across six cabins, making it ideal for extended families or friend groups wanting to share costs and adventures. The 2025 build means everything is contemporary and reliable.
Smart cruising kit You're getting genuinely useful features here: dual chart plotters, autopilot for longer passages, solar panels for quiet anchorages, and a proper tender with snorkeling gear included. The lazy jack and bag system make sail handling effortless, which matters when you've got mixed sailing abilities on board.
Strong value proposition Zero deposit is a genuine perk that reduces upfront commitment, and Istion Yachting's 5-star rating (12 reviews) speaks to reliable service and well-maintained boats. For a brand-new six-cabin cat, the daily rates appear competitive for what you're getting.
One practical note You'll need to factor in the flight logistics to reach the base location, we don't have the specific port listed here, but Istion typically operates in Mediterranean hotspots. Ask them about airport transfer options and how long it takes to get boat-ready after a long-haul flight, as that affects your first day afloat.
