Perfect for couples or small families. The Excess 11 is an ideal mid-sized catamaran for groups of 4, 8 people seeking a relaxed Caribbean getaway without breaking the bank. Its 2023 build means you're getting modern systems and reliable performance.

Smart practical features. Solar panels and an inverter keep running costs low, while the dinghy and snorkeling gear are genuine time-savers for exploring remote anchorages and reefs. The bimini provides essential shade in the Caribbean heat, and a chart plotter handles navigation smoothly.

Excellent value proposition. At €2,300 per week, you're paying genuinely competitive rates for a nearly new catamaran with four separate cabins, that's roughly €288 per person for a week-long adventure if you fill all berths. The €4,500 deposit is reasonable for this size and spec.

One honest note: The operator has only two reviews on record, so you're chartering with a smaller, less-established outfit. Not a dealbreaker, many excellent local operators fly under the radar, but do ask Star Voyage Antilles directly about their maintenance schedules, insurance, and emergency support before you commit. A quick call will tell you everything you need to know about whether they're right for you.
