Brand Introduction

Excess is the catamaran sailing brand of the French Bénéteau Group, officially launched in 2018. The brand was created in response to the expectations of the younger generation of sailors for a ‘more fun, less constrained’ way of sailing. In contrast to traditional catamarans, which emphasise stability and comfort, Excess focuses on fun handling and sporty performance, which is directly reflected in its overall design. The Excess design team is made up of experienced boat engineers from Lagoon and Bénéteau, but they decided early on in the project to move away from Lagoon and try to respond to the market's demand for a new type of catamaran by using a more minimalist, lightweight design language.

Heritage
Launched by Groupe Beneteau in 2019, Excess brought a new sailing catamaran concept focused on sensations and comfort.
Design Philosophy
Sleek lines, twin aft helm stations, and open living spaces create a more direct and engaging sailing experience.
Craftsmanship & Innovation
VPLP naval architecture and Beneteau Group shipbuilding expertise support modern, efficient, and performance-oriented catamaran designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Excess specializes in sailing catamarans rather than offering a broad range of monohull yachts or motorboats. Its current range includes the Excess 11, Excess 13, and Excess 14, while earlier models such as the Excess 12 and Excess 15 remain relevant in the pre-owned market. The brand focuses on combining sailing sensations, contemporary design, onboard comfort, and practical cruising capability across its catamaran range.
