LOGBOOK - EXCESS 13

Our latest addition, the Excess 13, takes to the high seas!

This maiden voyage leaves Les Sables-d'Olonne for La Grande Motte, where the Excess 13 will be unveiled at the International Multihull Boat Show 2025.

An exciting voyage, with stopovers in Portugal and Spain, which will give us the opportunity to observe the Excess 13 in full sail before its grand unveiling.

The Excess 13 continues the Excess DNA with a lighter, more responsive and livelier catamaran. Its optimized volumes and the integration of carbon elements give it a dynamic look, while guaranteeing ideal comfort for life on board. Designed for sailors in search of sensations and adventure, it represents the perfect balance between performance and pleasure at sea.
