On October 18th, 2025, Thailand’s first Excess 11 officially graced the waters of the Andaman Sea. The Excess dealer in the Kingdom, Primus Marine, organized the Thailand Premiere of this popular model at the beautiful Ao Po Grand Marina in Phuket, marking the official entry of the Excess Catamarans into Thailand.
The Primus Marine team invested a significant amount of manpower and resources to make this event a great success. Prior to the big day, final checks of the Excess 11 and a morning sea trial were conducted to ensure everything was perfectly ready to welcome the guests for the Excess Thailand Premiere.
This highly anticipated event began with local media flashing their cameras and providing exclusive coverage of the dashing Excess 11 anchored at the marina in the morning. As guest arrived, the Primus Marine team busied themselves with showcasing the vessel’s amazing features. As dusk approached, guests boarded the Excess 11 to chase after the sunset, providing an excellent opportunity to experience the vessel’s performance at sea.
Thailand is one of Asia’s top sailing destinations, featuring diverse sailing grounds, gorgeous beaches and warm waters that offer year-around sailing opportunities. Whether joining the charter fleet or sailing for personal pleasure, the Excess 11 is the ideal model for exploring the welcoming beach resorts or secluded islets in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. It is capable of serious bluewater cruising, and its compact design and versatile interiors cater to the hybrid sailing lifestyle of new-generation sailors.
As the entry model of the Excess family, the Excess 11 has achieved market success and gained industry recognition. In 2024, Excess celebrated an important milestone with the production of over 200 Excess 11 hulls at its Vendée shipyard.
In the APAC region alone, the Excess 11 has been spotted cruising in Australia, mainland China, Japan, French Polynesia, and now Thailand. In 2025, Excess launched the Excess 11 Hybrid version to meet the growing demand for noise-reducing cruises and sustainable sailing.
Excitingly, a brand-new Excess 14 and Excess 13 are expected to arrive in Thailand in 2026. With the rapid expansion of Excess’ network in the Asia-Pacific region, the Excess brand continues to thrive and attract more enthusiastic, freedom-seeking sailors in our area.
