The Excess 13 is riding the wave of success!

Since its launch in 2025, the Excess 13 has established itself as a benchmark. By breaking the rules and proving that a cruising catamaran can deliver real sailing sensations without compromising on onboard comfort, it has received a warm welcome that fills us with pride.

Today, it has become the most awarded model in its category. And that’s thanks to you, thanks to the teams, and thanks to everyone who helped bring this project to life!

The awards that have marked its journey

  • Multihull of the Year 2025 – Jury Prize (Multicoques Mag, France)
  • European Yacht of the Year 2026 – Family Cruiser (jury of 12 European magazines)
  • Sailboat of the Year 2026 – Multihull Prize (Voile Magazine, France)
  • Top 10 Best Boats Award 2026 (Sail Magazine, United States)
  • Kazi Yacht Awards 2026 – Multihull Prize (Kazi Magazine, Japan)

The adventure continues. The Excess 13 is currently nominated for two new awards:

  • Best of Boats (Cruising World, United States) — results announced in Annapolis in 2026
  • Multihull of the Year – Sail under 45' (Multicoques Mag, France). This award depends on you, so if you love the Excess 13 as much as we do, help it win the title! Vote now (voting closes on April 22, 2026).

Balance as a Guiding Principle

These distinctions reflect our approach: seeking the perfect balance between sailing performance and comfort at anchor. That is the very DNA of the Excess 13.

Thibaut de Montvalon, Brand Director, explains:

“The pleasure of sailing lies in the search for balance: between course and speed, comfort and performance, weight and livability. The Excess 13 is designed around this balance. You feel it immediately on board, whether under sail or at anchor.”

In concrete terms, this means:

✔ A dynamic, sharp design
✔ A 360° open cockpit directly connected to the sea
✔ Sporty sailing without sacrificing comfort
✔ Finishes designed to last

Tested and Approved Around the World

The Excess 13 has been put through its paces by specialized media worldwide. Their feedback means a great deal to us:

Toby Hodges sums it up in one word: “Bravo!”
