Excess 11
0 Excess 11
The Excess 11 is a compact catamaran that sails noticeably better than its size suggests, with a layout that makes the most of every square meter through a dual helm design that opens the entire aft area into a single connected living space.
The Excess 11 is a 11.33 meter catamaran designed by VPLP with interior styling by Nauta Design, built to deliver a genuine sailing experience without sacrificing the onboard comfort that makes a week at sea feel easy rather than demanding. The most immediately practical feature is the twin aft helm configuration: the two helm stations are positioned outboard on either side of the cockpit, which leaves the entire central area of the stern free and creates a seamless connection between the cockpit, the saloon and the water. This one-level living approach means the boat feels considerably more open than its length implies.
The cockpit is the social center of the boat, with a table capable of seating the full group for meals, direct access down to the water from the stern steps and easy movement between the deck and the saloon through wide openings. The forward trampolines add additional outdoor space for relaxing at anchor or watching the water during a passage. The saloon is modest in size, as expected on a 37-foot catamaran, but well organized, with a galley suited to real cooking and a chart table that keeps navigation separate from the living area.
Below deck, the Excess 11 is available in three or four cabin configurations. The four-cabin version used by the operator accommodates up to nine guests including the skipper, with two double cabins in each hull and a shared bathroom per hull. Cabins are compact but practical, with opening skylights and large elongated portlights that bring in natural light and ventilation. The boat sails well in the light to moderate conditions typical of the Ionian Sea in summer, reaching comfortable passage speeds that make the daily distances between islands feel relaxed rather than rushed.

2024 Lagoon 42
Large sliding doors connect the cockpit and saloon into a single continuous space, which is the feature guests on this model mention most after a week on board.
The cockpit seats eight comfortably around a fixed dining table, and when the three-panel sliding door behind it opens fully, the interior and exterior merge into one level living area that spans the full beam of the boat. The galley sits to port inside the saloon, in an L-shaped arrangement that works well underway without isolating the cook from the rest of the group.
The flybridge above the saloon adds a genuine second social level with its own wraparound seating, table and helm station, well suited to sundowners or simply following the coastline from a higher vantage point while someone else takes the wheel below. Forward, a trampoline net between the bows is consistently the preferred sunbathing spot for most guests.
The hull design gives the boat a beam considerably wider than most monohulls of similar overall length, which shows most clearly below deck. Four double cabins, each with a private en suite bathroom, are arranged across both hulls with enough separation that four couples can share the boat for a week without the layout feeling crowded. The swim platform is just two steps below the cockpit level, with direct access through a transom gate on the port side.
The exact year and configuration of the boat assigned will be confirmed before departure, with comfort and layout kept consistent across similar vessels in the fleet.
