With its sleek design, aft helm stations for instinctive steering, lively central cockpit, and bright spaces, everything has been designed to deliver direct sensations and true agility under sail, while catering to today’s hybrid lifestyle at sea!
Since its launch at last year’s International Multihull Show, the Excess 13 has enjoyed remarkable success, with nearly 50 units already delivered to Excess owners worldwide.
In the APAC region alone, two units have been handed over to their owners through the European Delivery program, while one unit arrived in Australia in February and another in Thailand in March.
The Excess 13 has already received numerous international awards, including European Yacht of the Year 2026 and Multihull of the Year 2025. Its most recent recognition came at the 2026 Yacht Style Awards in Singapore this April, where it won the Best Sailing Catamaran Under 14m award.
This strong track record highlights the model’s growing success worldwide, confirming its status as a true international sensation, highly acclaimed by both the global sailing community and the industry.
At this year’s Singapore Yachting Festival, where the Excess 13 officially launched its APAC tour, we experienced an outstanding turnout and received overwhelmingly positive feedback. This further reinforces our belief that the model is ideally positioned to meet the needs of a new generation of sailors—delivering thrilling sailing sensations without compromising onboard comfort.
We are now excited to share this momentum with our Australian customers at SCIBS 2026.
