Over the weeks, the Excess 12, one of the first two catamarans - with the Excess 15 - of the new brand launched by the Bénéteau group is unveiled. ActuNautique invites you to discover the cockpit and the front deck of this model positioned on sportiness and the pleasure of sailing.

Cannes will be the opportunity for the Bordeaux shipyard to present the Excess 12 and Excess 15, the first two models of a new brand to launch 5 units in two and a half years!

In a market where pleasure catamarans - with the exception of purely sporting brands - have evolved towards greater comfort, with the help of flybridges and luxurious finishes, making catamarans real second homes, Excess intends to return to the fundamentals of market, when the catamarans were above all sailboats on board which the pleasure to the bar and the sportiness were of putting!

Positioned above the future Excess 11, the Excess 12 is a 11.73m long unit, or 38.5 feet, whose sporty profile conveys the DNA of the brand: clean lines, pure, smooth, like a pebble polished by water, reinforced by the absence of fly, helm stations located at the back of the hulls, rigging back ...

To be sure, Excess relies on the seduction asset to stand out on the water, with a recognizable style among a thousand.

A style that announces fun at the helm, the joy of sailing, without, however, denying a level of comfort expected today by boaters.
