At Southwest Yacht Sales, we’re always looking ahead—toward innovations that enhance both performance and sustainability. With the introduction of the Excess 11 Hybrid, Excess Catamarans takes a major step in redefining how we sail, combining the thrill of responsive cruising with cutting-edge hybrid technology.
This is not just an evolution. It’s a shift toward a smarter, quieter, and more autonomous way to experience life at sea.
A New Generation of Catamaran
The Excess 11 has already built a reputation as one of the most fun-to-sail cruising catamarans in her class—light, agile, and deeply connected to the helm. The Hybrid version builds on that DNA, adding an innovative propulsion system that reduces environmental impact while enhancing onboard comfort.
The result? A catamaran that delivers the same exhilarating sailing experience, now paired with energy efficiency and independence.
What Does Hybrid Mean on the Excess 11?
The Excess 11 Hybrid integrates a new approach to onboard energy management:
Electric propulsion system for silent maneuvering
Energy regeneration under sail, turning movement into usable power
Advanced battery storage to reduce reliance on fossil fuels
Optimized energy consumption for life onboard
This setup allows you to cruise quietly through anchorages, reduce fuel consumption, and enjoy a more peaceful connection with your surroundings.
Silent, Smooth, and Sustainable
One of the most immediate benefits of the hybrid system is silence.
Imagine entering a secluded anchorage with no engine noise—just the sound of water against the hulls. Early mornings become more serene. Evenings more immersive. Wildlife encounters more natural.
It’s a subtle change that completely transforms the onboard experience.
Designed for Autonomy
The Excess 11 Hybrid isn’t just about reducing emissions—it’s about increasing freedom.
With smarter energy use and regeneration, you can:
Stay longer at anchor without running a generator
Power onboard systems more efficiently
Reduce fuel stops and operating costs
For sailors who value independence, this is a game-changer.
Performance Still Comes First
Importantly, this innovation doesn’t compromise what Excess is known for: pure sailing pleasure.
The Excess 11 Hybrid retains:
Twin aft helms for direct steering feel
Lightweight construction for responsiveness
A modern sail plan designed for performance
You still get the adrenaline, the control, and the connection—just with a more responsible footprint.
