Riders’ Edition: When Your Catamaran Becomes the Ultimate Base Camp

What if your catamaran wasn’t just a way to travel—but the starting point for every adventure?

With the launch of the Riders’ Edition, Excess Catamarans reimagines life at sea. Available on the Excess 11 and Excess 14, this new concept transforms your yacht into a true floating base camp—built for those who don’t just sail, but explore.

A New Way to Experience the Ocean

The idea behind the Riders’ Edition is simple—but powerful.

Instead of seeing the ocean as the final destination, it becomes your playground. You sail, you anchor… and that’s when the real adventure begins.

Imagine starting your morning wingfoiling across glassy waters, heading ashore for a trail run, exploring hidden coastal paths by bike, or casting a line in remote fishing spots few ever reach. Then, you return to your catamaran—your base, your comfort, your reset—ready to do it all again.

This is sailing redefined: freedom, movement, and exploration without limits.

Built for Adventure On—and Off—the Water

The Riders’ Edition isn’t just a styling upgrade. It’s a thoughtfully curated package designed to support an active, experience-driven lifestyle.

Performance & Sailing

Designed to keep the thrill alive under sail:

• Grey DCX sails paired with Pulse Line rigging

• Custom Riders’ Edition lazy bag

• Sleek black steering wheels

• Garmin Quatix 8 smartwatch integration

• Exclusive hull artwork for a bold, unmistakable identity

Comfort After the Effort

Because recovery matters as much as the ride:

• Premium Sunbrella interior and exterior upholstery

• Cushion kits and modular bean bags by 727 Sailbags

• Relaxed, adaptable lounging spaces throughout

Autonomy & Freedom

Stay off-grid longer and go further:

• Integrated water purification system

• Electric inflator for watersports gear

• Equipment designed for independence at every anchorage

A Signature That Moves With You

What sets the Riders’ Edition apart visually is its distinctive wave artwork—created by Peïo, an artist, surfer, and rider.

Rendered in fluid watercolor, the wave reflects motion, energy, and connection to the elements. It’s more than design—it’s a symbol of the Excess DNA: dynamic, free-spirited, and always in motion.

Powered by Like-Minded Partners

To bring this concept to life, Excess collaborated with partners who share the same passion for precision, performance, and exploration. Every detail of the Riders’ Edition reflects a commitment to pushing boundaries—on the water and beyond.

An Edition Made to Be Lived

Available on both the Excess 11 and Excess 14, the Riders’ Edition is designed for sailors who want more than cruising—it’s for those who want experiences.

This is not just a boat.It’s your launchpad. Your retreat. Your base camp for everything the ocean—and the shore beyond—has to offer.
