Excess is a relatively recent entrant into the sailing catamaran market, having been formed as a brand under the larger Groupe Beneteau in 2018. Groupe Beneteau, a well-established name in the boating industry, identified an opportunity in the expanding multihull sector and decided to create a distinct brand that would cater to a younger, more adventurous demographic. The concept behind Excess was to deliver performance-oriented catamarans with an emphasis on modern design, ease of handling, and on-water fun.Excess catamarans are characterised by their sleek lines, open living areas, and sporty sailing capabilities, distinguishing them from other catamarans that might prioritise luxury or traditional aesthetics. The brand quickly gained traction among sailing enthusiasts who value innovation and a dynamic sailing experience. By leveraging Groupe Beneteau's extensive experience and resources, Excess has been able to develop a range of models that embody these principles, gaining a reputable standing in the competitive catamaran market.Currently, Excess operates with its headquarters in Vendee, France, sharing the same region as its parent company, Groupe Beneteau. The location provides strategic advantages, including access to advanced manufacturing facilities and a skilled workforce familiar with cutting-edge boat building techniques. The brand continues to expand its portfolio and customer base, appealing to a new generation of sailors seeking both performance and style on the water.
