Would you prefer the high-visibility twin helm stations for a spirited reach or the expansive social layout for a weekend at anchor? Rate this yacht from 1–5 stars and comment below! Excess 15 © Excess Catamarans Length overall: 14.73 m or 48 ft 4 in Beam: 8.03 m or 26 ft 4 in Draft: 1.40 m or 4 ft 7 in Displacement: 18,400 kg or 40,572 lb Mainsail area: 104 m² or 1,119 sq ft Pulse Line sail area: 117 m² or 1,259 sq ft Engines: 2 x 57 hp or 80 hp Fuel capacity: 1,040 L or 275 US gal Water capacity: 480 L or 127 US gal Cabins: 3-6 Berths: 6-14 persons The Excess 15 is the flagship of the Excess line, designed by VPLP Design to offer a more connected and sensory sailing experience than traditional cruising catamarans. Its most distinctive feature is the twin aft helm stations, which provide a direct link to the water and excellent visibility of the sails, reminiscent of monohull racing. The yacht is available with the Pulse Line rig, which features a taller mast and an increased sail area to weight ratio, ensuring spirited performance even in light wind conditions. The interior design by Nauta Design breaks away from traditional yacht aesthetics, offering a bright, contemporary environment with a choice of three to six cabins to suit private owners or large groups. The cockpit is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, featuring a retractable sunroof that allows guests to control sunlight and ventilation throughout the day. Engineered with a low boom and a high-aspect ratio rig for efficiency, the 15 delivers a modern maritime lifestyle without sacrificing the thrill of the wind. A well-specified model is typically valued at 1 million US dollars. #Excess15 #SailingCatamaran #VPLPDesign #HarbourMasters

A ship shipping ship, shipping ships! 🤪 If you don’t wanna stay in the Caribbean for hurricane season (started June 1) but you also don’t want to sail your boat back to Europe (and cross the notorious North Atlantic which can be quite intense and stormy), you can pay a lot of money to get your sailboat shipped to Europe. Has anyone ever done it? 😅⛵️🚢 #ship #shipping #sailboat #shipshippingships #hurricaneseason

Carry a VHF radio operator's license, because you won't always know what a country requires, and remember your boat's flag state sets your licensing rules, not the country you're visiting. Keep your ducks in a row so a boarding never turns into a problem. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com
