Beneteau Oceanis 473

2023 Excess 11 Catamaran in Croatia


Now lying in Pula, Croatia, this 2023 Excess 11 combines sporty performance with inviting liveaboard comfort. Designed as the smallest cruising catamaran with genuine ocean-going capability, she offers a responsive sailing experience with twin aft helms, dual rudders, and a fractional sloop rig. Whether island-hopping in the Adriatic or setting out on longer passages, she delivers both excitement and reliability.


Constructed with lightweight balsa-core sandwich and infused resin, this yacht achieves an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. She is powered by twin Yanmar 29 HP engines and carries 400 liters of fuel for extended autonomy. The sail plan includes a full-batten mainsail, self-tacking jib, and the option for a Code 0 or gennaker to enhance downwind performance. Helm winches are within easy reach, making her ideal for solo or short-handed sailing, while integrated electronics include GPS/chartplotter, autopilot, and wind and depth instruments.


Inside, natural light fills a versatile 4-cabin layout, with two additional forepeak crew cabins and a convertible saloon berth. Two spacious heads feature separate showers, and the up-galley offers a gas stove, oven, refrigerator, and generous storage. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a forward sun lounge, aft cockpit dining area, and a swim platform with ladder and shower. A generator, shore power, and water heater provide comfort for extended stays onboard.


This Excess 11 is a rare opportunity to own a modern, cruise-ready catamaran in the heart of the Adriatic. Contact us today to arrange a private viewing in Pula.

The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.

Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.
