Following the boat pick-up in Hong Kong from late April, we are pleased to share the first Excess 11 was finally revealed to general public in Hainan on June 14th, 2023, marking the entry of Excess catamaran in China.

This highly-anticipated event was starting at 6 pm, at Clearwater Bay Marina's clubhouse, with excellent attendance from local government officials, industry journalists, partners to sailing enthusiasts, thanks to Vastar Yachts, our Excess dealer for China region.

"I always have a strong passion in sailing, and this Excess 11 allows me to explore the ocean. We've been waiting this boat for more than two and a half years; but she is worth the waiting." - Yu Jiang, owner of Excess 11 in China.

"We are glad to witness the first Excess 11 in China sails beautifully in the waters of Hainan, where most of China's yachts are registered, a barometer of the country's yachting industry. The Excess 11 boasts space and comfort that a multihull can offer and at the same time, brings sailing pleasures of helming a monohull. We are thrilled that Vastar Yachts introduces the Excess brand into the Chinese market, and glad that the Chinese owner loves this model!" - Guillaume ANDREBE, Excess Sales Director, Asia Pacific

"This launch event is a great success with the support of the Excess APAC team. Catamarans is gaining the momentum in the Chinese market.
