APAC's first Excess 14 was picked up in Les Sables-d'Olonne, France, so was the case of Australia's first Excess 14.

Two brand-new Excess 11 arrived in Tahiti in March whose owners also chose to receive the vessel in France and embark on adventures of a lifetime with the assistance of professional skippers or their dealers.

So comes the question, why more and more APAC owners favour European delivery? Here's some highlights of this service.

  • Skip the long wait for the dream boat to arrive at home port;
  • Embark on the journey of a lifetime right away! The exciting route includes crossing the Atlantic which has been the dreams of many owners and sailing enthusiasts, visiting the Mediterranean and the Caribbean islands; crossing the South Pacific and back to sweet home;
  • Our APAC dealers like Flagstaff Marine (based in Australia) and Sail Tahiti (based in French Polynesia), offer premium on-site factory pickup services for owners. Contact our dealers directly and learn more about the services;
  • Do the European sightseeing onboard while gaining practical sailing skills during the journey;
  • Save the budget of shipping expenses and VAT tax for savouring top-quality French wine and European cuisine.
