Who Is S/CAT Alia Ideal For?
Design-conscious younger groups, experienced sailors wanting performance, couples seeking intimate cat charter, Instagram-savvy clients, anyone tired of boring beige charter boats
George's Inside Info
“This is the coolest boat in our Explorer Fleet for the right client. The Excess brand barely existed five years ago — now it's the choice for design-forward sailors. At 37 feet, Alia is nimble enough to sail into anchorages where larger cats struggle. The 2024 build means everything is fresh and modern. Perfect for a Cyclades trip where you actually want to sail between islands rather than just motor. The self-tacking jib is a game-changer for short-handed crews.”
— George P. Biniaris, Managing Broker & IYBA Member
The Yacht in Detail
Brand new 2024. The Alia is an Excess 11 — the sportiest, most modern compact catamaran on the water. Excess is sailing's answer to clients who want performance and design, not just comfort and space.
Why Excess?
Excess is Beneteau Group's performance catamaran brand, launched in 2018 for sailors who find traditional cruising cats too slow and conservative. The 11 is their compact flagship — designed for couples and small groups who want to actually sail, not just motor between anchorages. Self-tacking jib makes short-handed sailing effortless. The hull design delivers genuine sailing performance without sacrificing stability.
Compact doesn't mean cramped
At 37 feet, Alia is smaller than typical charter cats — but the interior design maximises every centimetre. Five cabins accommodate up to 10 guests. The salon flows seamlessly to the cockpit. Electric winches and autopilot make handling straightforward. Contemporary styling throughout — this doesn't look like your father's charter boat.
Who charters Alia?
Younger groups who care about design and Instagram aesthetics. Experienced sailors who want to actually use the sails. Couples seeking a more intimate cat experience than the 45+ foot alternatives. Anyone who's looked at traditional charter cats and thought 'too beige, too boring' — Excess is the antidote.
