Our latest photoshoot with the Excess 11 in Seattle was one for the books. From stunning sunsets over Elliot Bay to the catamaran's sleek performance on the water, the Excess 11 proved it's not just a boat—it's a lifestyle. Ready to set sail? You might find yourself planning your own Pacific Northwest adventure after seeing the Excess 11 in action!

There are days on the water that you just can't shake from your memory—and our latest photoshoot with the Excess 11 in Seattle, Washington was one of them. Golden-turned-purple sunsets over Elliot Bay, the majestic Olympic Mountains in the backdrop, and the sleek silhouette of the Excess 11 cutting through the water like it was born for the Pacific Northwest. With its unmatched agility and style, this catamaran proved it's not just a boat—it's a lifestyle. Fair warning: once you see the Excess 11 in action, you might find yourself plotting your own escape to the Upper Left of the US!

But what made this day even more special were the owners of the Excess 11, a family who starred in the shoot. The kids paddled along, their laughter carrying across the water, while their parents cruised behind, soaking in the magic of the moment. It was clear that for them, life aboard the Excess 11 wasn't just about sailing—it was the backdrop to their adventure, a home on the water where they could truly live the lifestyle they love.
