Did We Buy the WRONG BOAT? We Had To Compromise! Top Five Favourite Things About Our Cat
After our “5 Annoying Things” video last week, some people in the comments thought we didn’t do any research… that we don’t know how to spec a boat correctly… or that we simply bought the wrong one.
The truth? Unless money is no object, there’s no such thing as a truly perfect boat – buying a yacht is all about compromise, especially in the entry-level cruising category.
In this video, we’re lifting the lid on our decision-making process, looking at the top cats under 40 feet and how we concluded that the Excess 11 was the best liveaboard catamaran for us. We’ll talk about:
Catamaran comparison between: Excess 11 Vs Bali 3.8, Catsmart Vs Aventura 37.
⛵ The yachts we considered and the ones we quickly ruled out
⚖ The compromises we knew we’d have to make
🏆 The top 5 reasons we chose the Excess 11
😍 Our dream boat if money were no object
So… did we make the right decision? Let’s find out.
