The SECRETS The Yacht Broker Doesn't Tell You! 5 Things We Hate About Our Brand New Yacht
After 4 months of living full-time on our Excess 11 catamaran, we’ve discovered a few problems that our yacht broker didn't tell us when we bought our boat!
In this video, we’re sharing the 5 most annoying things about our catamaran (and yes, we know we're probably top of the list too 😂) — those little frustrations and design quirks that only become obvious once you’re actually living aboard. From everyday inconveniences to features that just don’t work the way you’d hope, we’re breaking down the stuff the sales broker definitely didn’t mention.
If you’re thinking about buying a catamaran (whether it’s an Excess 11 or any other sailing yacht), we hope this helps highlight some of the smaller things worth looking out for!
Watch to see what made the list!
