On the Catamaran Excess 12, we installed new PlasDECK synthetic teak in an elegant grey color with white caulking. This modern decking stays cool under the sun, requires no maintenance, and adds a luxurious look to any deck.

Catamaran Excess 12, produced by the renowned French Groupe Beneteau, is known for its modern design, spacious interior, and outstanding comfort. For such a yacht, the choice of deck material is crucial. That’s why this model was fitted with PlasDECK synthetic teak – grey with white caulking – a combination that delivers a contemporary style along with excellent technical advantages.

The deck does not heat up even under strong summer sun and requires no special care, making it perfect for owners who want to enjoy sailing without the hassle of upkeep.

  • Low maintenance – no sanding, oiling, or varnishing needed.
