Te Ava is an owner’s version Excess 11, fully equipped and already papeetized (local 7% import tax paid) — a major advantage for cruising freely in Polynesia or offering the boat for charter.
This catamaran has been prepared for blue-water cruising, featuring a “Pulse Line” performance rig, premium sails, full energy and water autonomy, and numerous comfort upgrades.
A unique configuration includes a converted forward peak cabin, ideal for a skipper or an occasional guest.
