Salty 3 is a 2026 Excess 14 catamaran based in Port Grimaud, your gateway to the crystalline waters and hidden anchorages of the French Riviera. This 14-metre dual-hulled vessel combines the spacious comfort of four cabins with the stability and shallow-draft advantage that makes a catamaran ideal for exploring the Îles d'Hyères and the Esterel coastline. Whether you're planning a week with family, a gathering of friends, or seeking a couple's escape with room to invite others, Salty 3 accommodates up to ten guests across thoughtfully appointed quarters and four full heads, ensuring privacy and convenience throughout your voyage.

Life aboard unfolds with ease thanks to intelligent design and modern systems. The electric winches and autopilot reduce physical demand while keeping you engaged with the sailing experience, while the bimini provides welcome shade during languid afternoons at anchor. A fully equipped galley with refrigeration and a water-maker—powered by integrated solar panels—means you can provision locally and remain self-sufficient for extended cruising. The radar and radio-CD system blend safety with entertainment, and the convertible tension system supports all your personal devices. An included dinghy opens access to secluded beaches and waterfront villages unreachable by larger vessels.

A typical week sees you departing Port Grimaud toward the Îles d'Hyères, where you'll anchor in crystalline bays shared only with other sailing vessels and the occasional fisherman. Days dissolve into swimming, snorkeling, and exploring medieval villages perched above the water. The catamaran's twin hulls provide a stable platform for sunbathing and easy boarding from the water, while evening meals prepared in the galley taste better when shared on deck as the sun melts into the horizon. Lazy bag and manageable sail plan mean even less experienced sailors feel confident at the helm. Picture yourself anchored off Île de Porquerolles as the light turns golden, local rosé chilling in the fridge, the gentle lap of water against the hulls the only sound between courses—this is the rhythm of a week aboard Salty 3.
