The Elyvian Spirit is a 2026 Excess 11 catamaran based in Taranto, Italy—a gateway to the Ionian Sea's most unspoiled waters. This modern 11-metre catamaran combines the stability and space of a twin-hulled design with the refined comfort needed for a week of genuine exploration. With five cabins and berths for ten guests, she welcomes families, groups of friends, or multiple couples seeking a shared adventure without compromise on privacy or comfort.

Life aboard unfolds across generous deck space, where the bimini provides essential shade during sun-soaked afternoons, and cushioned cockpit seating invites long conversations over morning coffee or evening aperitifs. Below deck, the galley is well-appointed with a full refrigerator, making it simple to stock local produce from Taranto's markets and prepare meals that rival any shoreside restaurant. Two heads with electric toilets ensure smooth logistics for a larger party, while the voltage converter allows you to charge devices seamlessly. Navigation is intuitive thanks to the autopilot and electric winches, which mean less physical strain and more time enjoying the moment—whether you're gliding toward the Tremiti Islands or anchoring in crystalline bays.

Typical weeks from Taranto venture south toward the Salento Peninsula's dramatic limestone cliffs, or north into the archipelago's hidden coves where fishermen still work traditional grounds. The Ionian's moderate winds and sheltered anchorages suit both seasoned sailors and those new to bareboat chartering. Mornings might begin with a swim in water so clear you see the seabed; afternoons drift between exploring whitewashed villages and lazy hours at anchor. Evenings often culminate in local seafood—sea urchin pasta, grilled octopus, crisp Puglian whites—shared under stars that feel impossibly close.

The Elyvian Spirit invites you to experience the Mediterranean as it remains: unhurried, authentic, and deeply restorative.
