Excess Catamarans Releases Trailer for 3000 MILES Documentary on Family's Transatlantic Preparation

Excess Catamarans has posted the trailer for 3000 MILES and will screen the teaser in 50 cinemas across France as part of the Sailorz Film Festival between February and April 2026, with the full documentary due on Excess platforms in April. If you want to catch the teaser on the big screen, plan for festival dates and watch Excess’ social channels for screening details.

Excess positions 3000 MILES as the brand’s first branded documentary, stating: “With 3000 MILES, Excess releases its very first documentary and takes you inside an extraordinary adventure: a transatlantic crossing experienced from the inside, in real conditions, as a couple and as a family.” The film intentionally focuses on preparation rather than the passage itself, with Excess noting the project “dives behind the scenes: boat preparation, learning and training, provisioning management, technical adjustments, fears, doubts… and the excitement of departure.”

The documentary follows two distinct crews preparing for their first transatlantic crossing while taking part in the ARC and ARC+ rallies. One subject is identified as “Caroline & Kalle, a Dutch couple sailing with their children aboard an Excess 11,” and the other as “Caroline & Jonno, a French–South African couple at the helm of an Excess 14.” Excess highlights family dynamics and transformation, saying “On board, Excess catamarans become more than boats. They turn into living spaces for connection, transmission and personal growth.”

Filming took place “for several months,” embedding the camera in everyday prep: “Prepare the boat. Learn. Train. Anticipate. Doubt sometimes. Manage supplies, technical challenges, life on board, fears and excitement,” a summary that outlines the hands-on scenes viewers should expect. Excess and related coverage repeat the phrase “Atlantic mode is on” and present “Learn. Share. Live.” as thematic touchstones that frame the film’s narrative arc from doubt to readiness.

Distribution details are specific: the official teaser was posted on the EXCESS Catamarans YouTube channel on Feb 10, 2026; the channel had 2,360 subscribers at the time the teaser capture showed 15 likes and 520 views. Excess’ Facebook posts promoting the project appear with timestamps (a Feb 11 post and a Jan 26 reel) and a displayed engagement line reading “149 · 1 comment · 47K views” in the captured snippet. Excess also warns site visitors that “In order to view this video, first you have to authorize the use of functional cookies.”

Practical next steps: mark April on your calendar for the full release across Excess platforms, and watch for the Sailorz Film Festival program to identify which of the 50 cinemas will screen the teaser. Excess’ rollout, social posts, a Feb 10 YouTube trailer, and a nationwide 50-cinema teaser push, makes 3000 MILES a rare manufacturer-backed film focused on family passagemaking rather than pure seamanship spectacle.
