Description
Step aboard this 2024 Excess 14—a modern, performance-minded cruising catamaran that feels purpose-built for owners who actually want to sail, not just float. Conceived by VPLP Design with interiors by Nauta Design, the Excess 14 takes the brand’s DNA—lightweight structure, fine entries, and those signature twin aft helms—and turns it into a platform that is lively on the wind, precise on the helm, and still genuinely comfortable for long-term living.
This particular yacht has been outfitted with a clear mission: off-grid autonomy, effortless handling, and true turnkey readiness. The Tall Rig “Pulse Line” sail plan and sailing-focused deck layout keep the boat quick and engaging, while four electric Harken winches and smart line management make short-handed sailing realistic—whether you’re tacking up a channel, sending the Code Zero, or rolling into an anchorage at the end of a big day.
At anchor, she reads like a checklist of the upgrades owners wish they’d done earlier: a high-capacity Victron lithium system (990 Ah), over 2000 W of solar, and full Victron management with monitoring at the nav station—built to keep systems humming without living on a genset (because there isn’t one). Add Starlink Gen 2, a 50 LPH watermaker, washer/dryer, and air conditioning throughout (multiple zones), and you’ve got a cat that supports real independence—remote work, extended cruising, or simply staying put in comfort when you find “the” anchorage.
Inside, the tone is warm and modern—ash timber finishes, bright saloon sightlines, excellent ventilation, and a layout that flexes with how you cruise. The three-cabin, three-head arrangement is designed for privacy and livability, with dry-bath style heads and walk-in showers, while the owner’s area is especially clever: a true master cabin for everyday comfort, plus a wardrobe/dressing space that can convert into extra berths when friends or family join the adventure. This is a boat that can be quiet and private for two, or easily expand for a full crew when the itinerary demands it.
She’s currently lying in Sint Maarten, staged perfectly for an owner who wants immediate access to the best of the Caribbean—or a proven launch point for bigger horizons. If you’ve been searching for a late-model catamaran that blends sailing feel, serious systems, and liveaboard practicality—without needing a refit spreadsheet before you even cast off—this Excess 14 delivers a rare combination: modern performance, real autonomy, and true “ready to go” condition.
