2024 Excess 14

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.
