2024 Excess 14 Catamaran | Sleek Performance Meets Refined Cruising Comfort

Experience the perfect balance of sailing exhilaration and modern luxury aboard the 2024 Excess 14, a cutting-edge catamaran designed by VPLP in collaboration with Jean‑Marc Piaton. This 45’9” multihull combines dynamic lines with smart functionality, featuring a forward-set rig, powerful square-top mainsail, and twin helm stations that deliver a lively, intuitive sailing experience. With CE Category A ocean rating and a 23.3 SA/D ratio, she’s built for adventurous cruising with confidence and style.

Powered by twin 45 HP Yanmar diesel engines and equipped with a 6kW generator, air conditioning, and an upgraded electrical system, the Excess 14 ensures smooth sailing and onboard comfort. Her upwind sail area of 118 m², secondary electric winches, and aluminum spars contribute to responsive handling and excellent speed potential—cruising comfortably at 7 knots and topping out near 9. Inside, the open-plan saloon with panoramic windows, central galley, and integrated nav station delivers a bright, social atmosphere ideal for extended voyages.

Accommodations include four queen cabins, each with private ensuite heads and electric WCs, plus crew berths in both bows. Smart domestic features like dual fridges, fans, Fusion audio system, and a cockpit fridge enhance onboard living, while the composite helm station, davits, and cockpit lighting add outdoor versatility. Currently available through Crusader Yacht Sales, a trusted name in multihull expertise, this 2024 Excess 14 is ready to launch your next sailing chapter. Enquire now to schedule a viewing.
