2024 Excess 14 Catamaran — Sleek Performance Meets Refined Cruising Comfort
The 2024 Excess 14 Catamaran blends speed, style, and modern ease. Designed by VPLP with Jean-Marc Piaton, this 45’9” multihull shows crisp lines and a forward-set rig for balance and power. In addition, twin helm stations give superb visibility and a direct feel at the wheel. With a CE Category A ocean rating and a 23.3 SA/D ratio, she inspires confidence for long passages at sea.
Under sail, the square-top mainsail and 118 m² upwind area deliver lively acceleration. Moreover, electric winches and a meticulously designed deck layout support fast, tidy maneuvers. As a result, the Excess 14 rewards an active helm while staying composed and quiet.
Power comes from twin 45 HP Yanmar diesels, while a 6 kW generator supports all onboard systems. In addition, highend electrics and air conditioning ensure smooth, efficient cruising. Systems access is clean and logical, which makes ownership both practical and enjoyable.
The saloon feels bright and social, with panoramic windows that frame every view. Furthermore, the central galley sits at the heart of the boat, keeping meals and conversation connected. An integrated nav station keeps the skipper in touch with the crew at all times, which enhances both safety and comfort on passage.
Four queen cabins each feature a private ensuite with electric WC, giving every guest a personal retreat. In addition, crew berths in both bows add useful flexibility for longer trips. This layout balances space and privacy perfectly for family cruising or charter.
Smart domestic touches also make life aboard easy. For instance, dual fridges, cabin fans, and a Fusion audio system set the mood inside, while a cockpit fridge keeps refreshments close at hand. In addition, a composite helm station, sturdy davits, and cockpit lighting extend living space outdoors and simplify tender handling.
This 2024 Excess 14 Catamaran is offered through Williams & Smithells International, a trusted name in yacht brokerage. Therefore, stepping aboard is the start of your next sailing chapter with confidence.
