excess 14

DESCRIPTION

The Excess 14 represents the purest expression of the Excess Catamarans philosophy: a cruising yacht designed to deliver more sailing enjoyment, more sensation, and more personality without sacrificing the comfort and practicality expected from a modern cruising catamaran.

With sleek lines and a playful, performance-oriented character, the Excess 14 is the result of a dedicated design process focused on challenging conventional thinking. Its innovative architecture reflects a willingness to explore new solutions and rethink how a production catamaran can combine performance, comfort, and livability.

One of the most distinctive aspects of the Excess 14 is its unconventional approach to interior design. The boat introduces layouts unlike those traditionally found in the cruising catamaran market, with unique configurations available for both owner-focused cruising and charter use. These innovative arrangements create new possibilities for privacy, social spaces, and life aboard while maintaining the practical features sailors expect from a capable cruising yacht.

The result is a catamaran that feels different from the moment you step aboard. The Excess 14 is designed for sailors who want the space and stability of a multihull but still value the excitement, responsiveness, and connection to the water that make sailing so rewarding. Fun, modern, and thoughtfully unconventional, the Excess 14 captures the spirit of the Excess brand while offering a fresh perspective on performance cruising. It is a cruising catamaran built to deliver more sensations while providing everything needed for comfortable adventures on the water.

ADDITIONAL INFO

The Excess 14 is a performance cruising catamaran designed for sailors who want the excitement and responsiveness of a performance monohull combined with the space, stability, and comfort of a modern multihull. Introduced in 2022, the Excess 14 represents a significant evolution of the Excess Catamarans concept, bringing advanced hull design and a performance-oriented sailing experience to a production cruising catamaran.

At the heart of the Excess 14 is its innovative asymmetrical hull design. Rounded outer hull surfaces, flatter inner hull sides, inverted bows, and immersed transoms work together to reduce drag, improve maneuverability, and enhance the boat’s sailing characteristics. Combined with a performance-focused rig, the result is a responsive and efficient cruising catamaran designed to perform well both upwind and downwind.

The Excess 14 offers an impressive combination of performance and livability. With a 45’9” overall length, a 25’9” beam, and a 4’10” draft, the boat provides a spacious platform for comfortable cruising while retaining the shallow-water advantages of a catamaran. Its CE Category A Offshore rating makes it well suited for Chesapeake Bay sailing, coastal cruising, and future offshore adventures to destinations such as the Bahamas and Caribbean.

Twin aft helm stations provide excellent visibility and a direct connection to the sailing experience. Clear salon windows, open sightlines, and textile steering systems provide responsive feedback and allow the helmsman to remain connected to the sails, wind, and surrounding water. The optional PULSE LINE package adds a taller rig, square-top mainsail, and increased sail area for sailors seeking enhanced performance.

Inside, the Excess 14 offers bright, contemporary accommodations with three- or four-cabin layouts. The owner’s version includes a private master hull with an ensuite head, separate shower, and dressing area, while the four-cabin layout provides additional flexibility for families and guests. The salon, galley, and spacious cockpit connect to create a comfortable indoor-outdoor living environment.
