2024 Excess Catamarans EXCESS 14 — Bretagne SUD

Excess is what happened when the Beneteau group asked VPLP to draw a charter-size catamaran for people who actually like sailing — lower booms, more sail, helms aft where the feedback lives. The 14 is the range's flagship argument, and this is a 2024 boat lying in south Brittany, asking $538,920 through A&C Yacht Brokers: a nearly-new example of the youngest brand in the segment, at the price the established names ask for older hulls.

The comparison shops itself: our shelf holds a 2024 sistership at Marseille asking $699,840 — $160,000 more for the same boat and year, which makes this Brittany ask the sharpest Excess figure we track. Against the neighbors, the 2022 Lagoon 42 asks $549,000 with two fewer feet and two more years on the clock. The Excess premium was supposed to run the other way.

A 2024 boat is a warranty-and-records purchase: commissioning file, first-service stamps, and why she's for sale this young — a question with ordinary answers (a plan changed) that still deserves asking. Her class assembles on the charter-size shelf; the ocean-rated cousins on the bluewater shelf.
