Description
Kweli is a 2023 Excess 14, the premium 3-cabin owners version, built by Groupe Beneteau—one of the most trusted names in monohull construction—and designed by VPLP for sailors who prioritize real performance and offshore capability. This is not a charter spec cat; it’s a higher-quality, owner-focused design with a low boom, aft helms, direct cable steering, forward-set rig, and sleek, efficient hulls that deliver the lively feel monohull sailors appreciate.
Her owners chose Kweli after years of serious long-distance cruising, including a many ocean crossings on previous boats, and she has already proven herself again with a safe, comfortable Atlantic passage. Inside, the 3-cabin layout gives a true owner’s suite with central bathroom and generous storage—ideal for extended cruising. She’s also fully loaded with nearly every factory option plus major upgrades: a huge solar array, lithium power, arch, watermaker, upgraded sails, tender package, and more—making her fully autonomous and turnkey for bluewater sailing. The owners are finishing their cruise and plan to sell Kweli by the end of this season - open to earlier offers.

Additional Information
Accommodation
This Excess 14 is the top-of-class Owners Version, featuring a rare and highly desirable layout. The entire starboard hull is dedicated to the master suite, with a major improvement over typical owners’ layouts: instead of allocating excessive space to a large, underutilized shower stall, the forward starboard cabin has been redesigned as a spacious walk-in storage closet—convertible to a cabin with two single bunks, an invaluable upgrade for serious cruisers.
The port hull includes forward and aft queen berths, each with ensuite heads and separate shower stalls. The bridgedeck saloon offers comfortable seating for dining or lounging both inside and out, while the large galley provides ample counter space for elaborate cooking as well as convenient everyday meal prep underway.
Throughout the vessel, thoughtful touches and quality craftsmanship are evident, setting her apart from the typical “charter cats” on the market. Each cabin is well-ventilated with hatches, ports, and fans, ensuring comfort during tropical cruising.
