S/V Kweli is a Hartman Cove Haulout, Grenada based 2023 Excess 14 For Sale By Broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.
Kweli is a 2023 Excess 14, the premium 3-cabin owner’s version, built by Groupe Beneteau—one of the most trusted names in yacht 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, a forward-set rig, and sleek, efficient hulls that deliver the lively feel monohull sailors appreciate.
Kweli is hull #6 and has benefited from the full suite of factory post-production upgrades carried out by dedicated Excess/Beneteau teams. These teams visited the boat in Portsmouth, the Canary Islands, and Trinidad to bring early Excess 14s up to the latest standard, protecting both safety and long-term value.
Inside, the 3-cabin layout provides a true owner’s suite with a central bathroom and generous storage, ideal for extended cruising. She’s also fully loaded with nearly every factory option plus major upgrades, making her genuinely turnkey and highly autonomous for bluewater sailing.
Her owners, experienced long-distance cruisers with multiple ocean crossings behind them, selected Kweli for serious offshore use and have already proven her with a safe, comfortable Atlantic passage. They are now finishing their cruise and plan to sell Kweli by the end of this season and are open to earlier offers.
