Seawind 1160XL:
A Proven Legend for First-Time Owners and Families
The Seawind 1160XL is the refined evolution of our most iconic model, first released in April 2025, specifically targeted at first-time catamaran owners and families who want a proven offshore pedigree design. Now fully ISO Category A certified, this cruiser includes over 30 design upgrades, ranging from carbon front beam to a reconfigured hull shape co-designed with Stuart Bloomfield. It is the definitive choice for those who value a proven track record and want a boat that is as practical for a weekend escape as it is for a multi-year coastal odyssey.
ENHANCED SECURITY FOR FAMILY CRUISING
The 1160XL features an optimized hull shape with increased beam and raised freeboard, providing the stability and load-carrying capacity required for comfortable family life. The inclusion of 800mm lifelines and wider side decks marks a significant step up in safety, ensuring secure movement for all ages even in heavy swells. Despite the focus on comfort, the XL maintains its performance heritage with a modern sail plan and advanced laminate schedule. Whether choosing outboard or inboard engines, the 1160XL remains the most maneuverable and predictable boat in its category.
THE SIGNATURE TRANSITION FOR SOCIAL SAILORS
The signature feature of the 1160XL is the practical trifold door, which transforms the boat in seconds from a secure offshore cruiser into an expansive, open-air pavilion. The redesigned saloon features larger, more upright windows that flood the interior with natural light and provide a constant connection to the sea. Below deck, the increased hull width allows for wider cabin doors and level flooring, creating a spacious environment that feels like a much larger vessel. Every detail has been refined based on decades of owner feedback, resulting in a boat that is as practical for a weekend escape as it is for a multi-year global odyssey.
Built for Battle-Sea & Weekend Cruising
Constructed to ISO Category A offshore standards, the 1160XL retains the simplicity and low-maintenance heritage of its predecessor while stepping up for serious passages.
Significantly More Internal Volume
With a beam of 6.6 m and raised freeboard, the 1160XL delivers generous headroom (up to 6’5”), wider cabin doors and level floors throughout the hulls — enhancing comfort afloat.
