Legendary DNA, Expanded

The 1160XL re-imagines Seawind’s most successful model, offering more space and more light without compromising its rugged blue-water capability.

Tri-Fold Saloon Doors & Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living

The large three-section tri-fold door opens the saloon to the cockpit, creating a unified entertainment and living space for any sailing scenario.

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.

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.

Twin Protected Helms & 360° Visibility

Dual helm stations provide full control while keeping you connected to the cockpit and guests. With 800 mm lifelines and wider side-decks, safety at sea is elevated.

Owner's voice

1160XL Experience

“We’ve sailed over 30,000 nautical miles on our Seawind 1160, across the Pacific to Australia and New Zealand, and she’s been our full-time home for years. The boat has given us more than adventure — it’s given us health, happiness, and a life we never imagined possible.”

Eric Sellix & Pam Sellix

“My wife and I have owned and sailed four Seawinds over the last 15 years, culminating in our current boat - an 1160 Lite delivered in June 2022. We’ve had huge fun racing and cruising the boat up and down the coast of New South Wales and so you can imagine how keen we were to take up the offer to check out the new 1160XL with a cruise from Seawind‘s new Thailand charter operation. And we found that, while upgrades can sometimes be just marketing hype and a price rise, this one was the real deal. The comfort and usability of the boat has been enhanced by a significant increase in internal volume, little touches like the extended scoops, extra volume forward and flat decks. And all this has been achieved without a big increase in weight but with a larger sail plan which preserves one of the 1160 series great attributes – it’s sailing performance. If you are looking for a new boat, then you should definitely have a look at the new 1160XL.”
