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, inspiring confidence in every owner.

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.

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.”
