2026 Seawind 1160XL

General

The 1160XL is the latest version of the famed Seawind 1160 of which over 200 have been built and sailing all over the world. The SW1160 has hundreds of ocean crossings and a number of world circumnavigations to its credit. The new model SW1160XL retains all the sailing features and offshore capabilities of the 1160 but has been redesigned with a modern exterior, more internal volume and greater cruising comfort.

The new XL version will retain the simplicity and low maintenance features of the SW1160 and offer a true blue-water, ocean capable catamaran at an exceptional entry level price. Perfect for weekend cruising and perfect to meet your serious offshore cruising dream!

The overall finish of the Seawind 1160 XL will be consistent with a luxury world- standard yacht of this size and type. Only very high quality equipment is used throughout.
The overall aim is for a level of construction, workmanship, equipment, fitout and style that surpasses any other comparable catamaran available in the market at this price range.
