Seawind Catamarans / Seawind 1160 Resort
The Seawind 1160 Resort is a purpose-built day-charter catamaran, a commercial version of the proven 1160 hull engineered for operators who need high passenger capacity, low running costs and all-day reliability. In place of the cruising boat’s cabins it carries an open, high-capacity deck and a simplified interior optimised for guest flow, meeting commercial survey limits of 30-plus passengers and configured for up to 43 guests with two crew. Twin Yamaha 25-horsepower outboards keep servicing simple, reduce hull drag and improve manoeuvrability in tight marinas, while a single-helm layout lets a minimal crew run the boat and focus on guests. Durable composite construction and easy-clean finishes are built for daily use, and the trifold door and 360-degree deck visibility give passengers a level, open experience on the water. For a charter operator or resort looking for a dependable, efficient platform, the 1160 Resort is a turn-key commercial catamaran from a yard with four decades of multihull expertise.

The 1160 Resort is engineered around passenger numbers. By replacing cruising accommodation with an open, high-capacity deck, it meets commercial survey limits of 30-plus passengers and is configured for up to 43 guests with two crew. The open floor plan gives 360-degree visibility and a trifold door provides a level, step-free transition for passengers boarding and moving about. Durable composite construction and easy-clean finishes are specified for the wear of daily charter work, and the simplified systems keep maintenance and downtime low. For an operator the result is a boat that carries a profitable guest load, survives hard commercial use and presents well to paying passengers day after day.
The Resort is driven by twin Yamaha 25-horsepower outboards rather than inboard diesels, a deliberate commercial choice. Outboards are quick to service or swap, keep the hulls clean and drag-free, and sharpen low-speed handling when berthing in crowded marinas. Fuel capacity of 182 litres suits day operations with easy refuelling between charters. With a light 7-tonne displacement on the efficient 1160 hull, the boat moves well under power and sail alike, and the single-helm layout keeps control simple for a small crew. The emphasis throughout is on running economy and uptime, the metrics that matter to a charter business rather than a private owner.
For passengers the Resort is built around open-air space and easy movement. The deck layout prioritises seating, shade and 360-degree views over private cabins, and the signature trifold door opens the saloon into the cockpit for a single connected space. A hull galley supports food and drink service, and the level floors and wide access points make the boat comfortable for guests of all ages and mobilities. Stable catamaran geometry keeps motion gentle at anchor and underway, which matters for day-trippers and sightseeing charters. The whole boat is configured to show well and keep a full complement of guests comfortable, safe and entertained on the water.
The 1160 Resort is built in robust composite construction on the established 1160 platform, with finishes chosen for durability and easy cleaning under constant use. Length overall is 11.6 metres on a 6.5-metre beam, with a shallow 1.1-metre draft that opens beaches and shallow anchorages for guest excursions. Fresh water capacity of 410 litres supports a full day of guest service. A typical build time of around four months, depending on production cycles, lets operators plan around their season. As a current-production commercial model it carries factory support and the backing of Seawind’s worldwide network, which matters for a business that cannot afford long downtime.
The 1160 Resort is aimed squarely at charter operators, resorts and tour businesses rather than private cruisers, and it is specified accordingly: high capacity, low maintenance, easy single-crew operation and a presentation that satisfies paying guests. Indicative new pricing sits around the high 300,000-euro mark depending on survey fit-out, equipment and exchange rates, a figure that reads as a capital investment against daily charter revenue rather than a lifestyle purchase. Seawind’s four decades of multihull production and its global commissioning and support network underpin the platform. For an operator who wants a dependable, efficient and proven day-charter catamaran ready to carry a profitable guest load, the 1160 Resort is a turn-key commercial solution.
