⛵ Seawind 1170: A Sport Catamaran at the Genoa Boat Show

Seawind 1170: A Sport Catamaran at the Genoa Boat Show

Genoa Boat Show – The Beating Heart of the Mediterranean

Every September, Genoa becomes the capital of the sea with the Genoa International Boat Show (Salone Nautico di Genova), one of the most important maritime events in the Mediterranean. Yards, shipowners, and enthusiasts gather to celebrate innovation and sailing lifestyle.

Thanks to an invitation from the Seawind team, who stayed at No Vacancy Genova – Seaside Apartments, we had the chance to step aboard the brand-new Seawind 1170 catamaran.

Seawind 1170 – Different from Lagoon or Bali

If popular catamarans like Lagoon or Bali are often considered floating homes, with spacious lounges and comfort-first layouts, the Seawind 1170 represents a different philosophy: performance and sailing spirit.

• Length: 11.70 m

• Beam: 6+ m

• Dual helms for maximum control

• Optimized sails that can be handled by just 1–2 crew

• Safety rating: Category A – Ocean (ocean-crossing capability)

This makes the Seawind 1170 a perfect choice for families and couples who love the sea and want to experience true sailing, not just living on water.

Minimal Sport – Living with the Sea

Inside, the Seawind 1170 follows a “minimal sport” style: lightweight, functional, and performance-oriented.It doesn’t try to be a floating apartment. Instead, it offers exactly what a sailor needs for long passages — efficient space, practical galley, and comfort without excess weight.

If Lagoon is about comfort, Seawind is about connection with the wind and ocean.

A Global Expansion – From Vietnam to Turkey

Most Seawind catamarans are built in Vietnam, but the 1170 is assembled in Turkey to serve the European market more efficiently.This marks a strategic step in Seawind’s global expansion and shows how the brand is adapting to European sailors’ needs.

Price & Segment

With a base price of around €435,000, the Seawind 1170 is positioned in the sport catamaran segment – a boat built not only to stay on but to live with the sea.
