From Genoa in Italy to Annapolis in the USA and Bosphorus in Türkiye, we welcomed hundreds of visitors, showcased our Seawind catamarans and enjoyed a month full of sailing, inspiring conversations and reunions with old friends.
A big thank you to our teams, dealers and everyone who stopped by to share their sailing dreams and future plans!
The Genoa International Boat Show marked an important stop in Seawind's European boat show season. The Seawind 1170 attracted strong interest from visitors who are looking for a balance of sailing performance, comfort, and practical design. The show provided an excellent opportunity to connect with prospective owners and further strengthen Seawind's presence in the European market.
The Annapolis Sailboat Show was one of the highlights of our international boat show season, featuring three Seawind models: the 1160XL, 1170, and 1370. With strong interest from the American sailing community, the event brought together prospective buyers, existing owners, dealers, and industry professionals. Our Owners Event and media gathering were wonderful occasions to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new friends, and enjoy the Seawind community.
The Bosphorus Boat Show in Istanbul brought the Seawind 1170 into the spotlight once again, introducing its award-winning design to the Turkish sailing community. As interest in cruising catamarans continues to grow in the region, the event offered an opportunity to showcase Seawind's sailing philosophy, onboard comfort, and versatility. It also reinforced the brand's connection to Türkiye, where the Seawind 1170 is proudly manufactured.

Our Founder and CEO, Richard Ward, and his wife, Kerry Fahey, sailed the Seawind 1160XL nearly 500 nautical miles from Newport to Annapolis, experiencing everything from 4.5-metre waves and 35-knot winds to gentle breezes and calm seas.
They reached impressive speeds and put the 1160XL through a wide range of conditions. But most importantly, they enjoyed every moment of this remarkable passage!
