About Bareboat Catamaran Seawind 1160
The Seawind 1160 is a versatile three-cabin catamaran purpose-built for independent cruising across Australia's tropical waters. Her generous beam provides exceptional living space and panoramic visibility, while the innovative trifolding door system transforms the saloon and cockpit into a single vast entertaining area, vanishing overhead when stowed. This design balances the spacious layout experienced sailors expect with the comfort and security serious crews demand.
Bareboat chartering requires at least one guest with proven skippering experience on comparable vessels or a recognised coastal skipper qualification. The yacht arrives provisioned with navigational charts, safety briefing, and essential equipment including snorkelling gear, dinghy, and bimini shade. Minimal commitments run from seven nights; extended charters attract progressive discounts, rewarding those seeking immersive exploration of remote anchorages and fringing reefs.

- •Trifolding door system joins saloon and cockpit into expansive living space

The Charter Experience
Charter the Seawind through Australia's most iconic sailing grounds. The Whitsundays deliver sheltered island passages and powder-sand beaches within hours of departure, whilst the Great Barrier Reef's northern ribbons reward early-morning departures with world-class snorkelling and untroubled anchorages. Cruising guides and area briefings point the way; the catamaran's shallow draft accesses bays inaccessible to deeper-keeled vessels, opening coves where commercial traffic rarely ventures.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might begin in the Whitsundays, island-hopping through sheltered passages before venturing north toward the outer reef. Anchor at less-visited bays for dawn snorkelling and evening sundowners on deck. Return via the inner reef passages, allowing time for reef exploration and the occasional full day at a preferred anchorage as conditions and crew preference dictate.
