Plot Twist Boat | 38' Seawind 2005

Plot Twist is a thoughtfully upgraded 2005 Seawind 1160 Deluxe catamaran for sale, configured as a 3-cabin / 2-head owner’s version. She has been actively cruised throughout the Bahamas and continuously improved with a clear focus: creating a highly capable, energy-independent cruising platform rather than a dockside showpiece. With an air draft of 60' she is also ICW friendly. 

The Seawind 1160 Deluxe layout is known for its practical use of space, excellent ventilation, and seamless indoor-outdoor living via the signature tri-fold saloon doors. Plot Twist stands out as a rare example of a Seawind 1160 that has been systematically upgraded for serious cruising. With a robust lithium/solar energy system, watermaker, modern electronics, and a deep inventory of cruising gear, she offers a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a ready-to-go platform for immediate adventure. 

This is a true turn-key cruising platform, ready to depart immediately and continue cruising with modern systems, exceptional energy independence, and a deep inventory of cruising equipment offering reliability, self-sufficiency, and ease of operation.

The Seawind 1160 creatively blends key Seawind concepts to create an open-plan design that successfully combines the huge living space and allround visibility, quality fitout with safety & security in mind 

The result is a proven, turnkey cruising catamaran equipped for immediate liveaboard or extended offshore adventure, with modern systems, robust energy generation, and an extensive inventory of cruising gear.
