Founded in 1973 by Nick Hake, Seaward sailboats have been built for more than 40 years and remain at the forefront of the industry. Seaward was created on the principles of solid construction melded to modern design and technology, strong customer relationships and innovation that continually betters the sailing and boat owning experience. Today, the Seawards are being built in Largo, Florida at the Island Packet Yacht facility. The factory team consists of a group of committed craftsmen with an average of 24 years of service per employee. We are extremely proud of the boats we build and believe they are the best that money can buy.
