World Cat 235TE: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The World Cat 235 TE (Tournament Edition) is a 22-foot, 7-inch catamaran designed with features tailored for serious anglers while maintaining comfort for family outings. This model includes enhancements such as higher gunnels and increased fuel capacity, making it well-suited for extended fishing excursions. With a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a shallow draft of 9 inches, the boat balances stability and accessibility in various water conditions.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The 235 TE boasts a spacious front deck measuring 55 by 67 inches, benefiting from the catamaran’s wide beam carried far forward. The bow features a 56-inch wide bench seat with upgraded diamond-stitched upholstery and World Cat embroidery, complemented by opposing flip-down benches port and starboard to create additional seating. Practical elements such as six-inch pop-up cleats, rod holder and cupholder combinations, and a convenient windlass system controlled from the helm enhance usability. Storage is ample with dry storage compartments beneath the deck and well-finished hatch undersides, all designed with water drainage and sealing in mind. The centerline swim platform includes a heavy-duty dive ladder with a magnetic locking mechanism, providing easy and secure water access.
Interior and Helm Station
The center console houses a plumbed head, offering adequate comfort despite the limited headroom typical of catamarans. The helm is equipped with a 39-inch wide seat featuring twin bolsters and high-quality diamond-stitched upholstery. The helm layout is thoughtfully arranged with a Garmin multifunction display, Yamaha engine screens, J audio system controls, VHF radio, and push-button switches all within easy reach. The T-top includes integrated grab rails, LED lighting, and rod holders, while side vents improve ventilation in the console area. Additional storage includes a slide-out Yeti cooler on wheels that doubles as a rear-facing seat, insulated fish boxes under the bolsters, and multiple rod holders distributed throughout the cockpit and helm area.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin Yamaha 150-horsepower engines, the 235 TE delivers responsive and robust performance. The boat accelerates quickly, reaching 10 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds, 20 miles per hour in 5.1 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 7.1 seconds. Its top speed is approximately 48.5 miles per hour at 5,600 RPM, while the optimal cruising speed is around 23 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM, achieving 2.9 miles per gallon and a range of roughly 306 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. The twin-engine setup also provides redundancy; the boat can plane and maintain speeds above 20 miles per hour on a single engine if necessary. Handling is smooth and controlled, with the boat banking comfortably during hard turns without excessive grab or instability. The electronic steering and controls contribute to ease of maneuvering and overall driver confidence.
Fishing and Utility Features
The Tournament Edition emphasizes fishing functionality with twin 60-gallon fuel tanks for extended range, multiple rod holders throughout the boat, and insulated 150-quart fish boxes. The cockpit measures 83 inches wide and 37 inches deep, providing ample space for anglers. Freshwater and raw water washdown stations are conveniently located at the transom to facilitate cleaning after fishing activities. Additional tackle storage lockers and a 30-gallon live well support practical fishing needs. The boat is equipped with three batteries and dual bilge pumps, enhancing reliability and safety during extended outings.
Conclusion
The World Cat 235 TE Tournament Edition successfully combines the rugged features required by serious fishermen with thoughtful comfort and convenience for family use. Its solid construction, spacious layout, and powerful twin engines deliver confident performance in a variety of conditions. The boat’s design details, including ample storage, ergonomic helm, and easy water access, reflect a high level of craftsmanship and user-focused innovation. Overall, the 235 TE stands out as a versatile and capable catamaran for anglers seeking both performance and comfort.
