World Cat 250 DC: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The WorldCat 250DC power catamaran, built in Tarboro, North Carolina, offers a versatile platform that balances family enjoyment with serious fishing capabilities. This semi-displacement hull design uniquely integrates the advantages of both full displacement and planing hulls, providing exceptional lift, stability, load capacity, and maneuverability uncommon in power catamarans. Certified as a yacht, the 250DC is thoughtfully equipped with numerous fishing-oriented features and conveniences.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

Measuring 26 feet in length overall with an 8 foot 6 inch beam, the 250DC presents a spacious and functional deck layout. The bow area is designed for versatility, accommodating family relaxation with ample seating and options for dining or sunbathing by adjusting or removing the central table. The port side of the bow includes a fish box, while the starboard side offers storage and rod racks. Additional practical features include an optional windlass, line and fender lockers on either side, and lockable changing quarters equipped with either a port-a-potty or an optional electric marine head. The cockpit is designed for fishing efficiency, featuring a 31-gallon live well and a 300-quart fish box integrated into the stern wall, complemented by thick combing pads and generous toe kick space for comfort. Removable side bench seats provide flexible seating arrangements, and power outlets are conveniently located in each corner to support trolling gear. Optional upgrades such as a T-top with electronics box, courtesy and running lights, rocket launcher-style rod holders, spreader lights, and taco outriggers enhance functionality and protection. A swim platform with heavy-duty aluminum rails and a flip-over ladder is also available for added convenience.

Helm and Control Station

The helm station is well-appointed with Honda digital gauges, a Clarion stereo remote, and a windlass switch, all housed beneath an optional T-top that provides overhead electronics storage and lighting. Hydraulic steering is standard, with an option for power assist to improve handling ease. The companion side features Garlick captain's chairs or optional back-to-back seating. Additional amenities include a power vent behind the windshield, raw water connection, fresh water hand shower, and ample storage with access to rod storage and electrical connections. The design allows for customization with removable side bench seats to optimize cockpit space for fishing or socializing.

Power and Performance

The 250DC is powered by twin Honda BF150 four-stroke outboard engines, each producing 150 horsepower. These engines incorporate a variable intake system that adjusts air metering to optimize performance from initial plane to cruising speeds. A belt-driven 44-amp next-generation alternator ensures efficient battery charging, delivering 28 amps output even at 1000 RPM. Maintenance is simplified with a spindle and oil filter integrated into the water-cooled oil system, requiring oil changes only once per season or every 100 hours. The vessel weighs approximately 6,400 pounds and carries 200 gallons of fuel across dual 100-gallon tanks. On the water, the 250DC delivers a comfortable wave-slicing ride with tight, flat turns. It cruises efficiently at about 20.3 miles per hour at 4,000 RPM, providing a range near 433 miles. During testing, the boat reached a top speed of 42.7 miles per hour while maintaining a smooth and dry ride.

Conclusion

The WorldCat 250DC power catamaran successfully combines family-friendly design with robust fishing functionality. Its innovative hull design, spacious and adaptable deck layout, and reliable twin Honda outboards offer a balanced boating experience that meets the demands of both recreational cruising and serious offshore fishing. With thoughtful features and optional enhancements, the 250DC stands out as a versatile and capable vessel well suited for a variety of boating pursuits.
