World Cat 280DC-x: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The WorldCat 280 DCX is a dual console catamaran that aims to set a new standard by blending luxury, family-friendly features, and a smooth ride. Measuring 27 feet 6 inches in length overall with a 9 foot 2 inch beam and a shallow 14-inch draft with gear up, this boat is designed for versatility, accommodating both recreational cruising and fishing activities.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The bow area is designed as a comfortable gathering spot for families, featuring pit group-style seating with combing all around. The seating can be oriented fore or aft, suitable for both underway cruising and stationary relaxation at a sandbar. Optional accessories include a cocktail table that converts the space into a picnic area and a sun pad insert for lounging. Practical details such as stainless steel grab rails, storage compartments beneath the combing, stainless steel cup holders, and a USB port for device charging enhance usability. The starboard helm houses a step-in bow storage closet with ample dry storage and a bucket holder, ideal for extended trips or island hopping. Moving aft, the windshield and wind jammer can be closed to protect occupants from wind and rain. To port, a stand-up marine head with a porcelain bowl, stainless steel sink, and Corian countertop adds convenience. The cockpit features a double-wide seat with a four-position backrest allowing for back-to-back seating, aft-facing lounging, or conversion into a daybed. Additional amenities include stainless steel cup holders, USB ports, and an optional removable seagrass flooring that provides a cooler surface over the anti-skid deck. The starboard side behind the helm includes a cockpit galley with a stainless steel sink, pull-out cooler, and options for a grill and stainless steel refrigerator. The cockpit is shaded by a fiberglass hardtop with a surfboard edge, supported by a powder-coated aluminum frame, equipped with built-in LED lighting, and optionally fitted with a SureShade that extends to cover the entire cockpit. The transom area offers padded combing, fold-away seating, a pull-up ski pylon, freshwater shower adjacent to the water tank fill, and a transom door granting access to the swim platform. The swim platform extends between the twin outboards and includes an extra-large dive ladder with deep water reach and large grab handles for ease of water entry and exit.
Power and Performance
The test boat was powered by twin inline 4-cylinder Yamaha engines, each rated at 200 horsepower, paired with 14¼ by 18-inch 3-blade stainless steel propellers. At wide open throttle (5,500 RPM), the boat achieved a top speed of 48.5 miles per hour. A typical cruise speed at 4,500 RPM was 36.5 miles per hour, delivering fuel efficiency of 1.8 miles per gallon and a range of approximately 355 statute miles (308 nautical miles). The most economical cruising speed was 20.5 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM, extending the range to 474 statute miles (412 nautical miles) with a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration tests showed the boat reaching 20 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds. Handling was smooth and stable, with the catamaran slicing through wakes with minimal spray and leaning into both slow and high-speed turns. The wide engine spacing enables the boat to pivot on its own axis for precise docking maneuvers, although this requires some patience.
Fishing and Operational Features
Despite its family-oriented design, the 280 DCX incorporates several fishing-friendly features. An optional 20-gallon bait well with a blue interior and rounded corners includes a clear acrylic lid. Rod holders are strategically placed with two forward, several in the gunnel aft, and five mounted across the hardtop. A built-in saltwater washdown system facilitates cleanup after fishing activities. Operationally, the boat is equipped with four stainless steel pull-up cleats at the bow and a built-in freefall windlass with remote controls, with the anchor stored inside a tunnel beneath the deck for a clean profile. An additional freshwater washdown is located under the port bow hatch.
Helm and Systems Accessibility
The helm station is designed for comfort and ergonomics, featuring a stand-up racing bolster that folds down into a seat with armrest. The tilt steering wheel is stainless steel with a turn knob, and the switch panel is backlit and positioned for easy visibility. The compass is centered relative to the driver rather than the steering wheel, enhancing usability. Instrumentation includes an Optimus gauge, engine monitors, remote windlass controls, and ample space for flush-mounted electronics. Additional conveniences include a storage pouch beneath the wheel, a built-in footrest, stainless steel cup holders, and USB ports. Below the helm seat lies the battery center with battery switches, emergency parallel start capability, and DC mains. Maintenance access is facilitated by two cockpit sole hatches providing entry to batteries, bilge pumps with float switches, power steering pumps, fuel filters, washdown pumps, and bait well pumps. This thoughtful design simplifies upkeep and repairs, contributing to long-term reliability.
Conclusion
The WorldCat 280 DCX dual console catamaran successfully combines family comfort, fishing functionality, and solid performance in a versatile package. Its spacious and configurable seating, practical amenities, and well-engineered systems access make it suitable for extended outings and diverse activities. Powered by reliable twin Yamaha engines, it delivers efficient cruising speeds and responsive handling. Overall, the 280 DCX stands out as a well-rounded boat that meets the needs of both recreational boaters and anglers.
