Our Thoughts

The 2017 World Cat 295 DC is a purpose-built 30-foot power catamaran that delivers genuine dual-console functionality with serious fishing DNA and open-water stability. Powered by twin Yamaha 300-horsepower outboard engines, this fiberglass catamaran cruises at 23.46 knots and achieves a maximum speed of 47.79 knots—genuine performance from proven marine powerplants. With 715 logged hours, the vessel represents a well-used platform ready for continued service.

Hull & Layout

The catamaran hull design provides the stability and efficiency this class is known for, with a 9.5-foot beam that maximizes usable interior space without sacrificing trailering practicality. The 295 DC's layout separates the helm and forward seating areas via a bi-fold weather door between consoles, a thoughtful detail that protects the helm station from wind and spray during rough conditions while maintaining sight lines. The dual-console configuration gives the captain and co-pilot independent seating with custom ergonomic seats, twin flip-up bolsters at the helm, and recessed stainless steel cup holders positioned for accessibility during operation.

Fishing & Storage

This World Cat was designed with serious fishing in mind. The starboard seatbox contains a 185-quart insulated fishbox with raw-water wash-down capability, while the port seatbox houses a 30-gallon insulated livewell with a 1100-gph magnetic drive pump and clear lid for live-bait management. Forward storage includes a 225-quart insulated fishbox with overboard drain accessible from the starboard box. A lockable dry storage compartment with rod racks for six rods is integrated into the port box and accessible from the head, while six gunwale-mounted stainless steel rod holders and six rocket launchers on the hardtop provide multiple rigging options. The walk-through transom with heavy-duty acrylic door includes dedicated bait prep and tool storage, essential for extended fishing operations.

Helm & Electronics

The helm station features a fiberglass hardtop with aluminum frame, safety glass walk-through windshield with dedicated walk-through door latch, and an ergonomic dash layout capable of accommodating either two 8-inch screens or one 12-inch screen—flexibility that supports modern Garmin, Simrad, or Lowrance electronics integration. A radio box with flat panel mounting accommodates VHF communication, while overhead lights and spreader lights ensure visibility in all conditions. Power-assisted hydraulic steering with a stainless steel wheel and power-knob provides confident handling, and joystick control simplifies low-speed maneuvering and docking.

Comfort & Amenities

Forward bow seating accommodates six adults with cushioned backs and safety—port and starboard recessed hand-rails, a molded-in bow pulpit with roller and cleats, and a Pro Series freefall windlass with 300 feet of line, 15 feet of chain, and a 22-pound anchor managed via foot switches. The head/changing room features a 23-inch wide access door with full standing headroom, a 15-gallon marine head with overboard discharge, vanity with mirror, Corian countertop with stainless steel sink, and a fiberglass door with handrail providing access to a lockable rod locker.

Overview
The 2017 World Cat 295 DC is a 30-foot dual-console catamaran that delivers the stability, fuel efficiency, and shallow-draft characteristics that define the World Cat platform, paired with serious fishing capability and comfortable day-cruising accommodations. With twin Yamaha 300-horsepower outboard engines, joystick control, and a well-appointed helm layout, this vessel bridges the gap between high-performance center console and family-friendly cruiser. Sitting at 9.5 feet beam and powered by 600 total horsepower, the 295 DC achieves a cruising speed of 23.46 knots and a maximum speed of 47.79 knots—performance characteristics that support both offshore fishing runs and efficient point-to-point cruising. The fiberglass construction and catamaran hull design provide the buoyancy and ride quality expected from the platform, while the dual-console layout and comprehensive equipment package position this boat for serious anglers, families, and boaters seeking a mid-size vessel with genuine offshore capability.
Layout and Deck Design
The 295 DC's footprint is optimized for fishing, entertaining, and day-cruising. The bow features a molded-in pulpit with roller and cleats, anchored by a Pro Series freefall windlass equipped with 300 feet of line, 15 feet of chain, and a 22-pound anchor controlled via foot switches—a professional-grade setup that supports secure anchoring in variable conditions. Bow seating accommodates six adults with cushioned backs, creating a social space for cruising or fishing preparation. Recessed hand-rails port and starboard provide safety and grip points across the foredeck, while four stainless steel cup holders and a lockable dry storage compartment keep beverages and essentials organized. The starboard bow box houses a forward insulated 225-quart fishbox with overboard drain, while the port box contains rod racks for six rods, accessible from the head compartment for convenient rod stowage. The dual-console helm and passenger area represents the boat's operational and social core. A safety-glass walk-through windshield with walk-through door latch opens the helm to the bow, while a bi-fold weather door between the consoles seals the space during heavy weather. The fiberglass hardtop with aluminum frame carries six rocket launchers for rigging, spreader lights for night operation, and a radio box with flat panel for VHF mounting. The helm seat features twin flip-up bolsters and sits beside a passenger custom seat; both have nearby recessed stainless steel cup-holders. The starboard console includes a removable-floor storage area providing access to three batteries, the waste tank, and electronics, with space reserved for an optional bow table. The port seatbox houses the operational fishing system: a 30-gallon insulated livewell with a 1100-gph magnetic drive pump, overboard drain, and clear lid for live-bait management. The starboard seatbox contains a 185-quart insulated fishbox and raw-water wash-down system, with dedicated compartments for raw-water and power-steering pumps positioned for straightforward maintenance access. The aft section features twin aft-facing seats on seatboxes with flip-down footrests, dual fold-down seats with backrest cushions, and a walk-through transom with heavy-duty acrylic door, bait-prep station, and tool storage. A freshwater transom shower supplied by the 35-gallon water tank completes the stern, while the extended swim platform with integrated handrails and ladder facilitates water access and boarding.
Helm and Electronics
The helm layout is engineered for straightforward operation and equipment integration. The ergonomic dash is designed to accommodate either two 8-inch screens or one 12-inch screen, supporting modern chartplotters, sonar, and autopilot displays without visual clutter. A power-assisted hydraulic steering system with stainless steel wheel and power-knob reduces fatigue during extended operation, while joystick control—a hallmark feature of modern catamaran design—enables single-handed maneuvering at low speeds, particularly valuable during docking and tight-quarters fishing. The starboard console storage area provides protected access to three batteries and the waste tank, with additional space allocated for electronics mounting and optional accessories. Overhead lights and spreader lights mounted on the hardtop support night operation and navigation, while magnetic catches on the head entry and walk-through doors maintain security in moderate seas.
Fishing Features and Live-Bait Systems
The 295 DC is equipped for both live-bait and dead-bait fishing methodologies. The port seatbox livewell—30 gallons with a 1100-gph magnetic drive pump—maintains water circulation and oxygen levels necessary for keeping baitfish and small game fish alive throughout extended offshore trips. The clear lid allows quick visual assessment without opening the system, while the overboard drain prevents overflow and maintains water quality. The starboard seatbox fishbox (185 quarts, insulated) accommodates iced catch or dead bait, with raw-water wash-down capability for quick deck cleanup. The forward starboard bow fishbox (225 quarts, insulated, with overboard drain) provides additional storage for expanding catches or provisioning. Six gunwale-mounted stainless steel rod holders position along the sheer, while the lockable port bow dry storage compartment with rod racks holds six rods safely out of the weather. The walk-through transom with bait-prep station and tool storage creates a dedicated work zone for rigging, tackle organization, and fish processing.
Comfort and Seating
Day-cruising comfort is central to the 295 DC's design. Bow seating for six adults with cushioned backs creates a forward social area, while the dual helm and passenger seats at the console provide commanding views and ergonomic support. The aft seating arrangement—twin aft-facing seats on seatboxes, dual fold-down seats with backrest cushions, and flip-down footrests—accommodates multiple configurations for entertaining or relaxed cruising. The extended swim platform with ladder and integrated handrails facilitates water access and boarding, while the freshwater transom shower (supplied by the 35-gallon water tank) provides rinse capability after swimming or fishing. Stainless steel cup-holder placement throughout the vessel—four in the bow, additional holders at the helm—supports beverage service and reduces spillage in rough conditions.
Cabin and Interior Facilities
The 295 DC includes a head compartment designed for function and privacy on overnight or extended day trips. The head features a 23-inch-wide access door with standing headroom, a marine head with 15-gallon holding tank and overboard discharge, a vanity with mirror and Corian countertop, stainless steel sink, fiberglass door with handrail and magazine rack, and access to a lockable rod locker. The space functions as both a head and changing room, supporting the versatility expected in a fishing and cruising platform. Storage compartments throughout the cabin—including the lockable dry storage in the bow with rod racks, the starboard console storage with removable floor lids, and the seatbox compartments for battery management, freshwater pump, and drawer storage—provide organized stowage for tackle, provisioning, and personal gear.
Power and Performance
Twin Yamaha 300-horsepower outboard engines deliver 600 total horsepower to the 295 DC's catamaran hull. The cruising speed of 23.46 knots reflects efficient operation in typical sea states, supporting fuel-conscious point-to-point cruising while maintaining reasonable transit times. The maximum speed of 47.79 knots demonstrates the performance envelope available for shorter runs or time-sensitive operations. The 116.5-gallon fuel capacity supports extended offshore fishing trips and cruising without frequent refueling, while the 35-gallon water capacity addresses freshwater needs for showers, head operation, and provisioning. The catamaran hull design—characterized by two hulls separated by the center console area—provides inherent stability and buoyancy, reducing pitching in head seas and supporting comfortable operation across a range of sea states. Joystick control simplifies helm operation at low speeds, reducing crew workload during docking and anchoring.
Equipment Highlights
The 295 DC arrives with a comprehensive equipment package reflecting both fishing and cruising priorities. The Pro Series freefall windlass with 300 feet of line, 15 feet of chain, and 22-pound anchor addresses secure anchoring in variable conditions. Spreader lights and overhead helm lights support night operation and navigation. Six rocket launchers on the hardtop provide rigging flexibility for outriggers, anten
