World Cat announced the launch of its newest model, the 260DC-X dual console. As the next generation replacement to World Cat's most popular model ever - the 255DC - the new 260DC-X began production July 2023 and is now available for pre-order at World Cat dealers.

"We didn't just optimize," said Chad Armstrong, VP of Sales & Marketing, "we revolutionized use of space, storage, comfort, and experience for a truly innovative World Cat 26-foot dual console."

Innovations include a swivel cooler seat with cushion that stows in a locked position under the captain's helm seat, while also swinging out for a convenient and comfortable starboard side-seat.

To ensure an unobstructed navigation from bow to stern, the door to the onboard head pivots out and back keeping the center aisle clear for passengers while allowing easy side entry into the roomy, well-appointed head.

Mounted at the back of starboard-side helm chair is an entertainment area containing a Corian top for food prep, four drink holders and built-in tackle/storage bins and insulated drink box.

Like its 260CC-X center console counterpart, the 260DC-X provides a fold-down 50" transom bench seat that easily folds down for a wide aft deck space and expanded casting deck along with easy on and off stern boarding.

Versatile and convenient seating features include an optional bow table that can easily be removed - converting the area to a lounge space with an optional filler cushion - and the multi-use port cockpit seat with three seating configurations: forward seating, aft leaning post position or portside rear facing chaise lounge.

Headquartered in Tarboro, NC, with an additional production facility in Greenville, NC, World Cat manufactures outboard-powered center and dual console catamaran models ranging from 23'-40'. World Cat models are known for their versatility, legendary smooth ride, class-leading available deck space, and performance... A Better Way to Boat™.
