Dual Console The Cat's Meow

World Cat 296DC dual console, which might just be the ultimate day boat for families who like to fish, dive, wakeboard or just explore.

Stretching 29’1” in overall length and riding on a wide 9’6” beam, the World Cat 296DC is among the most spacious dual consoles in its class, thanks to the versatile catamaran design. Up front, the massive bow seating area offers plenty of room for six adults to stretch out in comfort, while generously upholstered, full wrap-around cockpit coaming and an ample interior depth make these the best seats in the house for stretching out and enjoying the summer sun. Lift the seat cushions and you’ll find all sorts of storage space in the seat bases, including a 30-gallon live well under the port seat and a huge 185-quart fish box on the starboard side. Enter the main cockpit through the boat’s large walk-through windshield and you’re greeted by twin, double-wide seats for the driver and navigator, each with fold-down arm rests. A bi-fold door between the console allows the bow to be closed-off altogether. The two consoles aboard the 296DC feature a head and changing space to port that offers 6 feet 6 inches of vertical clearance. Anglers can also access lockable horizontal rod storage through a forward door inside the port console. The main cockpit of the World Cat 296DC provides still more seating options, starting with twin rear-facing seats on seat boxes and dual aft fold-down seats with backrest cushions. Twin jump seats on the transom fold flat out of the way when they’re not needed, opening up the stern for serious fishing. Between them, a transom door opens to provide access to the stern swim platform. Powered by Twin Yamaha 300’s this 2019 WorldCat 296 Dual Console reaches a top speed of over 50 mph at wide-open throttle.
