Additional information
Choose Your Cover Fabric
7 oz. Polyester — Our entry-level marine cover fabric, woven from 100% polyester fiber at a 7 oz. per linear yard weight. This lighter option keeps the cover manageable for solo handling while still delivering reliable protection against sun, rain, and debris. Backed by a 3-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black.
9 oz. Polyester — Step up to our heavy-duty polyester, engineered at 9 oz. per linear yard for boats that face tougher conditions or extended outdoor storage. The denser weave adds an extra layer of defense against abrasion and weather without adding unnecessary bulk. Protected by a 5-year fabric warranty. Ships in Navy or Black.
Sunbrella® — For boaters who want the best, our Sunbrella covers use 100% solution-dyed acrylic — the same fabric trusted by marine professionals worldwide. Naturally resistant to fading, mold, and water damage, Sunbrella holds its color and integrity season after season. Covered by a 6-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black, Smoke, or Marine Blue.
Both polyester options feature solution-dyed construction, where pigment is infused into each fiber during production rather than applied to the surface afterward. This process locks color deep into the material, preventing any dye transfer to your boat’s gel coat or finish. The result is a cover that stays vibrant without bleeding or rubbing off. Our polyester is also designed to breathe — it allows moisture trapped underneath to vent out naturally, reducing the risk of mildew and keeping your boat dry. The fabric holds its form without sagging or stretching over time, stays lightweight enough for one person to handle, and stands up to prolonged UV exposure and harsh marine weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cover wraps from the bow to the transom beneath the T-Top hardtop, shielding the dual console layout, seating areas, electronics, and the full 9-foot catamaran beam. The hardtop roof stays exposed while everything below is protected from UV, rain, bird droppings, and debris.
Yes, this cover is designed to fit the 260 DC-X with its twin outboard engines installed up to the maximum 400 HP rating. The aft section accommodates both engines while the cover drapes securely over the dual consoles and the full beam of the catamaran hull.
The cover is crafted from solution-dyed marine fabric that resists UV fading, mold, and mildew. This premium material maintains its color and protective qualities through years of sun exposure, salt spray, and seasonal weather — exactly the conditions a 260 DC-X catamaran encounters offshore.
The cover attaches to the underside of the T-Top hardtop and wraps down around the entire boat. The flat fiberglass hardtop roof remains exposed on top while the fabric protects everything below — the dual consoles, seating, electronics, rod holders, and the full catamaran deck.
No — please remove the cover before towing your World Cat 260 DC-X. Our covers are not designed to be trailered: towing with the cover on can cause severe damage to the cover and voids the warranty. The cover is designed for storage only — on a trailer, boat lift, dry stack, or jet dock — and comes off in minutes at the ramp.
With proper care, the solution-dyed marine fabric option lasts 5 to 7 years and the premium Sunbrella acrylic option lasts 8 to 10 years. Both fabrics are engineered for the harsh marine environment that catamaran owners encounter during offshore fishing and family cruising.
Absolutely. The solution-dyed marine fabric is engineered for extended outdoor storage. It breathes to prevent moisture buildup while blocking UV rays, rain, tree sap, and bird droppings from reaching the 260 DC-X’s interior surfaces, upholstery, and electronics.
Your World Cat 260 DC-X cover is backed by our manufacturer's warranty for the original purchaser. Materials and workmanship — stitching, straps, buckles, zippers, and other hardware — are covered for 1 year from the purchase date. Fabric is covered for 3 years on 7oz, 5 years on black or navy 9oz, and 6 years on Sunbrella. Covered defects are repaired or replaced after you contact us for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The warranty does not cover improper use, accident or negligence, unauthorized modifications, improper care, mold or mildew, incorrectly placed orders, theft or loss, or acts of God — and traveling with the cover on or using it in the water voids the warranty. See our Warranty page for full details.
Start by draping the cover over the T-Top hardtop, then pull it forward over the bow and aft over the transom around the twin engines. Secure the adjustable straps under the catamaran hulls and tighten the quick-release buckles. One person can install it in about ten minutes.
Yes, the solution-dyed marine fabric is breathable by design, allowing air to circulate beneath the cover while repelling water. This prevents the trapped moisture that causes mold and mildew growth on the 260 DC-X’s upholstery, dual consoles, and interior surfaces.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

World Cat 260 DC-X T-Top Boat Cover
The World Cat 260 DC-X is a 25-foot 6-inch power catamaran that combines X-Series performance with a dual console layout built for families and anglers alike. With a 9-foot beam, twin engines up to 400 HP, and 180 gallons of fuel capacity, the 260 DC-X delivers the offshore range and rough-water stability that World Cat is known for. Our custom-fit T-Top boat cover wraps the entire 260 DC-X — from the catamaran bow to the twin-engine transom — in solution-dyed marine fabric engineered for years of saltwater exposure.
This cover is pattern-cut specifically for the 260 DC-X’s X-Series dual console catamaran layout. The port and starboard consoles, the walk-through windshield, the T-Top hardtop frame, and the wide 9-foot catamaran beam all get accounted for in the fit. Reinforced stitching at every stress point handles the tension that comes with covering a wide-beam catamaran. Remove the cover before towing — it’s designed for storage, not highway travel. Every cover ships with a free matching storage bag and our fabric warranty of up to 6 years.
X-Series Dual Console, Built for Offshore Families
The 260 DC-X gives World Cat owners the best of both worlds — X-Series hull performance with a dual console layout that keeps passengers comfortable while running offshore. The port-side console provides a sheltered cabin area, and the starboard helm keeps the captain in command. Our cover pattern is designed specifically for this DC-X configuration — not adapted from the CC-X center console version.
Whether you run the 260 DC-X to the reef on weekends or cruise the islands with the family, this cover protects the gelcoat, electronics, upholstery, and deck hardware from UV damage, salt air, bird strikes, and weather. The solution-dyed fabric breathes to prevent moisture buildup while blocking everything that degrades a boat’s finish over time.
