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 World Cat 235 HB T-Top cover is available in three fabric options: 9oz solution-dyed polyester for heavy-duty everyday protection, a lighter 7oz polyester for budget-friendly coverage, and premium Sunbrella acrylic for maximum UV resistance and longevity. Solution-dyed fabric has the color built into each fiber, so it resists fading and won't transfer dye onto your 235HB's gelcoat or cushions.
Yes. The cover is pattern-cut specifically for the World Cat 235HB, shaped for the wider, squarer bow of a catamaran rather than a monohull. Reinforced cutouts wrap around the T-Top legs while the T-Top stays exposed above, and the cover drapes over the bow lounger, console, leaning post, and aft casting platform.
Installation takes about five minutes. Drape the cover over the 235HB from bow to stern, guide the cutouts around the T-Top legs, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and cinch down the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. No tools or snaps are required.
No — please remove the cover before towing your World Cat 235 HB. 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.
Yes. While your 235HB is stored, the cover creates a complete barrier over the helm electronics, leaning post, bow lounger cushions, and deck hatches — blocking UV rays, rain, salt spray, bird droppings, and pollen. Keeping the helm and upholstery covered between trips is one of the easiest ways to protect your investment.
Your World Cat 235 HB 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.
The cover is highly water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. All fabrics carry a DWR (durable water repellent) finish that sheds rain and spray while staying breathable, so moisture doesn't get trapped underneath. That breathability helps keep mildew and condensation off the cushions and deck.
No — this cover is patterned specifically for the World Cat 235HB with the factory T-Top. The 235 CC and 235 TE have different layouts and use their own patterns. If your 235HB has added outriggers, a taller top, or other aftermarket hardware, contact us before ordering so we can confirm fit.
The 235HB cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed polyester in Navy or Black, 7oz polyester in Black, or premium Sunbrella acrylic in Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke. Choose your fabric and color in the order options above.
Shipping is a $30 flat rate per cover within the continental United States. Because every cover is custom-made to order, please allow 1–3 weeks for your 235HB cover to be made and shipped — you'll receive tracking information as soon as it leaves our facility.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

World Cat 235 HB T-Top Boat Cover — Custom Protection for World Cat’s Flats-to-Offshore Hybrid Catamaran
The World Cat 235HB is the brand’s “Hybrid” — a 22’7″ power catamaran with an 8’6″ beam that draws just 9 inches, so it can fish a skinny flat on the morning tide and still run offshore in the afternoon. It carries 89 gallons of fuel and twin outboards up to 300 HP total, and weighs about 5,100 lbs with power. Like every World Cat, it rides on twin hulls that stay stable at rest and soften the ride in a chop, and the 235HB pairs that with a fiberglass T-Top, a bow lounger, an aft casting platform, and seating for up to ten. With twin engines, twin hulls, and a full set of electronics, it’s a boat worth covering properly between trips. If you’re outfitting it for long days on the flats, our boat shade kits pair well with this cover.
Tailored to the 235 HB’s Hybrid Catamaran Layout
A catamaran is wider and squarer at the bow than a monohull of the same length, so a generic cover either pulls tight or hangs loose. This cover is pattern-cut for the 235HB’s catamaran deck — it wraps cleanly around the T-Top legs and drapes over the bow lounger with its 310-quart storage and two 170-quart insulated fishboxes, the console and leaning post, the aft casting platform, the flip-up bench seat, and the 20-gallon livewell, while the fiberglass T-Top stays exposed above. Installation takes about five minutes — drape it from bow to stern, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and cinch the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. The cover is built for storage on a trailer, boat lift, dry stack, or jet dock. Remove the cover before towing — it’s designed for storage, not travel, and towing with it on voids the warranty.

Protection That Matches World Cat Quality
Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for heavy-duty everyday protection with a 5–7 year service life, a lighter 7oz fabric for budget-friendly coverage, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade-resistant protection. Every option is water-repellent, breathable, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at the seams to stand up to salt spray, summer storms, and the sun that bakes the 235HB’s electronics, cushions, and gelcoat. Each cover is backed by our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric) and ships for a $30 flat rate within the US — because every cover is made to order, please allow 1–3 weeks.
