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 center console, seating, electronics, and the full 8-foot 9-inch 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 2740 with its twin outboard engines installed up to the maximum 300 HP rating. The aft section accommodates both engines while the cover drapes securely over the center console 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 2740 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 console, seating, electronics, rod holders, and the full catamaran deck.
No — please remove the cover before towing your World Cat 2740. 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 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 2740’s interior surfaces, upholstery, and electronics.
Your World Cat 2740 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 2740’s upholstery, center console, and interior surfaces.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

World Cat 2740 T-Top Boat Cover
The World Cat 2740 is a 27-foot power catamaran that has earned its reputation as one of the most capable offshore fishing platforms in its class. With an 8-foot 9-inch beam, twin engines up to 300 HP, and a 168-gallon fuel tank, the 2740 delivers the range and stability that tournament anglers demand. Our custom-fit T-Top boat cover wraps the entire 2740 — from the catamaran bow to the twin-engine transom — in solution-dyed marine fabric engineered for the offshore environment.
This cover is pattern-cut for the 2740’s proven catamaran profile. The center console, the fishing cockpit, the T-Top hardtop frame, and the 8-foot 9-inch 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.
Proven Offshore Platform, Complete Coverage
The 2740 has been a favorite among catamaran anglers for years. The 20-inch draft gives this boat deep-water stability while the twin-hull design delivers the smooth ride and fuel efficiency that World Cat is known for. That proven hull shape means our cover pattern has been refined and tested — every contour, from the bow flare to the transom angles, is accounted for in the fit.
Whether you fish the 2740 every weekend or keep it stored between seasonal runs, this cover protects the gelcoat, electronics, tackle storage, and upholstery from UV damage, salt corrosion, bird strikes, and weather. The breathable fabric prevents moisture buildup while blocking everything that degrades a boat’s finish and electronics over time.
