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 9-foot 2-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 280 CC-X with its twin outboard engines installed up to the maximum 450 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 280 CC-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 console, seating, electronics, rod holders, and the full catamaran deck.
Yes, the cover includes an integrated tie-down system with adjustable straps designed for highway trailering. The snug fit prevents wind billowing at speed, keeping the cover secure across the 280 CC-X’s 9-foot 2-inch catamaran beam during transport to and from the water.
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 280 CC-X’s interior surfaces, upholstery, and electronics.
Every World Cat 280 CC-X cover ships with a 3-year warranty against material defects and UV degradation. The solution-dyed marine fabric is built to maintain its protective qualities well beyond the warranty period with normal use in saltwater environments.
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 fifteen 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 280 CC-X’s upholstery, center console, and interior surfaces.
World Cat 280 CC-X T-Top Boat Cover
The World Cat 280 CC-X is a 27-foot 6-inch catamaran center console built for serious offshore performance. With twin engines pushing up to 450 HP, a 9-foot 2-inch beam, and 220-gallon fuel capacity, the 280 CC-X handles rough water with the stability only a dual-hull platform can deliver. This custom-fit T-Top boat cover protects the entire hull below the hardtop, shielding consoles, electronics, and upholstery from UV rays, rain, and salt exposure while your World Cat sits at the dock or on the trailer.
Each cover is crafted from your choice of 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric or premium Sunbrella acrylic. Solution-dyed fabric delivers 5 to 7 years of dependable coverage, while Sunbrella acrylic extends protection to 8 to 10 years with superior fade resistance. Both options feature reinforced stitching at every stress point, a hem cord that secures beneath the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps that keep the cover locked tight in wind and weather.
Built for the World Cat Catamaran Platform
World Cat’s patented dual-hull design gives the 280 CC-X a uniquely wide, stable stance that demands a cover engineered specifically for catamaran geometry. Our covers are patterned to the 280 CC-X’s exact dimensions — 27 feet 6 inches LOA with a 9-foot 2-inch beam — wrapping smoothly over the hull contours without bunching or sagging. The T-Top frame remains exposed while the cover drapes from the hardtop down, creating full protection for the cockpit, bow, and gunwales.
At 7,400 pounds dry weight with a 14-inch draft, the 280 CC-X is built to run hard offshore. Your cover should match that durability. Every seam is double-stitched, every attachment point reinforced, and the water-repellent finish keeps moisture from pooling or penetrating — even through extended seasonal storage.
Ordering and Warranty
Select your World Cat 280 CC-X, choose your fabric and color, and we handle the rest. Every cover ships free to your door and includes a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty. Whether you fish the Gulf Stream or cruise coastal waters, this cover keeps your catamaran protected season after season.
