1999 World Cat 246 Power Cat

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the twin bows carve out a cockpit that feels bigger than most mono-hulls in this size range. The 246’s high freeboard keeps crew dry when the chop picks up, and the wide walkthroughs make it easy to work a fish from bow to stern without climbing over gear. The helm has excellent sightlines for docking or threading tight channels, and the cat hull tracks straight even at slow speeds, making it friendly for less-experienced skippers. Deep, secure coamings and sturdy bow rails give everyone a confident stance underway, while the open layout lends itself just as well to setting out beach chairs and snorkel gear as it does to rigging baits at first light.

In waters where conditions can change quickly—from flat mornings to wind-driven afternoon chop—the 246’s twin-hull design really earns its keep. The soft ride and level running attitude let you stretch your range to more distant reefs, sandbars, or fishing grounds without beating up crew and gear. Shallow draft helps you ease into tucked-away coves and closer to the shoreline, while the long, stable platform stays comfortable at anchor or on the hook all day. With twin outboards and generous fuel capacity, this model is well suited to exploring scattered islands, working tidal passes, or spending long weekends hopping between favorite waterfront spots.
