The Costa Del Mar Cat Cay 9024 Sunglasses are named after a small island south of Bimini in the Bahamas—once Blackbeard’s hideout and the birthplace of bluefin tuna fishing. Built for anglers who demand performance on the water, the Cat Cay combines a face-hugging rectangular frame with Costa’s legendary 580 polarized lens technology and a patented vented system that keeps your vision clear when conditions get intense.
Costa’s 580 lenses deliver 99.9% polarization efficiency and block all UVA/UVB/UVC light while filtering out harmful blue light. The patented technology cuts down yellow light at 580nm on the visible spectrum, allowing your eyes to see more red, blue, and green—the result is sharper contrast, richer color, and reduced eye fatigue during long days on the water.
The Cat Cay is available with your choice of 580G glass lenses or 580P polycarbonate lenses. Glass lenses provide the best optical clarity, allow more light to pass through without scattering, and are scratch-proof thanks to encapsulated mirrors between the layers of glass. Costa 580G glass lenses are 20% thinner and 22% lighter than other polarized glass lenses. Polycarbonate 580P lenses offer lighter weight and superior impact resistance while maintaining excellent clarity. All lenses feature Costa’s C-Wall coating for extra scratch-resistance and a barrier that repels water, oil, and sweat for easy cleaning.
The face-hugging, mid-size Cat Cays fit the contours of cheekbones perfectly, sealing out light like glacier glasses. This core collection piece features a patented vented system to keep lenses clear—essential when you’re moving between air-conditioned boat cabins and humid saltwater air. The full-coverage rectangular lenses minimize light leak from the sides and top, giving you an unobstructed view whether you’re sight-fishing shallow flats or scanning the horizon offshore.
The frames are constructed from durable bio-resin acetate with integral hinges and a regular-to-wide fit (frame width 132mm, lens width 61mm, bridge 10mm). The design offers a more secure and comfortable fit for those with a high nose bridge and lower cheekbones. Available in multiple frame colors including Blackout, Matte Black, Matte Caribbean Fade, and special editions like the OCEARCH Tiger Shark collaboration.
The Cat Cay is prescription-ready, so you don’t have to choose between clear vision and performance optics. Costa’s prescription program maintains the same 580 lens technology and polarization in Rx lenses, with options for single vision, bifocal, and progressive prescriptions. This makes the Cat Cay a true working tool for anglers who need vision correction but refuse to compromise on water performance.
Each pair includes a Costa case, cleaning cloth, and is backed by Costa’s limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Whether you’re chasing tuna, stalking redfish in skinny water, or just need bulletproof sunglasses for life on the water, the Cat Cay delivers the clarity and durability Costa is known for.
