Regal, a state of being magnificent or dignified. Such is the boat brand started by Paul and Carol Kuck in 1969. The company, which operates out of Orlando Florida (though the manufacturing plant is in Georgia), focuses on the experience of boating. Whether that is in a smaller vessel or in one of the yachts, the company presents their boats as being something for enjoyment and luxury, going beyond the stereotype that all boats should double as fishing craft. If you are looking for a boat but do not want to have a vessel adorned with rocket holders and such features, this Regal Boat brand review is for you.
What makes the brand so popular?
The Regal Boats are offered globally and have a reputation for presenting luxury and style using the top materials and standards on the market. Boats are offered in the United States, Canada, and Internationally. Additionally, the variance on the sizes of the vessel appeal to those who wish to have a nice weekend boat for the family (or themselves), or to the more elite crowd who wish to have a large yacht for offshore adventures. The craftsmanship, professionalism, and their mission statement have driven the company forward using a “with God’s help” motto and a mindset that every boat buyer deserves the best experience.
An excess of Standard Features
Regal boats set themselves apart from other boats on the water as they offer an abundance of standard features instead of offering only the base model and then charging for an abundance of packaging. True, they do have options and packages, but the features on the base are substantial as well. For example, the 42sc features number 101 different components including the Windshield Walk-thru, Vinyl Ester Barrier Coating, Foredeck Wash Down Fast Vent Fuel Fitting, Electric Forward Opening Engine Hatch, Electric 2-burner stove, separate shower, Weather Resistant Deutsch Connectors, and Automatic Fire Suppression system.
Some of the options available include the Easyglide Auto Trim System, Electric Shore Cord Reel System, Belgian Linen material, High Gloss Mahogany wood, a cockpit tv, and Garmin Depth fish finder.

Common enhancement on the Regal packaging are updates to the motor and the motor configuration, whether that is in the inboard or the outboard boats. Check the HP of the model prior to purchase.
Where is the best place to use a Regal Boat?
Regal boats can be used anywhere that a 19’+ boat can navigate easily. Keep in mind that these are not fishing boats and thereby are not intended for use in areas where only skiffs, bay boats, and anger craft can navigate. Furthermore, you may find that the boats do well in the coast or Gulf on the smaller boats and the larger Yachts do well for offshore. Regal boats, specifically the Sport Cruisers and the Yachts can be used for cruising the keys. Mid-size boats may be used in larger recreational lakes.
Where can I find Regal Boats for sale?
Regal is a very popular global brand and therefore you can find the boats at many boat dealerships. New boats can be purchased from the manufacturer. However, should you wish to have a boat without the need to wait for it to be fabricated or shipped to you, then a pre-owned Regal Boat from Vessel Vendor may be the best option.
