2003 Regal 3860 Commodore

Slide aboard and you feel right away that this 3860 was designed for people who actually use their boats. The elevated helm gives you a commanding, SUV‑like view forward, while the wraparound companion seating keeps crew close during long runs. At anchor, the cockpit becomes your floating patio, with that big U‑shaped lounge and wet bar begging for long evenings under the canvas. Below, the private aft cabin isn’t an afterthought—it’s a real retreat with its own head, ideal for two couples or family trips. Storage is generous and intelligently placed, and that hydraulic cockpit hatch makes engine checks and maintenance surprisingly simple and dry-shoes easy.

For waters that mix longer runs with protected anchorages, this 3860 hits a sweet spot. The efficient modified‑V hull is comfortable in a range of conditions, yet still happy to loaf along at slower sightseeing speeds. Bow and stern thrusters make tight fairways, busy fuel docks, and cross‑wind slips far less stressful, even for a short‑handed crew. The generous cockpit and swim platform work beautifully for raft‑ups, sandbar days, and watersports, while the two true staterooms with separate heads turn weekend getaways into relaxed mini‑vacations. It’s a size that’s substantial enough to feel solid offshore, but still manageable to own, dock, and service locally.
