2019 Regal 28 Express

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Regal squeezed big-boat thinking into a trailerable footprint. The 28 Express helm is laid out so everything falls easily to hand, with a double-wide seat that flips up for stand‑up visibility when you’re threading a busy fairway. The cockpit feels more like an outdoor lounge than a typical 28-footer, with wraparound seating and a removable table that quickly turns snack time into dinner under the stars. Below, the natural light from the hull windows and deck hatch keeps the cabin from feeling cave-like, even on gray days. Add in the spacious head with separate shower area and you’ve got weekender comfort that won’t leave you missing a hotel room.

In this region’s mix of open water, winding channels, and shallow coves, the Regal 28 Express hits a rare sweet spot. Its size is substantial enough to handle afternoon chop with confidence, yet still compact enough to explore tighter backwaters and smaller marinas. The efficient single-engine setup keeps fuel stops reasonable on longer day trips along the coast or up the river, while the cabin layout makes overnighting at quiet anchorages genuinely comfortable. When weather turns, the full enclosure and well-equipped galley let you ride it out on board instead of rushing back to the dock, making this a smart all-around cruiser for local waters.
