2020 Regal 28 Express

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Regal squeezed big‑boat thinking into a 28‑foot footprint. The helm feels like a mini sport yacht, with a doublewide seat that flips up so you can run comfortably standing or seated. The cockpit wet bar is perfectly placed for entertaining, with room for a fridge or cooler so snacks and drinks stay arm’s length from the action. Below, the mid‑cabin is surprisingly generous, giving adults real sleeping space instead of “kids‑only” quarters. Large hull windows and a clever use of indirect lighting keep the cabin bright and inviting, even on gray days. Up front, the foredeck is easy to access and flat enough to actually lounge on, not just walk past.

In these waters, the 28 Express hits a sweet spot between nimble dayboat and capable weekender. It’s compact enough to slip into tighter marina berths and busy fuel docks, yet offers a true cabin for escaping summer squalls or stretching overnight cruises. The enclosed head and functional galley mean you’re not tied to shore facilities, so sandbars, quiet coves, and waterfront restaurants all become easy targets. The manageable size keeps docking and trailering stress low, while still giving family and friends separate spaces to spread out underway. For local boaters who want one boat to handle afternoon hops, sunset cruises, and the occasional long weekend aboard, this model fits the brief perfectly.
