2023 Regal 26 XO

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how much boat Regal fits into 26 feet. The wide, secure side decks and tall bow rail make moving forward feel confident, even when the afternoon chop picks up. In the cockpit, the multi-position aft bench flips and slides so you can face the water, the conversation, or stretch out for a nap. Inside the cabin, the mid-berth actually feels usable for adults, not just kids, and the galley has the storage and counter space to make a real meal, not just snacks. Overhead, the hardtop and full enclosure give you a true three-season cockpit, turning drizzle or blazing sun into non-events.

This 26-foot express is dialed in for waters where you’ll mix short hops with full weekends aboard. The size makes it easy to slip into busy marinas, restaurant docks, or narrow canals, yet the deep-V hull and substantial freeboard handle open-bay afternoons with confidence. With cabin headroom, a proper head, and a real berth, you can wait out passing squalls or stay overnight at a quiet anchorage instead of rushing back. The efficient single outboard keeps running costs in check while still giving you the speed to beat pop-up storms and shifting tides, a sweet spot for local exploring and spontaneous getaways.
