Regal 26 Express

Introduction and Key Features

While many Regal 26 Express boats have spent years stored in the water and carry the associated wear, this vessel has been a freshwater boat for most of its life, has never been stored in the water, and includes a trailer- a combination that significantly reduces long-term maintenance exposure and preserves condition and resale value.

Additionally, this Express 26 is more comprehensively equipped than her peers. The current owners invested in two substantial upgrades—both brand new and never used:

• Honda generator, providing true off-grid capability for extended cruising and overnight anchoring with climate control.
• Marine grill, enhancing onboard entertaining and day-use versatility

The Regal 26 Express platform is widely recognized for delivering big-boat livability in a trailerable express cruiser, highlighted by:

• A large sunlounge with flexible, social cockpit seating, ideal for entertaining
• A distinctive salon layout designed to maximize interior volume in this size range
• A spacious mid-cabin that supports comfortable overnight accommodations for couples or families

In summary, this is not a typical Regal 26 Express. It is a freshwater-kept, never-in-water example with premium upgrades and a trailer.

Broker Comments

This is the kind of 26 Express buyers wait for: freshwater-only until 2024, never stored in the water, and trailer-included- so you’re not locked into marina bills, bottom paint cycles, or “in-water” wear and tear. Add in the brand-new Honda generator and brand-new marine grill, and you’ve got a turn-key express cruiser that’s set up for anchor-outs, sandbar days, and comfortable overnights.

Regal also builds in a long list of durability and usability details that matter in the real world- like composite stringers, vinyl ester barrier coating, and MarineTred non-skid- plus premium stainless hardware throughout.
