Regal 26 Express Boats For Sale

The Regal 26 Express is the smallest model in Regal's Express cruiser lineup, a hand-built American pocket cruiser aimed at the entry-level cruising buyer who wants overnight accommodation without giving up the performance and handling of a bowrider. It carries a full cabin with a galley, a separate head, and two convertible sleeping areas in a roughly 27-foot length-overall package, and it remains trailerable. It compares closely with the larger Regal 28 Express, but the 26's cockpit floor is raised for better sightlines through the windows underway, and it adds carpeted soles and a true full-beam aft cabin that the 28 does not have.

Power comes from a single sterndrive: a MerCruiser 6.2L 300 hp V8, a Volvo Penta 300 hp V8, or an earlier Volvo Penta V6 280 hp, all turning a dual-prop Bravo 3 outdrive with counter-rotating props for grip and slow-speed control. Top speed runs 41 to 43 mph, with Regal reporting an average top speed of 43.2 mph. Best economy is at 4,000 rpm and 25 mph, where fuel burn was measured at 21.7 gallons per hour, giving a range of about 165.8 miles from the 72-gallon fuel capacity. She planes from a standstill in under five seconds, shows noticeable bow rise on acceleration that settles to roughly a 5-degree cruise attitude, and the Fast Track hull channels air under the bottom for added efficiency. Freeboard is 4 feet 11 inches forward and 4 feet aft.

The helm carries digital throttle and shift, active trim that automatically sets drive pitch for fuel efficiency, and trim tabs. Electronics include twin flush-mounted Garmin displays with chartplotter and depth functions, a Garmin VHF with DSC, and a Fusion Bluetooth stereo feeding four cockpit speakers plus cabin speakers. The seat is a seat-and-a-half with a flip-up bolster, the steering wheel tilts, and bow thruster, windlass, underwater light, and power tower controls are within reach. The fiberglass GRP power tower folds flat at the touch of a button for transport and low bridge clearance, and the boat can still be driven in the lowered position.

The swim platform runs the full beam and extends about 2 feet from the transom, finished with SeaDek matting embossed with the Regal logo, a port-side reboarding ladder, high cleats, a ski tow hook, a hot-and-cold transom shower, and a waste tank pump-out. An acrylic gate closes off the walk-through transom. Aft cockpit seating drops to form a full-beam day bed, and an Igloo cool chest holding 34 liters or 56 cans sits beneath. A removable pedestal table serves the opposing seating, and a walkthrough windshield with molded steps gives access to the bow, where a stainless plow anchor sits on a roller with an electric windlass and an optional bow sunpad.

Below, the galley to starboard has a Corian counter, a single stainless sink, a Kenyon alcohol-electric cooktop usable on shore power or at anchor, a microwave, and a refrigerator with a small freezer compartment. The head opposite is a wet head with an electric toilet, overboard discharge pump-out, a built-in shower head, and an extractor fan to clear moisture. Forward V-seating converts to a berth, and the full-beam aft cabin measures 4 feet 7 inches by 6 feet 7 inches, with opening portholes on both sides and his-and-hers reading lights; headroom there runs from 2 feet 6 inches down to 2 feet 1 inch behind the steps. Air conditioning runs off shore power, and the boat sleeps up to four.

Build quality is a defining trait, with quilted stitching, genuine leather options, and joinery that buyers place against far pricier brands. A new UK example was priced around £180,000, while clean used boats from model years such as 2017, 2018, and 2021 sell for a fraction of that with low engine hours. When shopping a Regal 26 Express for sale, weigh which engine option is fitted, whether the camper enclosure, SeaDek, bow thruster, and cockpit barbecue are present, and confirm the swim platform is molded and not an overhanging add-on that raises marina fees. Buyers wanting clear cockpit sightlines and a genuine full-beam aft cabin will find the 26 distinct from the 28.
