Regal 38 Surf Boats For Sale

The Regal 38 Surf is the largest surf boat Regal builds, a 39-foot-2-inch wake-surf platform that doubles as a cruising and overnighting boat. The hull carries an 11-foot-11-inch beam and a 20,000-pound dry weight, mass that lets it hold its line through chop and rough water that would stop a conventional towboat. It grew out of Regal's 38 sport activity vessel, with the back end completely redesigned for surfing. The open bow seats six to eight, with flip-down armrests, cup holders, storage under the seats, an anchor locker with windlass, and a freshwater washdown for rinsing the ground tackle. Shoppers looking at Regal surf boats for sale will find this model aimed at families who want surfing, fishing, coving and cabin comfort in one boat.

Power comes from twin Volvo Penta forward drives paired with 6.2-liter gas engines rated 430 horsepower each, the system Volvo Penta and Regal developed together over roughly five years. There is no ballast; the boat is heavy enough that Volvo's surf tabs — big 10-gauge steel tabs on industrial-grade actuators that also serve as trim tabs — shape the wave. Surfing is a single button press: choose surf left or surf right, then fine-tune speed and trim. The wave runs long and forgiving, with the rider sitting about 15 feet back. It cruised at 38 mph through busy, choppy water, and an optional Seakeeper gyro cuts the roll noticeably. Volvo's water sports control system stores up to 20 rider profiles.

The center helm seats four across on wide bolstered seats that recline and slide, and the two outer seats rotate to face the surfer. Twin 22-inch Garmin displays run digital switching, navigation, media, RGB lighting, surf controls, hatches, shade and generator, plus forward- and rear-facing cameras. The dash includes joystick docking and steering, a bow thruster, trim tabs, a wireless phone charger, an opening sunroof and windshield wipers.

The cockpit is built around a kitchen island with a sink, grill cooktop, dual refrigerators (one can be optioned as a freezer), a trash can and a Yeti 65, plus a cooler that converts to a livewell. The Ultra Lounge seat slides on a 14-inch track and reclines flat into a sun pad or bed. Dive doors open on both port and starboard, with insulated fish boxes that drain overboard. Rod holders and rocket launchers double as surf tow points on each side, and an electric SureShade extends from the hardtop. Audio is JL Audio, including four aft-facing speakers, two wake subs and six wireless remote pucks. A patented power platform lowers into the water at one touch.

The cabin sleeps four with standing headroom over six feet. A forward V-berth converts to a lounge or berth, and the aft berth fills in to a queen or king. There is a microwave, a full standup head with a separated walk-in shower and a lockable door, a Fisher Panda diesel generator, Dometic air conditioning and heat, and a full Isinglass enclosure for year-round use.
