regal 33 SAV

Sport-forward yet dripping with style, this is a yacht bound to catch the eye, with lines that slope both to transom and toward the bow, while a swept-back upper cockpit with three glazed panels is matched by super-sharp knife-insert glazing across the hull sides. Cover your gelcoated hull in the paint job of your choice, with colors coming in swish tones like Newport Blue, Belle Isle Blue or Steel Gray and bootstripe accents in prominent options including Flame Red or Jet Black.

Prior to this boat’s release in 2018, Regal had not launched a sportfishing yacht in decades. This model brings a fresh perspective to a naval genre that can often feel tired and overworked. Add to that the sort of superb finish and build quality you would expect from the elite team at the Regal factory in Orlando, Florida, and it is easy to see why this is a game-changer in the world of sports boating. A macerated, in-sole fish-box is joined by an aerated transom livewell with an aquarium wall that keeps fish fresh, while tackle drawers, hidden storage beneath the seats and gunwale fixtures for rod storage allow you to stay well-stocked throughout the day. A set of five flush rod-holders to stern are complemented by telescopic Grand Slam outriggers and a rocket launcher set-up attached to the hardtop. At the end of a busy day hauling spearfish and blue marlin on-deck, clean-up is simple with a handy raw-water washdown hose. There is portside walkaround access to the bow, perfect for tracking your quarry, where a cushioned bulwark on that side will be used by linefishers with the patience to wait out their prey.

Bring out your sporty side by adding a tow pylon to this model, turning it into a paradise for wakeboarding, windsurfing, or water-skiing. Enjoy direct access to a pair of bathing platforms either side of the outboards via a twin set of transom gates, while a side-entry dive door to port can be used for convenient boarding or diving into the crystalline waters.

Sports boats are not supposed to be this luxurious – but this is not a vessel that plays by the established rules. Diamond stitched upholstery across the maindeck seduces guests into spending lazy afternoons sipping crisp champagne, reading a page-turner or chatting with friends while a maritime breeze cools your core temperature. The bow-lounge in particular seems tailor-made to encourage conviviality, boasting a C-shaped sofa with cup-holders built up against the bulwark and surrounding a pop-up, teak-topped dining table. Lower the table into place and cover it with a cushion to transform this area into a lavish sunpad, or switch on the integrated speakers out here and tune in to the soundtrack to your life.

The cockpit, too, features plenty of rest space, with a starboard chaise-longue joining a transom sofa where hardy fishermen can catch a break. A chunky wet bar station with Corian work surfaces sits directly behind the helm seats, and you can grill up lobster tails on the outdoor barbecue, stir down some ice-cold Martinis and keep your drinks chilled in the fridge all at the same time. A hidden sink is on hand for convenient clean-up, while a trash compactor built into the console keeps deck spaces tidy throughout. An extending sunshade over the aft-cockpit and an easily assembled lightweight Bimini that hovers over the bow lounge, meanwhile, help to keep guests protected from the worst of the midday sun.

Retreat down to the lower-deck and enjoy an intimate, climate-controlled living space with plenty of windows that sets this boat apart from the rest. A light toasted oak sole contrasts against the darker tones of coastal timber surrounds, while generous dimensions allow room for up to four overnight guests. To the bow there is a sofa with an actuating backrest which folds down to reveal a double bed, while to aft there is a dedicated California Queen bed perfect for couples. Across the center of the lower deck there is space for food storage and a microwave oven, while a main head impresses with a ceramic sink, a mirrored medicine cabinet and an entirely enclosed shower stall with bench seating.

An uncommonly smooth ride is secured by a 21-degree transom deadrise hull crafted from resin-infused fiberglass with patented OceanTrak technology, while a Seakeeper 3 stabilizer works to ensure balance while at anchor. On the move enthusiastic pilots will enjoy use of a hyper-responsive Optimus 360 Joystick and a tilting, SeaStation electronic power steering wheel, while trim-tab switches and thruster controls enhance directionality right when you need it. A pair of Garmin multifunction display screens promote user-friendly navigation and hand-held VHF radio keeps you in touch with the rest of the world. Surrounded by glazing on three sides, with a floating hardtop overhead, the helm station never feels exposed or wet, and a trio of adjustable, leather-lined piloting seats with fold-out footrests ensure comfort even as you grapple with the pulsating force of the sea. A set of cupholders built into the dashboard mean your drinks are always within reach, while a Yeti cooler located beneath the helm seats will keep your refreshments cool and close to hand.
