Regal thinks of everything so that you don’t have to. Aboard the LS2 Bowrider, one of the most compact boats in the current Regal fleet at just 22 feet in length, it seems like your every move has already been anticipated. An attentive approach to space-making sees footrests, cup-holders, pop-up pulpit tables and integrated speakers carefully positioned right where they should be, with stainless steel rails and cleats appearing just at the right moment as you move across the deck. Precision-engineering takes care of best-in-class hydrodynamics, while a rugged stern-drive promotes the sort of speed you have long been looking for. Convivial comfort in the bow-lounge, lavish meals in the cockpit and swims off the stern have been predicted and provided for, while a graceful, laid-back style more than matches your penchant for sophistication and luxury. So despite the entry-level size, or perhaps because of it, this is a boat that gives you plenty to think about.
Built with the same FasTrac technology that has made Regal a world leader in speed, efficiency and balance, the stepped hull boasts a deep-V shape, lifting strakes, reversed chines and a full-beam. The result is increased deck space, quicker top speeds at the high-end and up to 30% better fuel efficiency over equivalent models offered by other brands. Choose from a range of muscular stern-drive engines for top speeds in excess of 42 knots in ideal conditions, and swift acceleration that is bound to outpace any peer’s watercraft. A gasoline-powered Mercury 4.5L 250 Alpha motor comes as standard, though you can also switch to an optional 280HP Volvo V6 280 EVC engine that boasts similar speeds. You can stay out on the water all day while coasting at a smooth cruising speed of 22 knots thanks to a fuel tank holding 56 gallons, making this the ultimate choice for day-boaters who wish to extract every last minute from their time on the water. A relatively shallow draft of 34 inches with the drives down makes this a fine option for exploring the azure waters of any tropical lagoon, but you will also find this yacht soaring in the sea off the coast of Miami. This yacht’s Power Tower also benefits from an actuating function, meaning that it can be lowered when passing under bridges with a low clearance, a much-needed feature when exploring hard-to-reach inland waterways like lakes and canals.
Regal knows how important style is to you, and that’s why this boat doesn’t just drive well, but looks the part, too. A sleek aerodynamic form that gently slopes both to the bow and to transom recalls the smooth gliding of a skipping stone as it dashes across the surface of the water. Plenty of steel highlights, a tempered and tinted windscreen that slopes towards you and a chic, open-air aspect are joined by your choice of demure gel-coatings in the tones of Belle Isle Blue, Tahiti Beach white or even, for an eye-catching impact, fiery Flame Red.
Life aboard this model is a real treat for the senses, with a non-slip seagrass or Seadek sole providing a steady, durable and stylish deck experience, and plush, diamond-stitched upholstery with a marine-grade finish ready to host those looking for relaxation. There is a central walkway through the entire deck form bow to stern, making moving about this vessel straight-forward and simple. Up in the bow-lounge there is space for up to three guests to enjoy wrap-around seating, room for a detachable table, integrated cup-holders, hidden speakers and even the chance to turn this forward lounge into a single, sprawling daybed.
The cockpit is no less exquisite. With cup-holders built into the seats, armrests that swing down to support tired arms and a cooler full of ice under the cushions, it’s almost as if there’s a personal waiter attending your every need as you lounge. Desire a bit of shade? Then a Sunbrella canvas attached to the tower unfurls to provide it. Need to get the party started? Fusion stereo speakers linked via Bluetooth to the helm are ready to blast out your own personal soundtrack. And if you are still out on the water after dark, then a blue LED lighting package at the helm, in the cockpit, and even underwater, is on hand to illuminate and enchant. Edge-to-edge seating in the cockpit enhances the sociability of this space, and can be arranged in a manner of different ways to respond to the requirements of your party. An optional table back here will provide the perfect platform for light lunches of briny oysters, Italian cold-cuts and fresh fruit, while others will simply use it to keep their poker hand face-down and their drinks topped up. Facing aft, meanwhile, are a pair of rumble seats with backrests that can be shifted to give guests the option of facing the cockpit or looking out and enjoying the expansive views to stern. Swimmers are also likely to catch their breath back here, after reboarding the vessel via the full-beam bathing platform, a feature that remains low to the water for those who like to get their feet wet.
Even at the helm it seems like the Regal LS2 has been built with you in mind. A vinyl-wrapped dashboard boasts intuitively-placed instrumentation, the helm seats can be adjusted to match your preferred posture, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel boasts that extra touch of power-assistance to help you master the waves. Dual Garmin 943 touchscreens bundle navigational tech into a futuristic package complete with autopilot, speedometers and GPS, while binnacle controls have been affixed to the bulwark for a user-friendly experience. A companion seat up here also means that you don’t have to pilot alone, and can share the thrilling ride with another. See, Regal really does think of everything.
