Regal 38 SAV

Regal bills its all-new 38 SAV as a floating luxury SUV, and that’s an accurate assessment since there’s really nothing this delightful boat doesn’t do well.

Step aboard either from the swim platform, through the wide gunnel doors or onto the raised starboard boarding platform for greater comfort when entering from high piers. No matter which way you chose to enter the aft cockpit, you’ll find an inviting aft-facing sofa, a retractable bench seat in the transom and a retractable TV overhead, making this the best spot to grab a cold drink and relax in comfort. 

Ready for a snack? The forward end of the cockpit features a walk-around island with a solid-surface counter, grill, sink, trash can, twin refrigerators and plenty of storage. 

Stowing the transom seat opens up the cockpit for fishing. You’ll find multiple rod holders, dual 33-gallon fishboxes, a clear-sided livewell and under-gunnel storage racks to keep rods safe when not in use. Outboard power creates room for a huge lazarette in the cockpit floor, providing easy access to batteries, the Seakeeper, the generator and other gear. 

The helm faces four plush captain’s seats, with the outermost ones able to rotate 180 degrees. The helm includes twin 16-inch displays, a stainless steering wheel with turning knob and air conditioning vents to stay cool underway. Or open the overhead sunroof and enjoy the fresh air. A wide portside walkthrough leads to the spacious bow and its inviting U-shaped seating.

The below-decks cabin features forward and aft settees that each convert into berths for overnight accommodations. The spacious head offers a full walk-in shower.

“It’s like a combination center console and bowrider with a nice cabin,” says Rich Gotlund at Basa’s Marine, which has a 38 SAV available for delivery in October 2021. “It has all the amenities of a yacht, but with the versatility of a center console.”
