Boston Whaler 420 | Regal 38 | Hobart History - 1/7/2026

OFFSHORE BY DESIGN Designed for owners who run far and stay out, she balances speed, range, and onboard systems without feeling oversized. Triple outboards support long offshore days, while the helm deck, cabin, and bow seating are laid out with purpose. Boston Whaler’s emphasis on structural integrity and systems access shows throughout, giving her a calm, capable feel underway.
 

WALK-AROUND DAYBOAT THINKING The Regal 38 SAV blends offshore capability with the comfort and finish of a refined dayboat. Its walk-around layout improves access and safety, while thoughtful seating zones and premium materials make it just as appealing at anchor as it is underway. A strong option for owners who want versatility without sacrificing refinement.
