Brief Summary

Constructed by Regal Boats—an established American shipyard with a long history of family ownership—the 34 SAV serves as an entry point into their Sports Activity Vessel series. Built on a proprietary hull designed for tracking and soft entries in rough water, this craft balances day-boating comfort with genuine multi-use utility. It aims to provide families, anglers, and cruisers with an adaptable platform that handles everything from sandbar gatherings to multi-day coastal runs.

The upper deck focuses on social flow, featuring dual fold-down side balconies that open the cockpit directly to the water, an outdoor prep center with cooking surfaces, and forward bow lounge seating. Down in the lower level, a convertible front salon transforms into a full-sized sleeping space, complemented by a secondary aft berth and an enclosed washroom with a dedicated shower. Key custom configurations include dual outboard engine setups, stabilizing gyro systems, overhead shade extensions, and advanced digital navigation touchscreens.

A Word About Performance

Regal’s 34 SAV runs on its Ocean Trac2 hull, conceived for outstanding handling and a ride ready for the challenges of offshore conditions. Our test day saw the air temperature at 87°F, with wind at 7 knots and 90% relative humidity. Seas were calm and we had a pair of 450-hp Yamaha outboards for power. Mercury 425-hp outboards are an option.

At WOT, we noted a top speed of 51.4 mph at 5850 rpm. We settled into our best cruise at 4000 rpm and 32 mph. Our calculated range was 272.1 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve on her 300 gallon fuel tank. We noted she planed between 3300 and 3400 rpm, which was just shy of 20 mph. During our hole shots, she went from 0-10 mph in 4.5 seconds, 0-20 mph in 7.0 seconds, and 0-30 mph in 13.5 seconds.
She proved a spirited performer when putting our test boat through a series of turns and maneuvers and noted little drop in speed when pursuing hard over moves. During straight runs, she tracked true and we felt in control, confident, and at ease throughout our sea trial whether standing, bolstered, or seated.

Summary

The versatile Regal 34 SAV comes from a long-established heritage of quality boat building that stretches back to 1969 when the company was founded by Paul and Carol Kuck. Throughout the many decades and iterations of design, through the ups and downs of the industry, and always looking for innovative ways to present their product to the boating public, the company, still family owned, stands on a stellar reputation for engineering excellence and quality and still builds its model line in Orlando, Florida, since day one.

The Regal 34 SAV offers a choice of activities to participate in while out on the water. Whether family cruising, water sports, fishing, entertaining, or traveling, this is a boat that shows off her multipurpose identity in only the best light. Comfort, luxury, performance are all part of the package.

About the Reporting Captains

Experts and Boat Owners

What has set BoatTEST apart from the many video-makers currently on the Internet and Social Media is the fact that for 26 years, only USCG-Licensed captains and experienced boat owners have tested and written our reports and made our videos. We believe that to provide boat owners the information they deserve, only other boat owners – who know the challenges of ownership -- can accurately report on it. It is that level of expertise and ownership experience that goes into every video and Captain’s Report that we publish. Because we know what it is like owning and operating a boat, we can pass-on the information that prospective boat buyers need to know.
