2023 Regal 36 GC

Sixty hours. On a 2023 Regal 36 Grande Coupe. Stock #4667 is finished in grey, blue and white, carries 700 horsepower, and has barely left the dock.

The 36 Grande Coupe is Regal's answer for people who want a genuine cruiser without a cruiser's compromises. The clever part is the convertible aft cabin, which folds out into a queen bed, so a boat that spends its days as an open entertaining platform becomes proper overnight accommodation in a few minutes. Forward there is a second stateroom, and the head has a stainless shower head and the small civilised touches, robe and towel hooks included, that make living aboard pleasant rather than merely possible.

Up top the layout is unusually flexible. Multi-position seating at the open bow, a refreshment center in the open-air salon, and convertible face-to-face seating in the aft cabin area. Depending on how the boat is configured, you get either an aft cockpit lounge seat with a salon door and glass enclosure, or an aft social seat with an open cockpit that faces forward or aft. Either way the boat reconfigures around what the day turns into.

Systems are the part that matters on a boat you intend to use hard. A rope and chain anchor windlass, an automatic fire suppression system, a cabin carbon monoxide detector, handcrafted cabinetry with real storage in both staterooms, convenient outlets throughout, and a hand-stitched vinyl-wrapped dash with Fusion stereo at the helm.

On an 11-foot 7-inch beam and 18,600 lbs with 200 gallons aboard, it has the volume and the range to make a three-day weekend on the Lake genuinely comfortable.

Why this is the right boat: 60 hours on a 2023 means you are buying a nearly new cruiser and letting someone else absorb the first and steepest depreciation. If you want two staterooms, a queen berth, and a boat that entertains a group by day, this is a great deal of yacht for the money.
