2026 Regal 38 Surf

A 38-foot boat that throws a surf wave. This new 2026 Regal 38 Surf, stock #4815, in a steel grey hull with a black hardtop, is the largest surf boat Regal builds, and the specification on this one is close to complete.

The surf system runs on twin Volvo V8 380 Forward Drive units with EVC2 electronic controls and DuoProp drives. Forward Drive puts counter-rotating propellers ahead of the transom and well under the hull, which is what makes surfing behind a big sterndrive safe. On a 19,500 lb hull, the wave the Surf System generates is broad and long rather than steep, the kind a rider can settle into and stay in.

Three options transform how the boat is used. A Seakeeper 4 gyro stabiliser eliminates roll at anchor, which on a boat that spends hours rafted up or holding position between surf sets is the most valuable thing you can fit. A power hardtop with a sunroof gives shade or open sky at the touch of a button and shelter when a storm cell crosses the Lake. And a PowerPlatform surf deck lowers hydraulically into the water, so getting riders and boards aboard between sets stops being a scramble.

Below there is an air-conditioned cabin with a convertible salon, a mid-cabin berth, and a full galley, which is what lets a long day become an overnight. The helm carries dual 22-inch Garmin glass displays with autopilot and joystick control, and audio is the Ultimate JL Audio package. There are 350 gallons of fuel aboard on an 11-foot 11-inch beam.

Why this is the right boat: nothing else really does this. It surfs properly, it cruises properly, it entertains a large group in air-conditioned comfort, it sits still at anchor, and one person can dock it with a joystick. If your family wants the surf boat and the cruiser and refuses to own two boats, the 38 Surf is the answer.
