The Regal 50 SAV is Regal’s flagship Sports Activity Vessel, with a 14-foot-7-inch beam, king aft stateroom, dual Terrace Doors and 700 gallons of fuel.
The Regal 50 SAV is Regal’s flagship Sports Activity Vessel, with a 14-foot-7-inch beam, king aft stateroom, dual Terrace Doors and 700 gallons of fuel. It makes the most sense for buyers who want a true outboard-powered luxury yacht that can still fish, dive, entertain and use open activity spaces. The reference dimensions are 50′ 5″ overall, 14′ 7″ of beam and approximately 33,500 lb dry. The boat carries 700 gal of fuel and uses outboard propulsion. The 50 SAV can replace several more specialized boats, but its fuel, dockage, multi-engine service and yacht-scale systems demand a correspondingly large operating budget. On the 50 SAV, that means the buyer should be able to point to the layout, propulsion or cabin advantage that will be used often enough to justify the boat’s scale.
For the 50 SAV, the buyer should decide whether its defining advantage will be used every normal weekend. Regal’s flagship sports activity vessel, with a 14-foot-7-inch beam, king aft stateroom, dual terrace doors and 700 gallons of fuel. The nearest useful Regal comparison, the 43 SAV, is 44′ 1″ long with 13′ 2″ of beam and 498 gal of fuel, so the step between them is large enough to affect storage and operating cost as well as interior room. The 50 SAV earns its price when that difference changes the day in a useful way, not simply because the model sits higher in the lineup.
The 50 SAV only makes sense as an SAV if the owner will use more than one side of the mission. Fishing systems, water access, entertainment hardware and the cabin should each solve a real part of the season. Otherwise the 50 SAV buyer is paying to carry capability that rarely leaves the dock.
The 50 SAV should also be judged against a realistic ownership day: a mixed trip that includes offshore running, fishing or diving, a sandbar stop, meal prep and an overnight. That scenario forces the 50 SAV’s cabin, seating, propulsion and storage to work at the same time instead of one feature at a time. If the 50 SAV still feels organized under that load, its premium features are solving real problems rather than adding showroom complexity.
Published factory figures. Confirm every dimension against the individual boat before you commit.
The 50 SAV carries 18° of transom deadrise on a 14′ 7″-wide hull. Draft: 29″ drive up / 49″ drive down. Published dry weight is about 33,500 lb. A real operating 50 SAV is heavier after 700 gal of fuel, freshwater where fitted, batteries, passengers and gear are added. On a 14′ 7″-wide 50 SAV, also look for signs that the boat has been supported poorly on a lift or stored with water sitting in the bilge. Run the 50 SAV into, with and across the prevailing chop.
The hull decision on the 50 SAV should be tied to the owner’s water. At 18° of deadrise and about 33,500 lb dry, the boat should be tested in the chop, current and traffic the owner sees most often. If the marina has a shallow approach or lift, the published draft of 49″ also deserves more attention than a top-speed number.
The 50 SAV’s published draft also belongs in the purchase and storage plan. With 49″ of drive-down or operating draft, the 50 SAV should be checked against the owner’s lift, canal, ramp or shallow-water route before the boat is purchased. On the 50 SAV, that clearance or access limit can matter more than a small performance gain.
Physical scale is easy to underestimate on the 50 SAV. At 50′ 5″ overall and 14′ 7″ of beam, the 50 SAV needs room not only to sit in a slip but also to be boarded, serviced and protected with fenders. Because the 50 SAV begins around 33,500 lb dry, a full 700 gal fuel load can materially change lift and haul-out calculations before gear and water are added.
The 50 SAV is built around outboard propulsion. Ask to see the 50 SAV engines cold. The benefit is most obvious on a boat with 14′ 7″ of beam and significant windage, but only when the system reacts consistently in forward, reverse and neutral.
The outboard propulsion layout is a major reason to choose the 50 SAV. The propulsion type affects transom use, service access and how the 50 SAV behaves at low speed. During the sea trial, the 50 SAV buyer should pay as much attention to docking response and midrange smoothness as to acceleration.
Outboard propulsion changes the 50 SAV’s maintenance geography. Most engine work happens at the transom, but the owner still needs room behind the 50 SAV for service and tilt. At the dock, confirm the 50 SAV’s engines can move through their full trim range without contacting the platform, piling or lift geometry.
Propulsion choice becomes clearer when the 50 SAV is compared with the 43 SAV. The 43 SAV is 44′ 1″ long, 13′ 2″ wide and 498 gal of fuel, while the 50 SAV uses outboard propulsion in a 50′ 5″ platform. That comparison helps a buyer decide whether the 50 SAV’s service routine, transom arrangement and low-speed behavior are worth choosing over the alternative.
Fuel capacity on the 50 SAV is 700 gal. Use the exact 50 SAV’s engine or helm display during the sea trial. A full 700 gal fuel load adds meaningful weight. Owners moving up to the 50 SAV should calculate infrastructure from a loaded boat rather than from the published 33,500 lb dry figure. Inspect fills, vents, filters and accessible fuel-system components on a pre-owned 50 SAV.
On the 50 SAV, 700 gal of fuel capacity is useful only when tied to a real route. Plan the common trip, record actual cruise burn on the exact 50 SAV and keep a reserve that still makes sense when wind or current changes. For the 50 SAV, that process produces a more useful answer than quoting a best-case range number.
Seasonal fuel planning for the 50 SAV should start with the trips the owner actually repeats. A 700 gal tank can support long days, but the 50 SAV’s annual fuel budget depends more on cruise hours, idle time and load than on tank size alone. Recording the 50 SAV’s real cruise burn during the sea trial gives the buyer a number that can be used in an ownership budget rather than a generic performance estimate.
The sea trial for a 50 SAV should look like ownership: fishing, diving, sandbar days, entertaining and overnight trips. Pay attention to driver workload. On the 50 SAV, performance should also be checked with Terrace Doors closed and normal sporting gear aboard so the multi-use deck is represented honestly. If a nearby Regal produces the same useful comfort with less weight, fuel or mechanical complexity, the 50 SAV has to justify why its extra capability matters to this buyer.
The useful performance question for the 50 SAV is whether the crew remains comfortable after an hour, not whether the boat can produce a dramatic top-speed run. On the 50 SAV, evaluate visibility, steering effort, noise and seating support at the cruise speeds that will make up most of the season.
The 50 SAV’s 700 gal fuel capacity and 33,500 lb dry weight also make loading discipline important. The 50 SAV will not feel identical at half fuel and full fuel, so the sea trial should be interpreted in the context of how the owner plans to depart most weekends.
The 50 SAV should be tested with passengers in the seats they will normally use, because weight location changes both ride and visibility. On the 50 SAV, the 18° transom and 14′ 7″ beam need to feel comfortable not only in a straight line but also through turns, quartering wakes and low-speed maneuvering. A good 50 SAV test drive should leave the buyer confident about the next three hours, not merely impressed by the first three minutes.
Deck fit is easier to judge with real gear aboard. Load a cooler, bags and the equipment central to the 50 SAV’s mission, then walk from bow to stern. Three features deserve a hands-on test: Terrace Door cockpit expansion, Refreshment Island and Dual-purpose sporting deck. At the 50 SAV helm, sit and stand. Finish at the stern. The 50 SAV is well integrated only when the transom still works after the boat is loaded for the day.
The 50 SAV deck is best evaluated by using terrace door cockpit expansion and refreshment island back-to-back. Those two features tell a buyer how quickly the 50 SAV changes from travel mode to social or activity mode. If the 50 SAV’s conversion feels awkward with people aboard, the feature is less useful than it looks in photography.
Three details reveal whether the 50 SAV’s deck works under pressure: terrace door cockpit expansion, refreshment island and dual-purpose sporting deck. Use those features on the 50 SAV while another passenger moves through the cockpit, then open the nearby storage and boarding access. The 50 SAV should remain easy to live with after the deck is occupied, because that is when clever design either proves itself or becomes clutter.
Side platforms expand the 50 SAV cockpit toward the water for swimming, diving and entertaining.
Grill, refrigeration, sink and storage let the 50 SAV support long social days without abandoning the open deck.
The flagship keeps fishing, diving and open-deck activity space even with a large cruising interior.
Aft-facing seating lets guests stay connected to the cockpit without occupying the working deck.
Navigation, digital switching and vessel information are centralized for a boat that may move between very different activities.
The 50 SAV carries a full-size king bed aft plus a convertible forward berth, moving the cabin into yacht territory.
External propulsion preserves interior machinery space and supports the SAV's coastal-use flexibility.
Available stabilization, connectivity and night-vision equipment can materially change comfort and operating complexity.
The systems inspection on a 50 SAV should concentrate on Terrace Door operation, fishing systems, Refreshment Island equipment, cabin systems and the way the open cockpit changes between social and sporting use. Start with batteries and charging. Voltage that looks healthy with one light on can behave very differently when the 50 SAV carries a realistic house load. Operate Mezzanine or aft social seating, King aft stateroom and Optional stabilization and technology through a complete cycle. If the 50 SAV has generator, stabilization or digital switching, leave those systems on long enough to reveal heat, communication or cooling faults. A 50 SAV that returns with new water, a cycling pump or a fresh alarm needs investigation even if every switch appeared normal at the dock.
The most expensive surprises on a 50 SAV often come from convenience systems rather than the hull itself. Test mezzanine or aft social seating, king aft stateroom and every powered latch, pump or actuator fitted to the exact boat. A premium 50 SAV feature should work repeatedly before it is counted as value.
Three 50 SAV systems are worth isolating during inspection: terrace door cockpit expansion, mezzanine or aft social seating and outboard power. Each contributes to the 50 SAV’s intended experience, so each should be operated repeatedly. On a Regal 50 SAV, premium equipment adds value only when it operates reliably.
System condition on the 50 SAV should be evaluated as an interaction, not a checklist. Run mezzanine or aft social seating while king aft stateroom and the helm electronics are active, then watch the 50 SAV’s voltage and pumps for several minutes. A healthy 50 SAV should tolerate normal simultaneous loads without unexplained resets, slow actuators or pumps that begin cycling after the crew stops using them.
The 50 SAV offers king aft stateroom plus a convertible forward berth and full-height head. Freshwater capacity is 90 gal. Run the head, faucets, shower and any water heater or pumps on the 50 SAV, then check for cycling pumps or seepage after everything is shut off. Run air conditioning where fitted, inspect around hatches and hull windows for water staining, and look behind cushions for condensation or mildew before treating the 50 SAV as ready for a weekend.
The 50 SAV’s overnight profile should be judged by the people who will actually use it: king aft stateroom plus a convertible forward berth and full-height head. A 50 SAV berth that works for one couple may not suit a family, and a day-boat layout should not be valued as though it carries a full cruiser cabin.
Storage and overnight expectations need to match the 50 SAV’s actual architecture. The reference profile for the 50 SAV is king aft stateroom plus a convertible forward berth and full-height head. If the 50 SAV will live in a slip, the owner should also account for boarding clearance, shore power where fitted, engine or drive movement and enough service access to maintain the boat without moving it every time.
Use photography to verify the details that specifications cannot show well on a 50 SAV: sightlines, passenger circulation, storage access, transom use, helm ergonomics and cabin proportions where applicable. Every image should depict the actual Regal 50 SAV, not a nearby model with a similar layout.
Propulsion history carries disproportionate weight on the 50 SAV.
Value on a 50 SAV should follow condition of the features that define it. Terrace Door cockpit expansion and Mezzanine or aft social seating matter more than decorative upgrades if they are central to how the boat is used. On a 50 SAV, a failed premium system should be priced as a repair rather than an option that still adds full value.
A used 50 SAV should be valued around the cost to make it fully usable, not merely the cost to make it look clean. On the 50 SAV, condition of terrace door cockpit expansion, mezzanine or aft social seating and the outboard propulsion package can affect first-year spending more than cosmetic differences between two examples. The strongest 50 SAV value is often the boat with fewer deferred systems, even if its asking price starts higher.

The 43 SAV is the most useful cross-shop when the buyer wants a different balance of size, propulsion or layout. It measures 44′ 1″ overall with 13′ 2″ of beam and 498 gal of fuel, compared with 50′ 5″, 14′ 7″ and 700 gal on the 50 SAV.
The Regal 50 SAV should stay on the short list only when its own mission remains clear after those comparisons.
Against the 43 SAV, the 50 SAV changes the equation from 44′ 1″ and 13′ 2″ to 50′ 5″ and 14′ 7″. The useful question is what the 50 SAV owner receives for that change: more cabin, more social deck, a different propulsion plan or easier storage. If the 50 SAV adds cost without changing the owner’s normal day, a smaller or simpler Regal deserves another sea trial.
Confirm the exact 50 SAV before negotiating. For a pre-owned 50 SAV, ask how the boat was stored, where it was used and whether propulsion service was kept on schedule. Run the 50 SAV until propulsion and major onboard systems are warm. Finish by testing the ownership plan: slip or storage, insurance, service access, annual fuel and a reserve for the systems this 50 SAV carries.
The last step on a 50 SAV should be a loaded sea trial followed by a second inspection. On the 50 SAV, heat and vibration can reveal leaks, alarms or weak electrical connections that a cold dockside walk-through will miss.
Before the 50 SAV is cleared for purchase, photograph the hull identification, propulsion serial numbers and the high-value equipment that influenced the negotiation. Match the 50 SAV’s serial numbers and installed equipment to the service file and purchase documents. That step is simple, but it prevents a buyer from financing assumptions about equipment that the exact 50 SAV does not have.
Once the Regal 50 SAV has passed the fit, condition and sea-trial checks, the buyer can evaluate financing for the actual boat.
The Regal 50 SAV fits buyers who want a true outboard-powered luxury yacht that can still fish, dive, entertain and use open activity spaces. Its main compromise is equally important: The 50 SAV can replace several more specialized boats, but its fuel, dockage, multi-engine service and yacht-scale systems demand a correspondingly large operating budget. If the 50 SAV’s compromise appears on most outings, the buyer should compare another Regal before moving forward.
The reference Regal 50 SAV figures used in this guide are 50′ 5″ overall length, 14′ 7″ beam, about 33,500 lb dry weight, 700 gal fuel capacity and 18° transom deadrise. Draft: 29″ drive up / 49″ drive down. The reference 50 SAV propulsion description is outboard propulsion. Verify the exact 50 SAV model year, installed propulsion and option content on the boat being purchased.
The Regal 50 SAV carries 700 gal of fuel. The 50 SAV’s 700 gal tank is not a guaranteed range figure. Use fuel-flow data from the exact 50 SAV at the cruise rpm the owner expects to use, then leave a reserve for weather, current, idle time and route changes.
This guide references the Regal 50 SAV with outboard propulsion. On a pre-purchase test, verify the installed engine or drive package, serial numbers, service history, steering and propeller condition. The correct propulsion package is the one that moves the loaded 50 SAV comfortably and can be supported by local service.
The Regal 50 SAV is best described as king aft stateroom plus a convertible forward berth and full-height head. Buyers planning nights aboard should test berth comfort, storage, ventilation, climate equipment, freshwater and head systems with the actual sleeping party.
Start a used Regal 50 SAV inspection with cold propulsion behavior and complete service records. Then focus on Terrace Door operation, fishing systems, Refreshment Island equipment, cabin systems and the way the open cockpit changes between social and sporting use. Operate terrace door cockpit expansion and mezzanine or aft social seating, sea-trial the boat until major systems are warm, and reopen the bilge or machinery spaces after the run.
The 43 SAV is the first comparison because it changes the ownership equation without leaving the nearby Regal range. The 50 SAV measures 50′ 5″ by 14′ 7″ and carries 700 gal of fuel; the 43 SAV measures 44′ 1″ by 13′ 2″ and carries 498 gal. Choose between the 50 SAV and its comparison model by which layout, propulsion and operating scale fit the owner’s normal trips.
