The Regal 26 Express is a compact cruiser built for fast, sociable outings on the water: a fully equipped cabin with four berths and a pantry, sun-soaked cockpit and stern sunbed, and the muscle of a Volvo Penta V8. Designed for up to eight guests, the yacht pairs comfort and power for short escapes from Luzern’s marina.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE VESSEL

A compact cruiser with serious oomph

The Regal 26 Express combines a complete cabin layout (pantry, freshwater and four berths) with performance from a Volvo Penta V8. Its dimensions and features make it a versatile day cruiser for groups up to eight.

THE DECK

Sun lounges and social cockpit

Cockpit areas are arranged for lounging and socializing: cockpit sun-lounge, bow mat and a stern sunbed extend living space on deck, while a Powertower with Bimini and stereo keep the vibe practical and relaxed.

THE PRACTICALS

Rates, capacity and booking notes

Hourly weekday rentals run 4–5 hours (pricing from CHF 800 for up to 4 hours, CHF 950 up to 5 hours). The boat is cleared for a maximum of eight people; a CHF 1,000 security deposit (self-insured excess) is required and return times can be limited (return until 20:00 in high season).

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

Expect a short, concentrated day on the water: boarding at the marina, a few hours of cruising and sunbathing from the cockpit and sun pads, then a timely return. The Regal’s cabin and pantry let you stretch the outing into a comfortable half-day, while the V8 engine gives the trip a purposeful, capable feel.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Small groups & friendsWell suited: groups up to eight seeking a comfortable half‑day aboard a powered cruiser with lounge and swim facilities.
2
Couples seeking a short escapeA good match for couples who want a compact, amenity‑rich boat for a weekday outing with options for sunbathing and light provisioning.
3
Weekend party plannersNot ideal: the Stundenmiete (hourly rental) option is only available on weekdays, so weekend bookings for short rentals are not possible.
4
Those averse to security depositsNot recommended for travelers unwilling to provide the CHF 1,000 security deposit (self‑insured excess) required by the operator.
