The point of the back deck on a cruising yacht like this is to allow unimpeded access to the water. The manufacturers clearly didn’t know this or else they would have mounted the engines forward of the deck
Thank you MBY a nice show of this show off this Regal 42FXO Flybridge with outboards very nice beautiful boat but why not with Diesel outboards or even better with Electric outboards that would really spectacular but a nice show thanks
Remember this is being shown in Miami. In the US market, gasoline (petrol) outboards are the norm, and even a boat of this size with inboards might have gasoline engines. Also, Diesel outboards are quite new and don't yet reach these horsepower levels. Electric outboards same, but more so.
The fisheye was very distracting. I agree with other commenters, MB&Y needs to pay more attention to how these are filmed. Boattest does a much better review so look there for performance info. There are other outboard motor boats with flybridges.
That camera lens is just slightly too fish eye to be appealing to watch. Once again take advice from that nice Mr Burnham and use the kit he uses. Crisper and easier to watch. And sadly a fairly uninspiring yacht.
Do where for you keep the dinghy, obviously no tender. But with the outboards it's too much wake to tow it. Guess this is only for island hopping or hanging out then. Yes I am joking. Cool boat. Would be cool to see what was in the space where the engines would be. I imagine a way bigger fuel tank since you'll need it. Nobody ever talks about range when discussing a boat that you can get as outboards or diesel and the differences between them.
Hi Nick There are a number of benefits over a diesel powered variant. Diesel in the US is the same price as Gasoline. The boat also has a much higher cruise and top speed vs is diesel variant. 43 knots vs 34 knots so a much higher efficient cruising speed and burns less fuel at the effective cruise speed of the diesel version. The servicing costs are about 40 percent less. But it is a more expensive boat to start with. Those 425’s are very quiet also. I haven’t driven a high volume hull powered by outboards yet so I can’t comment on how it rides or handles, but I am understanding the mind set behind these boat’s.
Would be great with diesel outboard diesel and a big storage room. Petrol is not easy to get in marinas where I live. Similar on MF1095 fly, antaras 11 fly.
Im sorry but this whole trend of putting OBs on heavy boats with drafts > 3 ft is silly. With outboards, there’s nowhere to store a dingy, and with no dingy how are you supposed to get ashore without a proper dock? Realistic anchoring depth is 5-6ft. Im not beaching a million dollar boat that weighs 15 tons…
Looking on Regal's site, I see there's a huge storage area under the cockpit sole. It's not a tender garage, but you could easily put a deflated inflatable dinghy in there. Several shots on their site show it nearly beached, too. I think this is very much a US-market boat. I'm not a cruiser guy, but I see plenty of marinas here full of boats with no visible means of storing a dinghy. I suspect that, to the extent they're used as more than day boats (which may not be often), they're taken to places with docks or water taxis. Or they're just anchored in a cove as a base for water play, with no intent of going ashore. Also re beaching, we have much lower tidal swings here than you have in the UK.
Perhaps for the US market where quality and aesthetics mean nothing to the consumer. Three loud, thirsty and rather unsightly outboard engines will not do it in Europe. Pass.
Can I ask what would make it better if it was electric? Genuine question. Is battery energy density that of gasoline in this case? Are there charging points on marinas, or would you just plug it into shore supply as per normal? I’m truly intrigued. I’ve yet to be convinced to get an electric car and would love to know the arguments for and against electric on water.
@@PhilbyFavourites hi, my view is that where the engine would normally be that they could put a very small one and fill the rest of the space with battery packs. Put a hard top on the flybridge and solar panels, to help charge. You would just plug it into normal shore power when at Dock. Right now you can't get high speed easily with battery, but no to little fuel cost, the small back up engine would be to help in emergency and if battery needed a top up on long journey. Benefits to wildlife, massive reduction in noise, reduction in polition as well. Also once the blades can be moved into the back of boat, less likely to hurt sea life with a propeller.
Beneteau Antares 11 flybridge is outboard powered and has been around for quite a while. So this definitely isn't the first of its kind.
Same for the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1095 and the Parker 110 Monaco, which is bigger than the Antares.
merry fisher 1095 fly?
yeah,Beneteauand Jeanneau has had an outboard fly for awhile.
*Motor Boat & Yachting* Very nice, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us. God Bless.
Hi Elliot. Nice lines, sporty and practical. A flybridge with outboard will be a trend for others to mimic. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊
Thanks Chris appreciated
I love this boat.
Walked right past the "no bow access" sign, love it
Seems amazing
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

What about the Jeanneau NC 1095 FB ?
what a nice boat man 🥰

That being said, I just looked at Regal's site, and the inboard version of THIS boat gets IPS diesels.
Very nice indeed 👌
What about ANTARES 11 FLY? Too small to be called yacht?
Looks nice. But, definitely isn’t a first. Try Jeanneau’s merryfisher 1095 fly with twin 300hp Yamahas. Sleeps 8 and easily does 35knots.
The fisheye was very distracting. I agree with other commenters, MB&Y needs to pay more attention to how these are filmed. Boattest does a much better review so look there for performance info. There are other outboard motor boats with flybridges.
Merry fisher 1059 fly is outboard powered!!
We have an outboard powered flybridge on the lancaster canal England and have so for 10 years.
That camera lens is just slightly too fish eye to be appealing to watch.
Once again take advice from that nice Mr Burnham and use the kit he uses. Crisper and easier to watch.

Worlds first? Really?
Whats the bridge clearance on that?
Petrol outboard is in EU economically totally not an option or does it come with a diesel option also?
Yes, the 42 fly as has twin D6 Volvo’s on IPS drives
how is this the first?
What about the Parker Monaco FlyBridge 11 ?
How about Parker 110 fly bridge
1275hp from petrol engines? Any savings on maintenance are gone in extra fuel costs surely?

That's a poor camera choice - too wide-angle, it makes everything look distorted and makes it hard to gauge the real size of the boat.

It's a FAD. Surprised it didn't was not also a bowrider too.
Looking on Regal's site, I see there's a huge storage area under the cockpit sole. It's not a tender garage, but you could easily put a deflated inflatable dinghy in there. Several shots on their site show it nearly beached, too.

First? What about the Merry Fisher 1095?
If had Mercury’s I’d watch the video.
Dude there's lots if outboard flybridge boats lol
Upgrade your knowledge, not the first by far, Jeanneau 1095 for instance.
generator, a/c, range/fuel economy? not a good walk through at all
Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1095 Fly…….. 🙄
The boat has less space than one with inboard motors. I would have expected more.
Perhaps for the US market where quality and aesthetics mean nothing to the consumer. Three loud, thirsty and rather unsightly outboard engines will not do it in Europe. Pass.
The major downside is the fuel economy compared to Diesel!
Please don't use wide angle lenses for videos like this. It gives bad viewing experience with the fish eye effect.
Would be great if this could be electric, lovely boat though
Can I ask what would make it better if it was electric?

@@jaffaholland4039 what is the point of creating an electric option on a small planing yacht🤣
Seems very silly
