Regal began in 1969 and is a family run business which has been running for 40 years. It all began in western Ohio when Paul Kuck was working within a steel building firm, where he first gained the knowledge and skills he needed to create a successful business. After a move to Florida with his wife Carol Kuck and also a lot of deliberation they decided to start their own boating company with their life savings and also investment partners Clark Prudhon and Gene Kandel.

The first regal boat which they produced was the 21 ft cuddy followed by a 16 ft tri-hull and then a 14 ft runabout and they choose the name regal which would reflect essence and quality. These Regal boats where produced in Orlando in a small production facility, and slowly the boats began to sell.

In 1973 an energy crisis hit the country, and also the Regal boats company, eventually within the year most of their orders for boats were cancelled. After two years of struggling and the will never to give up in 1976 the energy crisis had passed and Regal Boats had managed to survive with sales of $800,000. They purchased a production facility in South Orlando. In 1976 Regal boats received their first international order which was a 24 ft cuddy for an Australian importer.
