The Role: Director of Team Member Services

Meet Regal Boats: 

At Regal, we design and build a wide variety of forms, functions, styles and sizes. So you can find the perfect boat to complement the lifestyle you lead today—and the one you’ll have later on. From a 22-foot wakesurfing bowrider to a 50-foot sport yacht, you’ll experience the same top-tier quality, unique innovations, luxury and expert craftsmanship in every Regal.

In 1969, Paul and Carol Kuck founded Regal Boats with a vision and passion in heart, they formed a family buisness and defined a new standard in boating luxury. However, despite the couple’s drive and determination, their journey was not immune to setbacks. 

In 1973, the energy crisis cost the Kucks most of their original investment. Still, Paul and Carol persevered and placed their future in the hands of God. “Whatever happens from this time forward,” Paul prayed, “is because of You.” With God’s help and their steadfast faith, the Kuck family was able to begin again. 

Together, they made Regal Boats a company where innovation and customer satisfaction were elevated. More than fifty years later, the story proves to be a successful one.

Today, Regal is synonymous with state-of-the-art craftsmanship. Our team remains as unified, strong and family-focused as our founders were in 1969. And even as we continue to thrive, the ever-growing Regal Boats family carries Paul and Carol’s founding philosophy that faith and stewardship will always guide the way.

Bonded by water – Regal Boats is not as much a boat builder as it is a family who, for generations, has forged lasting memories for our Regal owners.
