Quality is our signature
A commitment to quality, detail, and consistency since day one.
Our founders Joan & Owen Maxwell started Regulator in an abandoned A&P Grocery Store in Edenton, North Carolina, when they were just 28 and 30 years old. As avid boaters and anglers themselves, they wanted to build a center console boat that exceeded all expectations.
So day after day, and night after night, they built a full-scale model of the first Regulator 26 by hand, personally testing and tweaking every little detail until they knew it was right. This was the beginning of a commitment to detail and consistency that continues today with an incredible team of experts in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Edenton…just down the street from the old A&P.
Our
Craftsmanship
Our talented team of engineers and expert boat builders execute every step of the build in meticulous detail to handcraft the Regulator you deserve.
Quality isn’t just about one thing—it’s the space where design, functionality, and durability come together. The tests we run, the processes we maintain, and the enhancements we make are made with purpose. This approach means that when we integrate new features, we do it without compromise. And we never sacrifice the fit, finish and ride that make a Regulator, a Regulator.
