An Owner’s Story: Steve Schiavo

For Steve Schiavo of Barrington, Rhode Island, that boat is a 2019 Regulator 41 - which he uses for everything from chasing tuna and swordfish offshore to cruising Block Island, Cuttyhunk, and Martha’s Vineyard with family.

After running a Regulator 34SS for years, Steve was on the hunt for a new ride. Since he was going bigger, he wanted to do his due diligence. He set to comparing the Regulator 41 to other boats including SeaVee, Contender, Grady-White, and Yellowfin - but the decision to stay with Regulator was an easy one.

“I wanted a boat that was not only an excellent fishing platform, but also provided the best reliability and quality ride in any sea conditions,” he says.

With the range, ride, and efficiency he needs for serious canyon runs, the Regulator 41 gives him the confidence to fish hard and go far.

Back in Narragansett Bay, the same boat transforms into the ultimate family boat for swimming, relaxing on the bow, and spending long summer days on the water. Features like the SureShade, bow seating, and cabin space make it easy for everyone onboard to stay comfortable, whether they’re heading out for the afternoon or spending a full day exploring.

Having owned a wide range of boats over the years, Steve puts it simply: “Regulator is in a class by itself.” For him, that inspires confidence. And whether he’s offshore in the canyons or making memories closer to home, that’s what makes all the difference.
