The FIM 500 Regina is the flagship of a young Italian yard that has made a fast name for itself with sharp, cinematic walkaround cruisers. At 16.10 metres she is the largest Regina yet, and the clearest statement of the line’s design language: a long, unbroken sheer, a near-vertical bow and acres of glass that keep the sea close from every seat on board. The cockpit is the heart of the boat. A generous dining area converts to a flat sunbed when the backrests fold away, while drop-down side terraces widen the deck at anchor and a lifting swim platform makes the water easy to reach. A garage under the aft sundeck swallows the tender, keeping the bathing area clear. Below, the layout favours quality over cabin count. Two full suites, the owner’s aft and a guest forward, each with private bathroom and generous storage, give both couples aboard the same sense of space and privacy. Natural light pours through hull and superstructure glazing. Power comes from twin Volvo Penta IPS, 550hp as standard and 600hp on option, for easy joystick handling and relaxed, efficient cruising. Built in composite and certified to CE category B, the 500 Regina suits an owner who wants a distinctive, design-led dayboat with real weekend range and the presence of a much larger yacht.

Twin Volvo Penta IPS drive the 500 Regina, rated at 550hp each as standard and 600hp on option. The pod format brings forward-facing propellers, low vibration and joystick docking, the combination that has made the system a default for cruisers of this size. On a planing composite hull of around 17.5 tonnes, the standard engines deliver confident, efficient cruising, with the 600hp option on hand for owners who want more margin in a sea or a heavier specification. Fuel is carried in two 750 litre tanks for a useful coastal range. The payoff of the pod installation is as much refinement as speed: quieter running at a cruise, a cleaner engine room and the precise close-quarters control that makes a 16 metre boat feel manageable for a short-handed crew.
The exterior is where the Regina line earns its reputation, and the 500 is the fullest expression of it. A long, low profile, a near-plumb bow and continuous glazing give her a taut, purposeful stance in the marina. The walkaround deck is more than a styling cue: side decks flow cleanly forward to a bow lounge, where a sliding sunpad section opens a sheltered seating area. Aft, drop-down terraces on both sides transform the cockpit into a wide sea-level platform, and the lifting swim platform doubles as tender launch and bathing step. A garage beneath the aft sundeck keeps the toys out of sight. Every exterior choice serves time spent outdoors, at anchor and in contact with the water.
Below deck the 500 Regina trades cabin count for comfort. The accommodation is arranged as two independent suites. The owner’s cabin sits aft, a private retreat separated from the rest of the interior, with an en suite whose glazed shower enclosure keeps the space feeling open. Forward, a second full suite adds a walk-in wardrobe, a vanity area and its own bathroom with separate shower. The result is a layout where guests travel in the same conditions as the owner, rather than in a token second cabin. Light is a constant presence, drawn in through hull windows and the superstructure glazing that defines the whole boat.
Life aboard the 500 Regina happens in the cockpit and on deck. The central dining area is built to flex: fold the backrests and it becomes a single flat sunbathing surface, raise them and it seats a full table for lunch. With both side terraces lowered the social zone spills right out over the water, and the forward lounge offers a quieter alternative away from the action. The helm sits well forward under the hardtop, keeping the driver connected to the guests rather than isolated. For a boat of this length, the sheer amount of usable outdoor living space is the headline, and it is what owners of the smaller Reginas tend to move up the range to find.
The 500 Regina is built in composite at FIM’s yard at Cividate al Piano, near Bergamo, and certified to CE design category B for offshore coastal use. A generator, 8kW as standard and 11kW on option, supports time at anchor, and the two-suite layout keeps systems and maintenance proportionate to a boat run by its owners. As the flagship of a current production line, she is available new to specification, with the Volvo IPS engine choice the main performance decision. Indicative pricing sits around 1.1 million euros for a standard boat, with well-equipped examples climbing toward 1.5 million. For the buyer, the appeal is clear: the most distinctive styling in her class, strong Italian build quality and the presence of a larger yacht in a package a couple can handle.
