Hopefully everyone has had an enjoyable week thus far. We’re bringing you a review of the Monteverde Regatta Fountain Pen this week, and it’s one we’re excited about. Monteverde is a great company that makes pens that range from a beginner level, to collector level. One thing they are known for is making pens that look great, and that don’t break the budget.
Continue reading below for your chance to win the Monteverde Regatta Fountain Pen that we used in this review.
Appearance
The Monteverde Regatta Fountain Pen is regularly available in 5 colors, but is also available in the Monteverde Regatta Limited Edition Northern Lights fountain pen color. Pictured in this review is the Blue Carbon color. The barrel and the cap have alternating bands of colored metal and carbon fiber, that come together to make a stunning look. Each color Regatta also comes with a black nib to match the black carbon fiber. All in all, it’s a great looking pen.
Qualities
One great quality of the Monteverde Regatta Fountain Pen is the magnetic cap. The cap removes easily, stays secure, and even can be posted. While posted, the magnetic cap will attach to the back end of the body. The Regatta is a very affordable all-metal pen and takes standard international cartridges and converters, and even comes with a converter and two ink cartridges. One thing to consider is that this is a heavy pen. It weighs almost 2 oz.! For those of you who like some good heft, this is a pen for you!
Performance
We, of course, had to put this pen to the test. For this review, we used the Blue Carbon Monteverde Regatta Fountain Pen with a Medium Nib. Also, we used KWZ El Dorado ink for this review. The nib on this pen worked great, right out of the box. The medium nib laid down a nice wet line, and we were able to produce some great shading. Writing was also very nice and smooth, with just a touch of feedback.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Monteverde Regatta Series Fountain Pen is a great pen for beginners, or for collectors. If you’re looking for a hefty pen, or for an innovative capping system, the Regatta is for you! Please don’t forget to comment below and to share this with your friends!

Nice review. Care to tackle the Conklin Duragraph next?
This pen looks to be another winner from Monteverde. I’d like to see a review of J. Herbin’s Amythiste de l’Oural ink.
I love how the colors on the barrel alternate!
The Regatta is a nice looking pen. I’m curious how it writes though.
Awesome pen!! Really like the blue colours!! Would love to win it! Thank you for the chance! God Bless & Love You Bunches!!!
Great looking pen!
Thanks for the review and opportunity to win.
Thank you! This was one of the pens that I was considering buying…
Blue is my favourite color
I love the pattern on the body!
That blue carbon looks awesome!
Handsome pen.
Black and blue, always a great color combo.
Want to try a Monteverde nib. This pen is a heavy one, right?
And does the body jutting out right above the grip section affect the comfort at all?
Gorgeous gorgeous pen! I’d love to see that magnetic cap in action in real life 😉
That certainly is a beautiful pen anyone should enjoy using. Would you explain urishi pens? Is that different than Chinese lacquer?
Nice looking pen!
Thanks for the review.
This pen looks like fun… love it!
Ooh I like a hefty pen. I’ll be hopeful. Thanks.
The blue, carbon fiber, and metal look of this pen makes quite the impression.
Reminds me of a swords handle. Neat!
interesting looking pen
Very beautiful pen, love the blue accents!!
This pen is unique for sure!
Looks like a very short pen unposted.
This is such a cool pen ! I’d love to try it out !!
I’ve seen a couple reviews of these and the magnetic cap looks interesting.
My favorite ink is Diamine Lilac Satin.
looks great and different for my taste. hope i get it.
I have a first generation Regatta. The new one looks lovely. Looking forward to more reviews of KWZ inks.
I’d be interested in seeing a review of the Duraflex if you can get a review copy.
