Seaglider: The Future of Coastal Travel Takes Shape

In 2025, REGENT Craft made big strides in developing Seaglider vessels. These aren't your average boats. They're electric, fast, and designed to glide over water like a plane. The year started with testing the Viceroy prototype. This full-scale model has been in the water almost every day. It's not just about testing; it's about proving that Seagliders can work in real-world conditions. REGENT also expanded its patent portfolio. They now have over 50 patents worldwide. This means they're leading the way in Seaglider technology. Demand for Seagliders grew a lot in 2025. People in places like Hawaii, Brazil, and the UAE are interested. These vessels aren't just for passengers. They can also deliver cargo and help with offshore energy projects. REGENT also made progress in getting Seagliders certified. They submitted a design basis agreement to the U. S. Coast Guard. This is a big step towards making Seagliders a standard mode of transport.On the defense side, REGENT launched a new business line called REGENT Defense. They're working with the U. S. Marine Corps Warfighting Lab. This shows that Seagliders have potential in military operations. REGENT's new production facility is almost ready. It's a huge 255, 000-square-foot space in Rhode Island. This facility will be the hub for building Seagliders for customers worldwide. The company also grew its team to over 100 members. This diverse group of experts is crucial for REGENT's progress. They're working on everything from engineering to manufacturing. Looking ahead, 2026 is set to be a big year. REGENT plans to fly a full-scale Seaglider with a human crew. They're also ready to start production. This could change the way we think about coastal travel.
