REGENT Craft, the developer and manufacturer of all-electric seagliders, today announced a major expansion of its partnership with UrbanLink Air Mobility, a South Florida-based advanced air and maritime mobility company. UrbanLink has increased its order of REGENT Viceroy seagliders to 47, from the 27 announced last fall, positioning Florida as a national leader in next-generation coastal mobility.
“The expanded order will support the rapid rollout of UrbanLink’s operations across South Florida and Puerto Rico, with anticipated first deliveries in 2027, according to a company press release.
With this expanded fleet, the company will be able to offer high-frequency service across some of the most heavily trafficked short-haul routes in the United States. Seaglider operations based in Miami could serve up to 4.3 million passengers each year.
Seagliders will provide:
- Drastically reduced travel times, e.g., Miami to West Palm Beach in 35 minutes
- Market-driven, all-electric transportation alternatives
- Congestion relief for overburdened highways and airports
- Lower operating and infrastructure costs than traditional aircraft or ferries
This announcement comes as REGENT’s full-scale Viceroy prototype continues successful sea trials and the company advances toward U.S. Coast Guard certification.
