REGENT Announces Seaglider Order from Private Member Club ‘XXV’ for U.S. East Coast, Deliveries as Early as 2027

REGENT Craft has announced a 30-strong order for its 12-seater Viceroy Seaglid­er from ‘XXV,’ a pri­vate mem­bers club that offers inno­v­a­tive expe­ri­ences cen­tered around pre­mier coastal des­ti­na­tions.

XXV plans to begin Seaglid­er oper­a­tions on the U.S. East Coast, with an ini­tial focus on the North­east and Flori­da, serv­ing routes includ­ing New York to the Hamp­tons, Boston to Nan­tuck­et, Palm Beach to Mia­mi, and Mia­mi to the Bahamas. REGENT will deliv­er the first Seaglid­er ves­sels to XXV as ear­ly as 2027.

The agree­ment also marks a new cat­e­go­ry of Seaglid­er cus­tomer, high­light­ing demand from mobil­i­ty oper­a­tors seek­ing faster, more seam­less, and more ele­vat­ed con­nec­tiv­i­ty between coastal hubs.

Bil­ly Thal­heimer, co-founder and CEO of REGENT, said: “We designed Seaglid­er ves­sels to remove fric­tion from coastal trav­el, and XXV is apply­ing that capa­bil­i­ty to cre­ate a mem­ber expe­ri­ence cen­tered on our shared goals of con­ve­nience, com­fort, and con­nec­tion.

“This part­ner­ship allows us to bring the ben­e­fits of Seaglid­er ves­sels direct­ly to XXV mem­bers, offer­ing a more seam­less and enjoy­able way to expe­ri­ence coastal des­ti­na­tions.”

The Viceroy ves­sel is designed for con­ve­nient, com­fort­able dock-to-dock trav­el. Pas­sen­gers board direct­ly at the water’s edge, then the craft ris­es onto hydro­foils to offer a high-speed, smooth ride through busy ports, before fly­ing just above the water on a cush­ion of air in ground effect at speeds up to 180 miles per hour for routes up to 180 miles.

The inte­ri­or of the cab­in fea­tures high ceil­ings and large win­dows, and the unique all-elec­tric Seaglid­er oper­a­tions ensure a qui­eter, smoother ride com­pared to oth­er exist­ing and emerg­ing trans­porta­tion options.

Head­quar­tered in South­ern Con­necti­cut, XXV is a pri­vate mem­bers club ded­i­cat­ed to cre­at­ing and launch­ing inno­v­a­tive expe­ri­ences cen­tered on pre­mier coastal des­ti­na­tions. XXV mem­bers and qual­i­fied mem­bers of the pub­lic will gain access to new stan­dards in coastal mobil­i­ty, access, and expe­ri­en­tial liv­ing.

Jamie Pet­ty, co-founder, XXV, added: “Our part­ner­ship will enable us to deliv­er a unique pas­sen­ger expe­ri­ence that reclaims time and cre­ates space for more mean­ing­ful moments between des­ti­na­tions.”

XXV will announce a high-pro­file U.S. oper­a­tor in the com­ing months.
