REGENT Announces Seaglider Order from Synerjet to Transform Coastal Transportation in Latin America

REGENT Craft has announced an order for 10 Seaglid­er ves­sels from Brazil­ian firm Syn­er­jet, expand­ing the com­pa­ny’s glob­al cus­tomer base and under­scor­ing grow­ing demand for its high-speed, all-elec­tric coastal trans­porta­tion solu­tion. 

In a press release released yes­ter­day (Thurs­day), both com­pa­nies will now work close­ly to define ini­tial oper­at­ing mar­kets and infra­struc­ture plans in the com­ing months. REGENT expects to deliv­er the first Seaglid­er ves­sels to Syn­er­jet as ear­ly as 2029. 

Bil­ly Thal­heimer, co-founder and CEO of REGENT, said: “Syn­er­jet under­stands the expec­ta­tions of cus­tomers who val­ue speed, reli­a­bil­i­ty, and an ele­vat­ed trav­el expe­ri­ence. Seaglid­er ves­sels are pur­pose-built to meet those expec­ta­tions, and this order reflects the grow­ing role Seaglid­ers will play in con­nect­ing coastal regions more effi­cient­ly and sus­tain­ably.” 

Syn­er­jet has a well-estab­lished pres­ence in Latin Amer­i­ca and the Caribbean, offer­ing com­pre­hen­sive mobil­i­ty solu­tions with region­al oper­a­tions and con­tin­u­ous cus­tomer sup­port, while also rep­re­sent­ing oth­er strong glob­al mar­ket brands. 

With over 32,000 km of coast­line, glob­al coastal hubs such as Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, and more than two mil­lion pas­sen­gers trav­el­ing between Seaglid­er-acces­si­ble routes per year, Latin Amer­i­ca is a prime mar­ket for enhanced coastal mobil­i­ty. 

Fabio Rebel­lo, CEO, Syn­er­jet, said: “REGENT’s Seaglid­er rep­re­sents a com­pelling new cat­e­go­ry of mobil­i­ty. By com­bin­ing air­craft-like speed with dock-to-dock con­ve­nience and zero-emis­sion oper­a­tions, Seaglid­ers allow us to expand our ser­vice offer­ing and unlock new region­al routes that were pre­vi­ous­ly imprac­ti­cal or under­served.” 

The Viceroy Seaglid­er ves­sel offers direct shore­line board­ing, smooth hydro­foil tran­sit, and high-speed wing-in-ground-effect flight, pair­ing air­craft-like per­for­mance with a qui­et, all-elec­tric ride in a bright, spa­cious cab­in.  

A dual-use com­pa­ny based in Rhode Island, U.S., REGENT has secured glob­al com­mer­cial orders val­ued at more than $10 bil­lion from lead­ing air­line and fer­ry oper­a­tors around the world, as well as $15 mil­lion in con­tracts with the U.S. Marine Corps.

REGENT has raised more than $100 mil­lion from investors includ­ing 8090 Indus­tries, Founders Fund, Japan Air­lines, and Lock­heed Mar­tin.
