Designs and manufactures electric coastal transport vehicles

About REGENT

Regent Craft focuses on improving coastal transportation with its all-electric vehicles called Seagliders. These vehicles fly just above the water's surface, allowing them to travel at speeds of up to 180 mph while producing no emissions. They can cover distances of up to 180 miles, making them a fast and efficient alternative to traditional ferries and planes. Regent Craft primarily serves coastal areas and island communities, partnering with commuter airlines and ferry operators to enhance travel options. Unlike its competitors, Regent Craft utilizes existing dock infrastructure, which simplifies the transition to its services. The company's goal is to connect communities while reducing carbon emissions and making transportation more affordable and resilient.
