Emerging technology is set to redefine regional transit between major metropolitan hubs and seasonal resort enclaves. Private experience club XXV has partnered with maritime aviation pioneer Regent Craft to acquire a fleet of 30 all-electric “Viceroy” Seagliders, paving the way for ultra-fast, zero-emission watercraft transit linking New York City directly to the Hamptons, alongside coastal corridors connecting South Florida, Boston, and the Bahamas.
Combining the operational flexibility of a vessel with the velocity of an aircraft, these wing-in-ground-effect craft glide meters above the ocean surface at speeds reaching 180 miles per hour. Designed for seamless dockside embarkation, the 12-passenger craft leverage battery-electric propulsion to eliminate tailpipe emissions and dramatically reduce acoustic footprints, offering a quiet, low-vibration alternative to traditional helicopters and regional ferries.
As demand accelerates for sustainable transit alternatives across heavily congested coastal corridors, this large-scale fleet acquisition highlights a broader shift toward electrified maritime logistics. By establishing direct aquatic express routes that bypass airport check-ins and highway gridlock, the initiative demonstrates how advanced aerospace engineering can unlock cleaner, more efficient mobility for luxury coastal destinations.
