UrbanLink has increased its order for Regent Craft’s all-electric seagliders to 47 Viceroys, up from the 27 it ordered last September. The South Florida advanced air mobility start-up plans to use the Viceroy vehicles to transport passengers in South Florida and Puerto Rico, with first deliveries expected in 2027.

The Viceroy seaglider is a wing-in-ground-effect craft designed to carry a dozen passengers on regional coastal trips of up to 180 miles, soaring emissions-free just above the water’s surface at a speed of 160 knots. Regent, which is based in Rhode Island, says the Viceroy will offer a faster, affordable, and more sustainable alternative to short-haul air travel and existing ferry services.
