REGENT

REGENT is a company that builds all electric Seaglider vessels. The Seaglider is a wing in ground effect craft that flies just above the water. The site says the craft is made for fast, safe coastal travel between coastal cities. It says the craft operates over water on its hull, hydrofoils or wings. The site says the vessels are built to the same safety standards as modern aircraft and watercraft.

The site says the Seaglider can run 180 miles at 180 mph with current batteries. It says next generation batteries could allow routes up to 400 miles. It says the craft can use existing dock infrastructure and stay near a safe landing site. The site claims it can cost about half the price of an aircraft ticket.

The site says REGENT has customers, investors and partners in the ferry, airline and logistics business. It lists partner work in North America, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, Asia, Oceania and South America. It says it has strategic and financial investors.

The company's defense line is called REGENT Defense. The site says the company secured a $20 million U.S. Marine Corps contract. It describes American made Seaglider vessels that address a national security need.

The site says the company has raised over $340 million from investors. It reports a Series B round of $240 million to scale Seaglider manufacturing. The founders are CEO Billy Thalheimer and CTO Mike Klinker. The leadership team includes people with past roles at Tesla, Northvolt and Byton. The site says the investors include some who also back SpaceX, Anduril and Archer Aviation.

The site has a newsroom, a careers page, a media kit and an FAQ. In September 2026 it announced the first human crewed Seaglider flight. The site lists Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube accounts. The address field lists Rhode Island, with no street address.
