The Future of Maritime Transportation is Electrifying
Coastal commuters, get ready for a game-changing transportation revolution! UrbanLink, a South Florida-based innovative transportation company, has made a bold move by purchasing 27 electric seagliders from Regent Craft, signaling a significant leap forward in sustainable maritime travel.
Breaking Down the Viceroy Seaglider
These aren’t your grandfather’s ferries. The Viceroy sea gliders are cutting-edge maritime marvels that promise to transform coastal transportation:
- Speed: Cruising at an impressive 180 mph
- Capacity: 12 passengers plus two crew members
- Range: 180 miles on a single electric charge
- Design: Low-flying vessels that skim just feet above the water
Why Seagliders Matter
Sustainable Transportation
UrbanLink is committed to zero-emission solutions, expanding beyond their existing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft network. These seagliders represent a crucial step in green transportation innovation.
