A new era of transportation is on the horizon, and South Florida and Puerto Rico are set to be at the forefront. UrbanLink Air Mobility will soon be offering a revolutionary mode of travel: the Viceroy seaglider.
This electric, zero emissions vessel combines the best of both worlds, blending the capabilities of an aircraft with those of a boat. Its unique design allows it to take off from water, transition to hydrofoil mode, and then soar above the waves, offering a smooth and efficient journey.
The seaglider represents a significant step towards a future where electric air and water vehicles replace traditional forms of transportation. With its ability to operate without emissions and at high speeds, the seaglider offers a sustainable and efficient solution for both short and long-distance travel.
As UrbanLink prepares to launch its seaglider operations in 2027, passengers in South Florida and Puerto Rico will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the future of transportation.
By strategically utilizing existing dock infrastructure and seamlessly integrating with other electric vehicles, these innovative seagliders will significantly enhance connectivity, accelerate the adoption of electric transportation, and contribute to a broader vision of a more sustainable and efficient future.
A recent survey and feasibility study conducted in Miami underscored the strong demand for seaglider services, highlighting the potential for these vessels to revolutionize coastal travel. With the Viceroy set to enter service in 2027, followed by the larger Monarch model, Regent is poised to lead the way in this exciting new era of transportation.
The introduction of these seagliders not only promises to provide a more convenient and environmentally friendly mode of travel but also lays the groundwork for the development of a comprehensive network of sustainable transportation options.
