The Seaglider ushers in a new era of transportation
The Seaglider, developed by Regent, operates in three distinct modes: float, hydrofoil and fly. This unique design allows it to transition seamlessly from leaving the dock to soaring above the water at low altitudes.
With a range exceeding 180 miles and potential future enhancements that could extend this to 500 miles per charge, the Seaglider presents a compelling case for sustainable travel in the region. The initiative's feasibility studies suggest that one-way tickets could cost as little as $30, making it an affordable option for residents and visitors alike.

Benefits of the Seaglider
Seagliders offer a revolutionary approach to interisland travel in Hawaii, presenting significant advantages over traditional transportation methods. With substantially lower operating costs and simpler infrastructure requirements, seagliders can be easily integrated into existing transportation networks, making them an excellent complement to current interisland options.
By operating over water, seagliders can provide a cost-effective solution for connecting rural communities to essential services such as medical care, job opportunities and educational facilities.
Additionally, seagliders can be adapted for cargo transportation, allowing for the efficient movement of food supplies, medical equipment and other essential goods between islands. By streamlining the supply chain and reducing transportation costs, seagliders could contribute to lowering the overall cost of goods in Hawaii.
