Regent
Regent is a Maritime & Undersea Systems company founded in 2020 and based in North Kingstown, United States. It has raised $327M in total funding, most recently a Growth in 2026.
Regent was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in North Kingstown, United States. The company manufactures the Viceroy Seaglider, an all-electric wing-in-ground-effect vehicle that operates in three modes—hull displacement, hydrofoil, and ground-effect flight—at speeds up to 180 mph. The vehicle is 55 feet long with a 65-foot wingspan and carries 12 passengers or 3,500 pounds of payload up to 180 miles per charge. In March 2025, the U.S. Marine Corps awarded Regent $10 million to develop low-radar-cross-section military variants for high-speed coastal logistics and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in contested littoral environments. Full-scale sea trials began in 2025. Regent has raised $327 million in total capital, including a $240 million Growth-stage round announced in August 2026.
Regent addresses a strategic gap in maritime defense capability: high-speed, efficient over-water transportation and surveillance systems for littoral operations. The $10 million Marine Corps contract and full-scale sea trial deployment signal validation of the Viceroy platform for U.S. military logistics and ISR missions. The $240 million Growth funding announced in August 2026 demonstrates investor confidence in scaling production of both commercial and military variants, positioning Regent as a primary supplier of electric maritime systems to defense customers.
