TWANTY FIVE

What TWANTY FIVE does

The Twenty Five Corporation (The Twenty Five) is a privately held US luxury coastal travel membership company headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. The company operates a selective, subscription-based membership that grants access to a fleet of all-electric REGENT Viceroy Seagliders — wing-in-ground-effect vessels that transition across float, foil, and fly modes and reach speeds of up to 180 mph while flying approximately 30 feet above the water surface. Members use these vessels for point-to-point coastal transit between resort and city destinations, supported by a curated "shore-to-door" experience connecting flights to residences, hotels, and luxury accommodations.

The Twenty Five's core offering centers on two products: the membership itself (which provides recurring access to the global Seaglider fleet and curated experiences) and the REGENT Viceroy Seaglider, which is sourced through a purchase agreement with REGENT Craft covering up to 60 vessels, with deliveries anticipated beginning in 2027. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, operates with a staff of 1-10, and is co-founded by Neill Etheridge and Jaime Petty. Its go-to-market is selective and quote-based, with the website offering separate inquiry paths for prospective members and prospective investors rather than publicly listed pricing.

Commercially, the company has positioned itself for launch across four initial coastal corridors — New York to the Hamptons, Boston to Nantucket, Palm Beach to Miami, and Miami to the Bahamas — covering the US Northeast, Southeast, and the Bahamas. On March 24, 2026, The Twenty Five announced an exclusive maritime operating partnership with Hornblower Group, delegating vessel operations, safety, and regulatory execution to the established passenger vessel operator while The Twenty Five retains the end-to-end member experience. The business is currently pre-revenue, with the membership platform and Seaglider fleet not yet operational.

Direct peers

• Surf Air Mobility: Surf Air operates a regional air mobility membership service targeting affluent professionals on underserved regional routes. Comparable recurring-subscription premium travel model with focus on time savings for business and leisure travelers.
• Wheels Up: Wheels Up is a private aviation membership platform providing members with on-demand access to a fleet of private aircraft. Comparable to The Twenty Five as a recurring-membership premium mobility service targeting HNW customers seeking time savings versus commercial alternatives.
• JSX: JSX provides semi-private scheduled air service between premium regional city pairs, with a refined onboard experience. Comparable to The Twenty Five as a curated, premium-coastal/short-haul travel product targeting time-conscious affluent travelers seeking a higher-quality alternative to commercial options.
• BLADE: BLADE operates a membership-based urban and coastal air mobility service offering premium point-to-point transport (helicopters, seaplanes) between cities like NYC, the Hamptons, and Miami. Highly comparable business model to The Twenty Five—affluent time-conscious travelers, coastal corridors, membership access, premium per-trip or subscription pricing.

Others

• Virgin Galactic: Virgin Galactic offers premium spaceflight experiences targeting HNW customers willing to pay a premium for unique time-and-experience-driven offerings. Comparable positioning as a luxury, experience-led mobility brand rather than a direct product competitor.
• Hornblower Group: Hornblower Group is The Twenty Five's exclusive maritime operating partner and the nation's leading passenger vessel operator, running ferries, sightseeing cruises, and water-based experiences. They are an enabling partner but also compete in adjacent marine sightseeing and water-transport markets.
• REGENT Craft: REGENT Craft is the manufacturer of the Viceroy Seaglider and The Twenty Five's core technology partner. Adjacent enabler—REGENT's commercial success directly determines The Twenty Five's ability to scale, making them a critical supplier rather than a competitor.

Emerging players

• Joby Aviation: Joby is developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for urban air mobility and has acquired BLADE. Directly comparable technology roadmap to REGENT's electric Seaglider—both target premium point-to-point transport with next-generation electric aircraft/watercraft.
• Archer Aviation: Archer is developing eVTOL aircraft for urban air mobility, targeting short-haul premium routes. Comparable to The Twenty Five as an emerging premium electric-aviation platform pursuing FAA certification, with similar affluent customer profile and time-as-luxury positioning.

Broad incumbents

• NetJets: NetJets is the largest private aviation fractional ownership and jet card operator. Comparable to The Twenty Five as an established premium-mobility subscription/membership model, though serving a broader customer base and use case than coastal electric seagliders.
