Our Solution• SeaBus will offer a WORLD-CLASS way of rapid marine travel from Virginia

and our National Capital to coastal communities on the Eastern Seaboard. Utilizing existing waterways, and emphasizing the Colonial Trail of Virginia, SeaBus will create a unique travel experience between Washington, DC and VA Beach and beyond

• Given the fabulous resources of Virginia's rivers and the Chesapeake Bay, and the constant Interstate traffic quagmire in Central and Coastal Virginia, a round trip water route from Washington, DC to Virginia Beach on a high speed state of the art hydrofoil ferry is an idea, whose time has come. It will benefit Virginia with new jobs, infrastructure, tourist attraction and tax revenue

• Hydrofoil travel is an ABSOLUTE NOVELTY to the American consumer, who is unfamiliar with this Fast, Safe, Modern, Economical, Exhilarating, and Environmentally Friendly way of enjoying our scenic waterways

• SeaBus will engage in further discussions with Federal, Local and Military authorities to be included in Government Emergency planning and become a partner in Humanitarian Efforts
