Operating profile

Designed for routes where access matters.

DACV-12 is being developed for routes and operating environments where speed, shallow-water access, reduced infrastructure dependence, low wake, and amphibious shoreline access matter. Its platform is suited to coastal passenger transport, remote access, utility operations, and other applications where conventional vessels are limited by draft, docking requirements, or operating conditions.

Ideal for:

Water taxi operations

Island and coastal connectors

Eco-tourism transportation

Remote community access

Passenger + cargo services

Utility and support operations

DACV-12 is being developed as a configurable platform for passenger transport, passenger + cargo / utility applications, and other mission-specific operating profiles where speed, amphibious access, and reduced infrastructure dependence matter.

DACV-12 is being developed for operation across water, shoreline, and ice conditions, with amphibious access and near-zero draft in hover mode. It is intended for coastal and nearshore environments where shallow-water access and reduced docking dependence are important.

The current platform direction includes passenger and passenger + cargo / utility configurations, with additional mission-specific layouts discussed based on operator needs.

Current product-page targets include an 11.9 m platform, 45-knot cruise speed, 65–80 knot maximum speed target, sea state 3 capability, and a range of 150–300 nautical miles depending on configuration. Performance depends on sea state and configuration, and specifications may change as development progresses.

End of 2027.

To demonstrate demand and assist in securing investment.

DACV technology has been validated through multiple prototype generations, including operational small-scale vessels and a passenger-carrying alpha prototype. The DACV-12 program is now focused on engineering, testing, and development of the first commercial-intent 12-passenger platform.

Operators can participate by registering their interest, attending operator briefings, providing route and operational requirements, evaluating demonstration opportunities, and discussing potential pilot programs or future vessel deployments.

Yes. Celerity plans to conduct demonstrations and operational evaluations as part of the commercialization process, allowing qualified operators to assess performance, suitability, and potential economics for their specific routes.

Yes. The DACV platform is being developed as a configurable architecture that can support different operating environments, mission profiles, power systems, and customer requirements.

Information submitted through this form will be used by Celerity Craft to provide project updates, invite operators to demonstrations and briefings, gather operational requirements, and discuss future commercial opportunities. Your information will not be sold to third parties.

Non-Binding Pre-Order Reservation for a Celerity Craft Dynamic Air Cushion Vehicle

Dear [Buyer Name],

This Letter of Intent ("LOI") serves as a non-binding expression of interest by [Buyer Name] ("Buyer") to reserve a future purchase opportunity for an 11.9 metre Dynamic Air Cushion Vehicle ("Vessel") from Celerity Craft Inc. ("Seller").

Reservation and Deposit. The Buyer agrees to place a deposit of $1000 to reserve a future purchase opportunity for the Vessel. The deposit shall be payable upon execution of this LOI and held in a designated account by the Seller. The deposit is considered a part payment and not a guarantee of the Seller's fulfillment of the contract.
Specifications. The nominal specifications for the Vessel are included as an addendum to this letter. These specifications are preliminary and subject to change, as the Vessel and the underlying core technology are still in the development phase. Detailed Buyer requirements and final specifications for the Vessel to be delivered will be negotiated and agreed to between the Buyer and Seller 12 months prior to final delivery.
Pricing. Richard do we want to include nominal pricing [$1m]? The estimated price of the Vessel [$X], is an estimate only and is dependent on the final specification. This pricing is subject to change. A final purchase agreement will be provided prior to production.
Priority. Buyer agrees to deliver vessel number [1], meaning that the Buyer will receive the [first] commercial vessel and will have priority over all other customers and LOIs signed after this date. [do we want to make this commitment?]
Estimated Delivery. The Vessel and the underlying technology are currently in development. The estimated delivery timeframe for the Vessel is December, 2027, subject to final specifications, technology readiness and regulatory approvals.
Cancellation and Refunds. The Buyer may cancel this reservation at any time and receive a full refund of the deposit if a) Seller cannot fully meet the Buyer requirements b) final pricing is not deemed competitive for this class of vessel c) if the timelines for final delivery are deemed by the Buyer to be unacceptable d) if the circumstances of the Buyer change such that the Vessel is no longer needed. [Richard do we want to say cancelable for any reason with refund?] If the Seller is unable to proceed with production, the deposit shall be refunded in full.
No Obligation to Purchase. This LOI does not constitute a legally binding contract for purchase and does not impose any obligation on the Buyer or Seller to complete a transaction. A separate definitive purchase agreement will be required before finalizing the sale.
Use of Reservation Data. The Buyer acknowledges that this reservation is intended to demonstrate demand and assist the Seller in securing investment and funding.
Confidentiality. Both parties agree to keep the terms of this LOI confidential, except as required for financing or business development purposes.

Please sign below to acknowledge your interest in reserving a future opportunity to purchase the Vessel. We appreciate your support and look forward to working with you.

I agree to the Letter of Intent.
