Through its Nautical Ventures division-one of the most prominent dealer networks in Florida, the world's boating capital-Vision Marine is uniquely positioned to bring this technology to market. Nautical Ventures' nine retail locations, marina operations, and customer database exceeding 50,000 provide the infrastructure to deliver E-Motion™ directly to boaters. With more than $100 million in annual boat sales over recent years, Nautical Ventures strengthens the bridge from Vision Marine's proven technology to consumer adoption.

"We're in a bold new development and training phase, and Vision Marine is becoming the reference in America for electric boating. We are also proud of the University of Michigan for its efforts, which highlight the importance of the next generation in advancing this transition. Our focus is now on the growth and profitability of our nine-dealership network, with staff training to deliver the E-Motion™ outboard and strengthen the ecosystem that brings this technology to customers," said Alexandre Mongeon, CEO and Co-Founder. "When we broke the record, we proved that electric boating can compete at the highest levels of performance. Today, that same technology is validated and available to customers through Florida's strongest dealer platform. We remain faster than 80% of ICE boats at the Ozarks, underscoring our enduring performance edge, while building a sustainable foundation that creates lasting value for investors. Once the record is challenged, we will return with determination to push the boundaries even further."
