Vision Marine Technologies has signed a three-year exclusive supply deal with MS Marine GmbH (STERK yachts).
Under the agreement, Vision Marine will be the sole provider of electric propulsion systems for STERK boats and exclusively integrate its E-Motion 180E electric propulsion system into certain STERK boats with additional models potentially being added in the future, subject to mutual agreement.
The agreement also grants Vision Marine the exclusive global distribution rights for electric-powered STERK vessels with Vision Marine electric propulsion systems.
Vision Marine will introduce STERK vessels to the North American market while solidifying its foothold in Europe.
The STERK boats will be assembled in Germany using Vision’s Marine’s battery packs.
“This agreement helps cement Vision Marine’s role as a driving force in electric marine propulsion,” said Alexandre Mongeon, co-founder and CEO of Vision Marine.
This collaboration strengthens our European presence and I believe it will pave the way for future expansion.

“By partnering with STERK, we are facilitating the integration of our E-Motion 180E system into a premium platform, creating a scalable pathway for widespread distribution of electric boats.
“This collaboration strengthens our European presence and I believe it will pave the way for future expansion.”
In addition, Vision Marine will work with STERK to certify boats equipped with the E-Motion 180E system to meet CE, USCG, ABYC, and NMMA standards and provide technical training to STERK’s workforce.
“At STERK, we are always striving to push the boundaries of innovation and performance,” said Milan Sterk, managing partner of MS Marine.
“By working with Vision Marine, we are taking a major step toward integrating high-performance electric propulsion into our boats.
“I am truly enthusiastic about making STERK Yachts electric and reducing our ecological footprint, while still delivering the exhilarating experience that defines our super sport boats.”
Milan added: “This Agreement marks the beginning of an exciting journey to provide our customers with cutting-edge, sustainable boating solutions.”
Vision Marine’s E-Motion electric marine powertrain is a high-voltage electric propulsion system.
