ExploMar has appointed SAS Opensea as its exclusive dealer across France, Monaco, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin.
The appointment paves the way for a major expansion for for the developer of high power electric outboard systems across some of Europe’s and the Caribbean’s most influential boating markets.
The agreement will see the launch of ExploMar France through SAS Opensea.
SAS Opensea will lead regional sales and brand development for ExploMar across the French Riviera, Monaco and the French Caribbean.
The partnership began during the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show 2026, with Joel Amor, president of SAS Opensea, visiting ExploMar’s stand.
Following the exhibition, Amor travelled to ExploMar’s base in Changshu in Suzhou for on-water sea trials and product demonstrations.
Lower impact technologies
“Experiencing the system firsthand was essential,” said Amor. “The performance, engineering quality and user experience behind ExploMar’s products clearly demonstrate strong potential for the markets we serve.
“We are very proud to represent ExploMar as ExploMar France, part of Vanguard Yachts Group and will actively support market development through boat shows, local demonstrations and sea trials, in order to offer customers a premium and immersive experience.”
France and Monaco are seen as key growth markets for electric propulsion, particularly as ports, marinas and vessel operators face increasing pressure to reduce emissions and adopt lower impact technologies.
“We are encouraged by the progress in France,” adds Alex Dong, CEO of ExploMar. “This year represents a period of accelerated market expansion for ExploMar.
“Building on our momentum in Germany and Hungary, France stands as another key market as we continue to strengthen our global presence.”
