Vision Marine Technologies has acquired Florida-based recreational boat dealership, marina, and service provider, Nautical Ventures Group.
The acquisition marks the formation of North America’s first electric boat propulsion and boat dealership company, combining Vision Marine’s proprietary E-Motion high-voltage electric powertrain with Nautical Ventures’ retail footprint, multi-brand boat inventory, and full-service infrastructure.
“This acquisition marks a pivotal step in Vision Marine’s strategy to scale and compete at the highest level of the global boating industry,” said Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine.
“The market is entering a new phase — one defined by innovation in propulsion, increasing demand for integrated solutions, and rising expectations from both OEMs and consumers.
“By joining forces with Nautical Ventures, we gain immediate access to a proven retail and service network, allowing us to accelerate the rollout of next-generation marine technology.

“Nautical Ventures’ founder and CEO Roger Moore has been a mentor and friend for over a decade, and I am honored to carry forward this shared vision under one banner.”
Roger added: “Nautical Ventures has always focused on bringing the best products and experiences to boaters.
“Our partnership with Vision Marine allows us to stay true to that mission while expanding what’s possible. Electric propulsion is no longer a future concept—it’s here, and it’s ready.”
Nautical Ventures operates nine high-volume retail locations across Florida, including two flagship waterfront showrooms, providing Vision Marine with direct access to an active recreational boating market.
The dealership offers several marine brands including Axopar, Beneteau, Brabus, Edgewater, Flite, Highfield, Hobie, Mercury, NorthStar, Seabob, Smokercraft, Suzuki, Tohatsu, Wellcraft, and Yamaha.
Complete electric boating solution
Vision Marine now offers a complete electric boating solution encompassing propulsion system design and manufacturing, boat integration, showroom sales, sea trial access, installation, service and maintenance.
Vision Marine is a developer of high-voltage electric marine propulsion systems and the acquisition adds high-margin dealership sales, rentals, parts, and aftermarket services, broadening the company’s revenue mix.
The company says the combined entity is now positioned to execute a nationwide rollout of integrated electric boats and services across both consumer and OEM channels.
Integration of Nautical Ventures’ operations is already underway.
