Vision Marine Technologies is partnering with Armada Pontoons, manufacturer pontoon boats based in Quebec, Canada.
The collaboration introduces a new electric pontoon boat designed for North America’s vast network of lakes.
“This pontoon represents a new opportunity for families and boaters who’ve long sought a turn-key, regulation-friendly solution without compromising on quality or ease of use,” said Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine.
“Our collaboration with Armada Pontoons has allowed us to create something truly special—an electric pontoon boat that’s easy to own, operate, and love.”
And he pointed out that the pontoon is suitable for restricted waters but also aligns with broader efforts to reduce emissions and noise pollution.
With increasing federal and state incentives available for electric boating, such as grants and subsidies for sustainable transportation, it presents a compelling option for sustainability-focused investors and environmentally conscious consumers, said Alexandre.
Many lakes across North America, particularly in states like Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, have implemented restrictions that allow only electric motors to protect ecosystems and reduce pollution, he continued.
This partnership reflects our shared dedication to delivering practical and innovative boating solutions.

While comprehensive data on the total number of waterways with such regulations is unavailable, the scale of the opportunity is clear.
With approximately 479,950 lakes and reservoirs in the contiguous US and over 3 million lakes in Canada, pontoons—celebrated for their versatility and stability—remain one of the fastest-growing segments in the marine industry.
The electric pontoon from Armada Pontoons is positioned to address growing demand, offering families an eco-friendly and seamless on-water experience tailored for regulated environments.
“This partnership reflects our shared dedication to delivering practical and innovative boating solutions,” said Mathieu Gardner, president of Armada Pontoons.
Armada Pontoons is based in Victoriaville, Quebec.
The new pontoon will be shown at major boat shows throughout 2025, including events in Florida, California, Montreal, and Toronto.
