Roger Moore, founder of Nautical Ventures, has retired from the company.
His retirement from his executive responsibilities and day-to-day management follows the completion of the integration phase associated with Vision Marine’s acquisition of Nautical Ventures in June 2025.
As part of this transition, effective June18 2026, Roger may provide limited advisory support from time to time, as requested, to assist with continuity of certain strategic relationships and initiatives.
During his career at Nautical Ventures, Roger built the company from a single-location operation into a Florida-based marine enterprise encompassing dealership operations, marina facilities, service infrastructure, financing capabilities, rentals, boat clubs and marketing platforms.
During its development, the organisation expanded to 13 locations and established relationships with many of the marine industry’s leading manufacturers.
Marine dealership
Following Vision Marine’s acquisition of Nautical Ventures, Roger played a key role in supporting the transition while helping preserve customer relationships, manufacturer partnerships and the company’s operational foundation.
“Roger Moore built an extraordinary organisation and established one of the most respected marine dealership networks in North America,” said Alexandre Mongeon, chief executive officer of Vision Marine Technologies.
“His entrepreneurial vision, commitment to customer service and passion for boating created a business that has become a cornerstone of Florida’s marine industry.”
Day-to-day operations
And he thanked Roger for his decades of leadership, mentorship and dedication while wishing him a well-deserved retirement and every success in the next chapter of his life.
Nautical Ventures will continue to be managed by its existing operational leadership team under the oversight of Vision Marine’s executive leadership.
Clement Magot, general manager of Nautical Ventures and Matthew Andrews, general manager of Nautical Ventures, will continue overseeing day-to-day operations, sales execution, customer experience and operational performance across the Nautical Ventures platform.
Both are established members of Nautical Ventures’ operating team and have been actively involved in supporting the company’s operational initiatives throughout the integration period.
Marine sales leadership
Clement brings prior marine sales leadership experience from Groupe Beneteau, while Matthew brings prior industry experience from Denison Yachting and supports financing, transaction processing and customer delivery coordination.
Clement said: “The integration of Nautical Ventures has expanded Vision Marine’s capabilities across retail sales, marina operations, financing, service infrastructure, rentals, boat clubs and electric propulsion technology.
“We believe this integrated model provides a differentiated operating platform that supports our long-term strategic objectives.”
