MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC / ACCESSWIRE / December 8, 2024 / Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (“The Company,” “Vision Marine,” “we,” “us,” “our”) (Nasdaq:VMAR), a pioneer in electric marine propulsion, announced a strategic partnership with Armada Pontoons, a renowned manufacturer of high-quality pontoon boats based in Quebec, Canada. This collaboration introduces a new electric pontoon boat designed to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly, regulatory compliant and competitively priced boating solutions for the vast network of North American lakes.
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. While comprehensive data on the total number of waterways with such regulations is not available, the scale of the opportunity is clear. With approximately 479,950 lakes and reservoirs in the contiguous United States and over 3 million lakes in Canada, pontoons – known for their versatility and stability – remain one of the fastest growing segments in the marine industry. This electric pontoon is uniquely positioned to respond to growing demand, offering families an eco-friendly and seamless experience on the water tailored to these regulated environments.
“This pontoon represents a new opportunity for families and boaters who have long been looking for a turnkey, regulatory compliant 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 is easy to own, operate and love.”
Armada Pontoons, based in Victoriaville, Quebec, brings decades of expertise in manufacturing durable, high-quality pontoons to the project. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to providing practical and innovative boating solutions,” said Mathieu Gardner, President of Armada Pontoons.

The new pontoon will be shown at major boat shows throughout 2025, including events in Florida, California, Montreal and Toronto. These events provide an excellent opportunity for boating enthusiasts, investors and dealers to see the boat first hand. Vision Marine invites participants to participate in sea trials, place pre-orders and contact [email protected] for partnership opportunities or early orders. Don’t miss the opportunity to be among the first to explore this innovative design.
This eco-friendly pontoon is not only ideal for confined waters, but also aligns with wider 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 represents a compelling option for sustainability-minded investors and environmentally conscious consumers.
This launch aligns with Vision Marine’s broader strategy to accelerate the adoption of electric boats in North America. By offering affordable and environmentally friendly products, the company is at the forefront of transforming the marine industry, paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
