Vision Marine has also allocated a dedicated retail and service facility at 1440 South Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale, focused exclusively on tenders and inflatables. This strategic property supports showroom expansion, accompanied by its marina which provides service capacity, aftermarket support for quick turnaround and on-site integration of both gas-powered and electric tenders, accelerating inventory turnover and operational readiness in this high-growth category.
"The tender is no longer just a yacht accessory-it's a standalone product category that delivers volume, visibility, and direct consumer engagement," said Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine. "This segment gives us early access to a new generation of boaters and fleet operators, many of whom are already shifting from ICE to electric. That makes tenders not only commercially strategic, but transformational for our business model."
. Interest in electric propulsion is steadily increasing across the marine industry, particularly in the tender category, where size, use case, and user expectations align naturally with electrified solutions. Vision Marine is strategically positioned to serve this shift, combining its proprietary high-voltage electric technology with a growing retail footprint and integration expertise.

The initiative is designed to create rapid movement of key models, increase showroom traffic, and support year-round sell-through-a shift that reflects Vision Marine's renewed focus on retail efficiency and high-frequency customer engagement.
Tenders now span a wide range of applications-from compact inflatables and luxury yacht support vessels to robust standalone boats used for diving, waterfront commuting, and light commercial activity. Vision Marine supports both internal combustion and electric configurations, including integration with the Company's own E-Motion� 180E high-voltage electric powertrain. With full-service integration and delivery available through its dealership network, Vision Marine is uniquely equipped to meet growing demand for reliable, high-performance tenders.

Nowhere is this model more evident than in the tender segment, where Vision Marine plans to increase both market share and customer retention through a blend of volume strategy and premium support.
This focus on the tender segment-particularly its electrification-is designed to deliver long-term shareholder value through a combination of volume growth, margin expansion, and recurring revenue potential. As the market accelerates toward electric solutions, Vision Marine is leveraging its proprietary propulsion technology, dealership assets, and integration expertise to build a durable and scalable marine platform.
