Vision Marine Technologies Partners with Nautical Ventures to Add STERK Yachts to Florida Market

Vision Marine Technologies Expands Its Yacht Offerings in Florida

In a significant move for the recreational boating sector, Vision Marine Technologies Inc. has appointed Nautical Ventures Group Inc. (Nautical Ventures) as the exclusive dealer for STERK Yachts in Florida. This announcement, made on July 23, 2026, highlights the increasing collaboration between marine technology innovations and luxury yacht offerings, further enhancing the local market’s expansive portfolio.

Based in Boisbrillant, Quebec, Vision Marine Technologies focuses on high-voltage electric propulsion systems and is heralded for its cutting-edge recreational boating solutions. The decision to partner with Nautical Ventures comes as no surprise; it was recently honored as Boating Industry's 2024 Top 100 Dealer of the Year—a testament to its reputation in Florida’s boating community.

The new dealership agreement encompasses the STERK range, known for its combination of European design and advanced engineering, appealing to the preferences of Florida's boating enthusiasts. Nautical Ventures will manage the sales of STERK yachts distributed by MS Marine USA Inc., the authorized distributor in the United States.

Adding Premium Offerings to Nautical Ventures

The partnership extends Nautical Ventures’ premium product lineup with the addition of STERK’s conventionally powered dayboats. It also opens the door to potentially incorporating electric models in the future, leveraging Vision Marine's innovative propulsion technology. Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine, emphasized the alignment of STERK yachts with the unique characteristics of the Florida market, stating, "These yachts blend European aesthetics with practical functionality, which makes them a perfect fit for local buyers."

The appointment also comes with a commitment from Nautical Ventures to provide comprehensive support to customers across Florida. This includes product consultations, sea trials, delivery assistance, and after-sales service, all facilitated through their established sales network throughout the state.

Milan Sterk, the Founder of STERK Yachts, expressed confidence in working with Nautical Ventures, praising its strong market presence and customer engagement abilities. This relationship is expected to be beneficial as STERK continues to solidify its footprint in the U.S. market.

Prospects for Electric STERK Yachts

Further exciting prospects arise with the potential future introduction of electric STERK yachts. Vision Marine’s E-Motion™ 180E propulsion system, which has already been tested successfully on the STERK 31E model, serves as a bridge between STERK's traditional offerings and the forward-looking electric solutions. Maxime Poudrier, COO of Vision Marine Technologies, observed that the partnership provides Nautical Ventures with a customer-oriented structure that could facilitate the servicing and selling of these electric variants.

As customers in Florida gain access to STERK yachts through this network, they will also benefit from expert consultations and professional after-sales support. The collaboration between STERK Yachts' exquisite designs, Nautical Ventures’ established services, and Vision Marine's propulsion technologies supports Vision Marine's vision for vertical integration across technology and retail.

In conclusion, the partnership between Nautical Ventures and Vision Marine Technologies presents a promising future for the luxury boating market in Florida, enhancing customer experiences and setting the stage for innovative electric solutions in recreational boating. As the relationship unfolds, stakeholders and consumers alike can anticipate an exciting expansion in both offerings and services.
