Boisbriand, QC – September 16, 2026 -- Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) has been invited to the Suntex Marinas National Conference in Texas, running September 22-25, 2026, following its role as Title Sponsor of the Lake Berryessa Electric Boat Festival in June 2026 at Suntex-owned Pleasure Cove Marina in Napa, California.
Vision Marine completed roughly 60 on-water demonstration rides across three electric vessels at Lake Berryessa
The two-day festival featured the STERK 31E, powered by dual E-Motion 180E propulsion systems, alongside the SPECTR 26 and the Fantail 217. The event drew consumers, marina operators, utilities, policymakers, charging infrastructure providers, vessel manufacturers and investors into a single marina setting for hands-on demonstrations.
Company will bring marina electrification discussions to a national conference audience
Vision Marine plans to use the Suntex conference to discuss electric boat demonstration programs, marina-based charging infrastructure, electric rental fleets, technician readiness, real-world usage data collection and potential pilot concepts at marina locations.
"Lake Berryessa gave us an opportunity to bring several parts of the electric boating experience together in one location," said Maxime Poudrier, Chief Operating Officer of Vision Marine. "The Suntex National Conference gives us an opportunity to bring those observations into a broader discussion around how boats, propulsion, charging, service and the marina experience can work together."
Vertical structure links propulsion technology to retail and service through Nautical Ventures
Vision Marine's E-Motion high-voltage propulsion platform is paired with vessel integration experience and Nautical Ventures' retail and service operations, giving the company direct exposure to how electric vessels are sold, charged, serviced and used by customers. The company frames marinas as concentration points where propulsion, charging, demonstrations, rentals, service and customer interaction can converge.
The conference invitation does not constitute a commercial agreement between Vision Marine and Suntex Marinas; any resulting material arrangement would be disclosed separately.
