Nautical Ventures Achieves 40% Year-Over-Year Sales Lift Surrounding FLIBS 2025

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) ("Vision Marine" or the "Company") a company specializing in high-voltage marine propulsion and premium boating experiences, today announced a 40 percent year-over-year increase in marketing-attributed sales for its Nautical Ventures retail network during the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) campaign period.

Measured from September 30 through November 12 — encompassing a one-month pre-show and two-week post-show window — sales activity reached approximately US$10.4 million and 30 boats, compared with roughly US$7.4 million and 20 boats over the same period in 2024.

"Our team delivered one of the strongest FLIBS performances since before the pandemic. Through focused marketing, disciplined planning, and strategic positioning, we have already surpassed our goals, with 18 days still remaining in our FLIBS campaign window and are tracking roughly 40% ahead of 2024 over the same period. Historically, this FLIBS window has been a reliable barometer for how the following year will play out, and our results so far give us confidence that we are set up for a strong 2026," said Diego N. Conte General Sales Manager at Nautical Ventures "On a comparable program, we're tracking roughly 40 percent higher in marketing-attributed sales, with the campaign window still open. It's a strong validation of our retail strategy and the team's disciplined execution leading up to the show."

Pre-Show Marketing and Event Performance

The Company attributed the performance to focused pre-show marketing and coordinated brand activations that began four weeks prior to FLIBS. Combined efforts across Axopar, Brabus Marine, Beneteau, Edgewater, and Highfield accounted for the majority of total sales volume during the campaign period. These transactions were supported by integrated digital and social outreach, targeted CRM activity, and on-water demonstration initiatives managed through Nautical Ventures' in-house marketing team. Including additional brands not displayed at FLIBS, Nautical Ventures' total retail performance for the campaign period represented a 40 percent increase in total volume and value over the comparable 2024 timeframe.
