Vision Marine and Smokercraft

Dec 3, 2024

On November 18, 2024, Vision Marine Technologies Inc., announced a new production initiative with Smoker Craft Inc., a U.S.-based pontoon manufacturer known for its precision engineering and advanced manufacturing capabilities. This collaboration is expected to produce a state-of-the-art pontoon platform specifically designed to integrate Vision Marine’s high-performance (180 HP) electric propulsion systems, specifically the pontoon-designed P-Powerpack. We believe the powerpack will merge cutting-edge technology and exceptional craftsmanship into a transformative product for the marine industry.

Vision Marine and its manufacturing partner will leverage their combined expertise to redefine electric pontoon capabilities. Smoker Craft manufacturing facilities provide precision engineering, laser cutting technology, and stringent quality control, making it an ideal collaborator to bring Vision Marine’s innovative E-MotionTM 180E Electric Powertrain to market with high efficiency and craftsmanship.

“Our mission is to deliver a product of unparalleled quality and craftsmanship, which is why we partnered with a top-tier pontoon manufacturer possessing high-volume production capabilities,” said Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine. “Having successfully integrated our electric propulsion systems into various pontoons over the past three years, we are certain this electric pontoon will set a new benchmark on the water and redefine the pontoon boating experience.”

This new pontoon platform, intended primarily for rental operations, boat clubs and commercial applications, exemplifies Vision Marine’s commitment to delivering high-voltage electric propulsion solutions that are both scalable and accessible. The collaboration is expected to enable Vision Marine to meet increasing market demand and provide rental operators with a high-performance electric boating option, setting a precedent for broader adoption and sustainable growth across the industry.
