(NASDAQ: VMAR), a pioneer in high-voltage electric propulsion systems for the marine industry, has taken a significant step towards expanding its footprint in Florida's lucrative boating market. Through its subsidiary, Nautical Ventures, the company has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Nimbus Boats USA, securing exclusive distribution rights for Nimbus powerboats on Florida's West Coast. This agreement, anticipated to be finalized by March 31, 2026, will enable Nautical Ventures to promote, sell, and service Nimbus's Tender, Commuter, Weekender, and Coupe series starting August 1, 2025.
