Vision Marine Technologies announced that Roger Moore, founder of Nautical Ventures Group, has retired from his executive responsibilities and day-to-day management role. The transition follows the completion of the integration phase tied to Vision Marine’s acquisition of Nautical Ventures in June 2025.
Moore built Nautical Ventures into a Florida-based marine enterprise spanning dealership operations, marina facilities, service infrastructure, financing capabilities, rentals, boat clubs, and marketing platforms. The company expanded to 13 locations and developed relationships with several leading marine manufacturers.
In 2024, Nautical Ventures was named the No. 1 dealer in the Boating Industry’s Top 100 Dealers ranking in the U.S.
After Vision Marine acquired Nautical Ventures, Moore supported the transition and helped preserve customer relationships, manufacturer partnerships, and the operating foundation underpinning the company’s long-standing success.
Vision Marine said it has completed a broad integration initiative across operations, inventory management, financing activities, marina operations, service infrastructure, and retail execution. The company also noted that the acquisition transformed Vision Marine from a marine technology company into a vertically integrated marine platform with direct customer access, recurring marina revenue, retail distribution, financing capabilities, service infrastructure, and proprietary electric propulsion technology.
As part of the next operating phase, Nautical Ventures will continue to be managed by its existing operational leadership team under the strategic oversight of Vision Marine’s executive leadership.
Clement Magot, General Manager of Nautical Ventures, and Matthew Andrews, General Manager of Nautical Ventures, will continue overseeing day-to-day operations, sales execution, customer experience, and operational performance across the Nautical Ventures platform.
Magot brings prior marine sales leadership experience from Groupe Beneteau, while Andrews brings prior industry experience from Denison Yachting and supports financing, transaction processing, and customer delivery coordination.
Vision Marine said Moore will not hold any executive, board, or shareholder position within the company, though he may provide limited advisory support from time to time to assist with continuity of certain strategic relationships and initiatives.
The transition is not expected to impact customer relationships, manufacturer partnerships, employee continuity, day-to-day operations, or the execution of Vision Marine’s strategic plan.
