X-Shore signs Florida distribution deal

Swedish boatbuilder X-Shore Boats has partnered with Florida dealership Nautical Ventures, to sell its electric vessels across the state.

“Our dealerships have built a reputation for launching innovative European boat lines into the US market, and we see the X-Shore brand dovetailing nicely with our current European boat lines,” says Nautical Ventures chief executive, Roger Moore.

Nautical Ventures has Florida locations in Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Tampa Bay, Sarasota, and Stuart. The dealer will feature the X-Shore Eelex 8000, and a range of other electric boats and yacht toys, at its electric-boat pavilion during the 2023 Miami International Boat Show.

In February 2022, X-Shore signed a five-year, €50 million battery deal with Kreisel Electric to supercharge the next generation of its Eelex 8000 electric vessels.
