## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Vision Marine Technologies' 180E Electric Powertrain Approved under California's CORE Voucher Program, Incentivizes Adoption of Electric Boat Propulsion**

E-Motion™ 180E systems now eligible for up to $170,000 in per-unit government vouchers—driving electrification of commercial fleets in California.

**Key Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Vision Marine's E-Motion™ 180E propulsion kits approved under California's Clean Off-Road Equipment ("CORE")
program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Up to $170,000 per vessel in state-funded vouchers available for qualifying fleet operators.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Applies to both new electric boat builds and retrofit conversions using Vision Marine's certified installers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· California market includes approximately 4,400 commercially operated vessels across sectors such as ferries, harbor patrol, tour boats,
rentals, and service craft.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Approval appears to align with broader industry momentum toward electrification, expected to strengthen Vision Marine's market
position.

**Montreal, QC / June 18, 2025 / Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) (the "Company", "we", "it" "us", "our"), a developer of high-performance electric marine propulsion systems, announced today that its flagship E-Motion™ 180E powertrain has been approved for inclusion in California's CORE Voucher Incentive Project.**

The voucher approval grants Vision Marine's propulsion kits eligibility for point-of-sale vouchers of up to $170,000 per unit, substantially reducing the cost of adopting electric propulsion for organizations modernizing their electric fleets.

"This represents a major milestone for Vision Marine, which is expected to significantly enhance our market position and accelerate our ability to drive widespread adoption of electric propulsion technology," said Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine Technologies.

**California: A Strategic Market for Marine Electrification**

California operates one of the largest and most dynamic commercially operated marine sectors in North America<sup>1</sup>. With approximately 4,400 vessels in use across ferry services, water taxis, harbor patrol, tour operations, and rental businesses, the state presents a significant opportunity for electrification<sup>1</sup>. We believe many of these segments are actively seeking clean alternatives to gas and diesel propulsion due to emissions regulations and increasing demand for quieter, lower-maintenance vessels.

<sup>1</sup>Source: <u>Marine Technology News</u>

Vision Marine's E-Motion™ 180E system—now listed under CORE—offers a compliant, high-performance solution for operators upgrading existing boats or commissioning new electric vessels.

**Market Impact and Sales Potential**

With this approval, Vision Marine can now offer its E-Motion™ 180E propulsion kits to eligible buyers with substantial financial support from the CORE program. Both new electric vessels and repower conversions are supported when completed by certified Vision Marine technicians and installers.

Vision Marine stands to benefit from increased demand across a wide range of commercial use cases. We believe the Company's commercial readiness, field-tested product, and established presence in California position it well to respond to immediate regional fleet electrification needs.

This milestone also comes as the global marine industry increasingly shifts toward clean propulsion.<sup>2</sup> We believe the combination of policy-driven funding and organic market demand will create a powerful tailwind for Vision Marine Technologies.

"California has long been a bellwether for clean technology adoption," added Mongeon. "Our CORE approval enhances our visibility and competitiveness in this key market, while reinforcing our ability to scale as electrification expands across North America."
