ACEL Power and Electrified Marina Partner to Revolutionize Marine Electrification on the U.S. East Coast
In a landmark move set to reshape the marine industry, ACEL Power, a trailblazer in electric propulsion innovation, has announced a strategic partnership with Electrified Marina, the nation’s leading electric watercraft dealer. This collaboration marks a pivotal step toward accelerating marine electrification along the U.S. East Coast, bringing sustainable boating solutions to recreational users, eco-conscious marinas, and commercial operators alike.
The partnership will focus on expanding access to ACEL Power’s cutting-edge Intelligent Electric Series, which includes high-performance 50HP and 75HP electric outboard systems. Additionally, the two companies will introduce fully integrated electric boat offerings, such as pontoons and tritoons—vessel types that dominate America’s inland and recreational waterways. At the heart of this initiative is the Joule, an ACEL-powered electric tritoon showcased at Electrified Marina’s Virginia headquarters. Designed to meet the demands of U.S. consumers, the Joule exemplifies how clean, quiet electric power can transform the boating experience.
A Shared Vision for Sustainable Boating
Founded by a team with engineering expertise from Tesla and SpaceX, Electrified Marina has quickly become a driving force in the marine industry’s transition to sustainability. Their reputation for excellence in electric boat retail makes them the ideal partner for ACEL Power, whose mission aligns perfectly with their own: to lead the transformation of the marine industry toward a greener future.
“Our mission has always been to lead the transformation of the marine industry toward a more sustainable future,” said Erick Pinzon, Co-Founder of Electrified Marina. “Partnering with ACEL Power allows us to bring advanced electric propulsion systems to a wider audience while addressing the growing demand for eco-friendly boating solutions.”
This partnership extends beyond simply selling electric outboards. Together, ACEL Power and Electrified Marina will develop fully electrified vessel packages tailored to American recreational users, marinas, and tour operators. By combining ACEL’s scalable propulsion technology with Electrified Marina’s hands-on experience in customer education and adoption, the two companies aim to make electric boating accessible, trusted, and desirable for all.
Why Electric Propulsion Matters
Traditional gas-powered boats have long been the norm, but they come with significant environmental and operational drawbacks, including emissions, noise pollution, and high maintenance costs. Electric propulsion offers a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient alternative that appeals to modern boaters who prioritize sustainability and performance.
“Electrified Marina has played a pivotal role in accelerating electric boat adoption by making the technology approachable and trusted,” said Natasha Chawla, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ACEL Power. “We believe the Joule tritoon is an excellent platform to showcase our Intelligent Electric 75HP system. Pontoons are America’s favorite way to relax on the water, and pairing that with clean, quiet electric power makes for an unbeatable experience.”
The Intelligent Electric Series from ACEL Power delivers unmatched performance, reliability, and efficiency. These systems are designed to meet the needs of both recreational boaters and commercial operators, offering seamless integration into existing vessels or new builds. With zero emissions and minimal noise, ACEL’s electric outboards provide an environmentally friendly option without compromising on power or speed.
Expanding Access to Electric Boating Solutions
Through this partnership, Electrified Marina becomes an official dealer of ACEL Power’s electric propulsion systems, further solidifying its position as a leader in the electric marine market. This agreement not only expands ACEL’s U.S. footprint but also establishes a robust network for selling and supporting electric watercraft across the East Coast.
The collaboration addresses one of the biggest challenges facing marine electrification: accessibility. By combining advanced propulsion technology with proven retail expertise, ACEL Power and Electrified Marina are breaking down barriers to adoption. Customers can now explore a wide range of electric boating options—from standalone outboards to fully integrated pontoons and tritoons—all backed by knowledgeable experts dedicated to guiding them through the transition to electric power.
Showcasing Innovation with the Joule Tritoon
Central to this partnership is the Joule, an ACEL-powered electric tritoon that highlights the potential of electric propulsion in recreational boating. Featuring ACEL’s Intelligent Electric 75HP system, the Joule delivers smooth, quiet operation and exceptional performance, making it perfect for leisurely cruises or family outings on the water.
Pontoons and tritoons account for a significant portion of boat sales in the U.S., particularly in inland and freshwater markets. By electrifying these popular vessels, ACEL Power and Electrified Marina are tapping into a massive opportunity to promote sustainable boating practices while meeting consumer demand for innovative, eco-friendly products.
Accelerating Market Readiness for Electric Marine Solutions
The marine industry is at a turning point, with increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint and embrace cleaner technologies. ACEL Power and Electrified Marina are uniquely positioned to lead this charge, leveraging their combined strengths to accelerate market readiness for electric marine solutions.
ACEL’s scalable technology ensures that its electric propulsion systems can be adapted to various vessel types and applications, from small fishing boats to large commercial ferries. Meanwhile, Electrified Marina’s frontline experience in customer education and adoption helps demystify electric boating for first-time buyers and seasoned enthusiasts alike.
Together, these efforts are paving the way for a future where sustainable boating is not just a niche market but a mainstream reality. As more consumers recognize the benefits of electric propulsion—reduced environmental impact, lower operating costs, and enhanced onboard experiences—the demand for products like the Joule tritoon will continue to grow.
A Greener Future for Boating
The partnership between ACEL Power and Electrified Marina represents a bold step forward in the quest for marine electrification. By expanding access to high-performance electric propulsion systems and fully integrated electric boats, the two companies are empowering consumers to make the switch to sustainable boating solutions.
As the marine industry continues to evolve, collaborations like this will play a critical role in driving innovation, reducing emissions, and promoting environmental stewardship. For recreational boaters, marina operators, and commercial fleets, the benefits of electric propulsion are clear—and thanks to ACEL Power and Electrified Marina, the path to adoption has never been easier.
