Lake Berryessa Electric Boat Festival Brings Electric Boats, Wine Country Flavors, and a Waterfront Lifestyle Experience to Napa Valley

LAKE BERRYESSA, Calif., June 6, 2026 — The future of boating arrives in Northern California this summer as Pleasure Cove Marina at Lake Berryessa hosts the Lake Berryessa Electric Boat Festival, produced by Sea Watts and sponsored by Vision Marine Technologies, Electrified Marina and Cal EPIC is a first-of-its-kind waterfront event expected to be the largest electric boat demonstration ever held in the United States. The event is positioned as a technology, lifestyle and sustainability festival.

Located just outside Napa Valley wine country, the festival will bring together leading electric boat manufacturers, propulsion companies, marina operators, fleet operators, policymakers, and consumers for a full day of live on-water demonstrations, exhibits, and immersive experiences centered around zero-emission marine technology.

Attendees will have the rare opportunity to ride and drive the newest generation of electric boats and personal watercraft, experiencing firsthand the quiet performance, instant torque, and environmental benefits of electric propulsion.

The event will bring together electric vessels and next-generation propulsion technologies from a growing roster of global marine innovators. Several leading manufacturers have already confirmed their participation, with additional companies expected to be announced in the coming weeks, including:

• Vision Marine Technologies

• Navier

• Candela

• Volare Boats

• RAD Propulsion

• Flux Marine

• Evoy

• VITA Power

• Taiga Motors

• Nautique Boat Company

• Ingenity Electric

• ZeroJet

Together, these companies represent some of the most advanced electric marine technologies entering the market, ranging from high-performance recreational boats and electric wake boats to commercial propulsion systems designed for rental fleets, tour operators, and marine service vessels.

Unlike traditional boat shows, the Lake Berryessa Electric Boat Festival emphasizes real-world performance demonstrations, allowing attendees to see electric boats operating on the water throughout the day.

Shore-side exhibits will highlight technologies supporting the rapidly growing electric boating ecosystem, including:

• Electric propulsion systems

• Marine charging infrastructure

• Battery and energy solutions

• Marina electrification technologies

• Electric boat rentals, charters, and tour operators

The festival is designed to accelerate adoption of clean marine technologies by connecting leisure boating enthusiasts and commercial marine stakeholders with the companies building the next generation of electric vessels.

For the recreational market, electric boats offer quiet operation, lower maintenance, and a premium on-water experience ideal for lakes, marinas, and waterfront communities.

For the commercial sector, electric propulsion is opening new opportunities for boat rental fleets, eco-tour operators, harbor services, and marina operators seeking lower operating costs, reduced emissions, and compliance with emerging environmental regulations.

“We are creating a hands-on experience where people can actually get on electric boats and see how far this technology has come,” said Ollie Danner, Founder of Sea Watts. “Electric propulsion is transforming both recreational boating and commercial marine operations. This event brings the entire ecosystem together in one place.”

In addition to marine technology demonstrations, the festival will feature a curated waterfront experience inspired by Napa Valley, including:

• Artisan wineries

• Local olive oil producers

• Gourmet food vendors and food trucks

• Family-friendly activities

• Scenic lake experiences

The event will attract boating enthusiasts, technology leaders, marina operators, investors, policymakers, and media.
