Viva Electric Jets Spring Road Trip

Mikkeli, Finland

We are pleased to announce that the Viva team with its partners is leaving on a European roadtrip in February. The aim is to showcase our electric multipurpose vessel (eMPV) and give test drive possibilities to those interested.

The first road trip stop is at the Budapest Boat Show 19.-22.2 in partnership with Wiking Yacht Club, marking the official start of Viva’s spring road trip across Europe.

The Budapest Boat Show represents an important early-season meeting point for boating enthusiasts, industry professionals, and future partners in Central Europe, especially in the electric marina world. Together with Wiking Yacht Club, Viva will present its eMPV concept, designed to offer a larger, more stable, and highly flexible electric working platform directly on the water. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the vessel up close and discuss its wide range of applications, from professional use to leisure and transport.

For those truly interested, test run possibilities are organised after the exhibition.

Following Hungary, Viva will continue visiting several key locations across Europe to meet customers, resellers, and stakeholders, while increasing awareness of our electric water mobility solutions. These visits will include boat shows, demo events, and targeted meetings, supporting Viva’s preparations for its first delivery year. We’ll announce our next stops soon.

For the up-coming events, we’d like to thank all the wonderful support and engouragement that we’ve received so far. And it’s wonderful top be in Finland, because our projects are co-funded by the European Union.

YEAR 2025: STRONG PROGRESS TOWARD INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

We wish everyone a wonderful end of the year. For us at Viva Electric Jets, 2025 has been a year of significant development and growth. We have continued advancing the next generation of our electric watercraft, prepared our production line in Mikkeli, and expanded our visibility beyond the borders of Finland. At the same time, customer meetings and the start of sales have given us real momentum.

Throughout the summer, we organized numerous test drives and demo events for customers. During these occasions, people had the chance to experience Viva’s performance firsthand and discuss product development and upcoming deliveries with our team. These encounters have been valuable for us, and the feedback has strengthened our confidence in the market potential of the product.

In the autumn, we participated in the boat show in Cannes, an important step in building our international recognition. We showcased our latest model, met with resellers and industry influencers, and offered the possibility to place pre-orders. The international interest — together with other exhibitors —demonstrated that there is clear demand for our electric water mobility solutions.

Toward the end of the year, sales have taken off nicely. We have received orders and continued preparing the production line in Mikkeli for the first deliveries. Our goal is to increase production volumes in a controlled manner, as 2026 will be our first delivery year.In summary, this year can be considered a clear turning point for us: we have strengthened our brand, received our first orders, met a wide range of customers, and built a solid foundation for international growth. Our small but spirited team continues forward with enthusiasm.
