Our next stop is at our retailer, Wave Boat Poland (ul. Wejherowska 16/2, 84-100 Puck, Poland). Our team is excited to meet our pals in Poland and offer test runs to those interested in testing Viva.

Viva Electric Jets is currently on a Central European Road Trip to showcase the Viva’s performance to investors, dealers and potential buyers. The goal of the trip is to increase awareness, strengthen the dealer network and accelerate sales through concrete test drives.

Budapest Boat Show 19–22.2.2026

The Road Trip started in Budapest, where we participated in the Budapest Boat Show with our dealer Viking Yacht Club. The event attracted a lot of interest, and after the fair we organized two days of test drives for potential customers.

• During the test days, approximately 15 test drives were conducted per day
• The tests were conducted on a single charge
• Customer feedback was exceptionally positive, and we expect several new orders
  The test riders’ reactions were unequivocal: everyone returned from the Danube with a big smile on their face, confirming Viva’s position as the market leader in electric personal watercraft (link to dealer video https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNR9DbAS2/)

Poland – cooperation with Wave Boat Poland

After Nice, Viva will travel to Poland for a marketing event organized by our dealer Wave Boat Poland. There, too, potential customers will be able to experience Viva’s performance in practice.

Tests in Finland

The Road Trip will end in early April, when Viva will return to Finland to continue testing and test drives with the Finnish Defence Forces' special forces.

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.
