There are events that define the next yacht charter season before it even begins. There are also places where that season is negotiated. This year, a platform already well known within the Croatian charter community will be there - not as a guest, but as a partner. Charter.hr becomes the media partner of the International Charter Expo 2025.

When “Amsterdam in November” is mentioned, many first think of bicycles, canals, cheese, and the famous rhythm of a city that never stops.
But for those whose daily life revolves around yacht charter, those dates have long been marked in the business calendar.

That’s why we proudly announce - charter.hr becomes the media partner of the International Charter Expo (ICE’25) - the largest B2B event in the yacht charter industry, which will be held from 12 to 14 November 2025 in Amsterdam.

This partnership brings together two platforms that share the same goal: fostering the development of the nautical sector, connecting key stakeholders, and exchanging knowledge crucial for the future of the industry.

International Charter Expo 2025 - the most important B2B gathering in the yacht charter industry

Those who have already attended ICE know this is not “just another trade show”.
International Charter Expo is not divided into halls but into zones that reflect the actual needs of the industry.

• Bareboat Zone is what interests most Croatian companies - a zone where negotiations take place over thousands of yachts and dozens of bases that form the backbone of the yacht charter business. This year, over 4,800 bareboat vessels from around the world will be presented by more than 200 brokers.
• Superyacht Village showcases only the most exclusive yachts, with an average weekly price of over €85,000.
• Gulet Village brings together owners and agencies specializing in gulets and all types of motor sailers over 17 meters in length.

ICE is designed so that every minute carries its importance and its value. Meetings are pre-arranged through the Handshake 2.0 system, and everyone comes with a purpose and a clearly defined goal.

More than 25,000 pre-scheduled meetings, over 1,500 professionals, and more than 600 companies from 50 countries - all are there because they operate serious fleets and are looking for serious partners.

charter.hr - the place where Croatian yacht charter companies look for answers

If Croatia has one of the largest yacht charter fleets in Europe, it is only logical that someone is following what is happening and what is being discussed at the most important business yacht charter expo.

Therefore, as the media partner of the International Charter Expo 2025, the charter.hr platform will deliver standards, innovations and experiences directly from the world’s most important yacht charter expo to its audience.

Charter.hr is a digital platform dedicated to the business side of Croatian nautical yacht charter - it provides market analysis, trends in bookings and sales, as well as guidelines for digital marketing. It also offers advice on how yacht charter companies, and everyone connected to chartering, can improve their business processes.

Charter.hr as a platform focuses on the daily challenges of owners and managers, from pricing and seasonality to sales channel strategies and long-term business sustainability.

On charter.hr, the focus is not on ideal routes for guests, but on problems and changes in legislation, digital trends, software and everything else that usually remains overlooked or between the lines.

Why this partnership between the charter.hr platform and ICE’25 matters

The partnership between ICE’25 and charter.hr is not just a formality but a union of two forces working together to drive change.

• ICE gains a partner who knows the local market, understands the challenges and knows what Croatian yacht charter companies truly need.
• Charter.hr gets the opportunity to deliver standards, innovations and first-hand insights from ICE’25 to its audience.

This media partnership brings access to exclusive information, education and new business opportunities for nautical companies and professionals. The collaboration fosters better networking between key industry players and supports innovation in the sector, with the ultimate goal of increasing the visibility and competitiveness of Croatian nautical tourism in the global market.

For those who follow expos, events and trends in the yacht charter industry, this means one thing - the information will be applicable and relevant.
