Biograd Boat Show has earned a reputation as one of the most attractive boat shows, drawing visitors from all corners of the world who come not only for the vessels but also for the unique atmosphere.
This legendary event is not just an ordinary boat show; it is a complete experience that combines business, culture, and entertainment, creating a unique atmosphere that is rarely found elsewhere.
The Biograd Boat Show brings together nautical professionals and brands from around the world and is an excellent platform for the marine industry to show the latest offers.
One of the most important elements of the show’s success is Marina Kornati, one of the largest marinas in the region, providing top-notch facilities and a beautiful setting for both exhibitors and visitors.
Additionally, the show is open to visitors, whose numbers are growing every year. For visitors, this is also an opportunity to experience the show’s atmosphere and the hospitality of Biograd na Moru.
The excellent layout of the show itself allows visitors to easily move from one area to another, where they can enjoy everything on display, from boats and various gadgets to advanced nautical technologies.
After record-breaking editions so far, this year’s 26th edition of the Biograd Boat Show will be presented at its largest capacity yet.
With over 400 exhibitors and 400 vessels up to 25 meters, the show will stretch to the newly renovated city passenger port.
As this new space filled up quickly, an additional expansion has been completed at the neighbouring Fishing Harbour. This new section will feature the largest catamaran exhibition on the Adriatic, as well as luxury brands.
During the weekend, Hall D will become the Croatia Luxury and Adventure Travel Show, with exhibitors focused on luxury and adventure travel, further enriching the show and the overall experience.
Similarly, the 8th Croatia Nautical Days will host its largest congress to date, supported by the Croatian Chamber of Economy, while the Croatia Charter Expo will present yacht charter companies offering over 3000 charter vessels available for rent.
The Biograd Boat Show co-occurs with the Croatia Charter Expo, providing a perfect platform for charter fleet operators, brokers, and other professionals to establish connections and foster business partnerships.
As it grows in both size and quality each year, the CCE has become an indispensable event for everyone in the yacht charter industry.
The quality and number of participants are always at their peak, and the number of business connections and meetings increases year after year, making it clear that CCE is very productive and well-received.
The Croatia Charter Expo includes more than 100 companies and over 450 yacht charter professionals, resulting in over 1000 business meetings through the Biograd B2B platform.
This year is expected to be nothing less than the largest and most successful edition yet.
By using the Biograd B2B online platform, brokers, fleet operators, and suppliers can arrange important meetings in advance to take advantage of networking opportunities.
Major yacht charter brands, as well as equipment and service suppliers, will be present at the Expo, presenting their offerings to both domestic and international audiences.
Participants can schedule meetings using the B2B online platform, and the Biograd B2B Business Directory automatically adds all exhibitors and visitors, allowing them to search for potential partners and schedule meetings at no cost.
Participants of the Croatia Charter Expo can organise meetings at their exhibition stands, on boats, or in the lounge area of Hall D.
For meetings with Biograd B2B participants who are not registered for the Croatia Charter Expo, arrangements can still be made during the Biograd Boat Show, either at exhibition stands or in the B2B lounge in Hall D.
This year, for the first time, the ECO Excellence initiative has been launched, and the organisers of the Biograd Boat Show are inviting all participants to apply for the ECO Excellence Award 2024, which aims to recognise efforts in environmental preservation and sustainable practices in nautical tourism.
All exhibitors offering eco-friendly products or services that contribute to environmental protection are eligible to participate.
The goal is to promote responsible environmental practices and to recognise individuals or organisations committed to protecting the environment.
You can complete the application online through the form by October 18, 2024, and the award ceremony will be held on October 27, 2024, at the winner’s exhibition stand, with media and a jury present.
