Conversations about whether there are enough women in nautical, whether it is more complicated or easier for them than we think and whether they are equal in the industry are repeated again and again. Therefore, the Adria Libar Maritime & Yacht training centre organised the panel "Women in the nautical industry – She & SEA", which will be held at this year's Zagreb Boat Show, as an opportunity to emphasise the role of women in nautical.
This year's Zagreb Boat Show will be richer for a special event - the panel discussion "Women in the nautical industry – She & SEA".
The panel, organised by Adria Libar, will be held on February 16, 2024, at 3 pm at the Zagreb Fair, on the stage between pavilions 10A and 11A.
This panel will be an opportunity to highlight exceptional women and their contribution to the nautical sector.
Adria Libar, the leading Croatian maritime and yacht training centre, organises this panel to celebrate and promote the role of women in shaping the dynamic nautical landscape.
The "Women in the Nautical Industry – She & SEA" panel is a meeting place for successful women from the nautical sector and a forum for discussing the challenges, success strategies, and unique perspectives that women bring to this industry.
The organisers of the panel say that the goal of the panel is to enrich the content of the fair by highlighting the achievements of women in the nautical sector.
The panel will open a space for exchanging personal stories and experiences of numerous women from nautical.
The panel's goal is dialogue, exploring how women "navigated challenges and shaped their paths of success." By presenting their different views and experiences, they want to highlight the educational and professional opportunities sailing offers to women.
Panel participants, directors of charter companies, yacht agents, educators, editors of nautical media and skippers will share their experiences on and around the sea.
The panel "Women in the nautical industry – She & SEA" is also an excellent opportunity for networking, inspiration, and further development of the nautical sector.

The first Adriatic Nautical Business Forum 2026 was not just another event in the industry calendar. It was a test. A test of the willingness to finally speak openly about problems everyone knows, but few actually say out loud. And more importantly, it was proof that the interest exists.
The acquisition of Borrow A Boat and its integration into Five Seasons Yachting Group shows that the yacht charter market is no longer changing only through the growth of individual portals, but through the connection of distribution, technology, data and customer relationships. In such a model, the greatest advantage no longer necessarily belongs to the one who has the fleet, but to the one who controls digital access to the market. Selma Ćubara in her new column draws a parallel with the American market and warns that for Croatian yacht charter companies the biggest risk is the loss of autonomy, not just the level of commission.
A networking event in the charter industry should not be seen only as an opportunity to meet people, but also as a space where business opportunities can open up naturally. This article explains why the round table format is especially useful for selling services without a traditional pitch, how participants, moderators, and partners can benefit from it, and why this type of conversation brings real value to the nautical market.
Can AI speed up charter marketing? Yes. Can it also make it worse? Absolutely. In this article, we look at where artificial intelligence truly helps, where it creates a generic impression, and why in charter, not even the best automation can replace trust.
