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.

Marketing is frequently viewed as a short-term solution in the charter industry: "Let's do marketing to get bookings." But is that really how it works? This article unpacks the most common misconceptions: marketing is not sales, it’s not a business strategy, it’s not partnerships, and it’s certainly not a magic wand when the business model is already showing cracks. If your product isn’t clearly defined, if your audience and positioning are vague, or if your operations are shaky, marketing can’t fill in those gaps. In this column, Selma Ćubara shares grounded examples from the field, showing when marketing becomes a powerful lever and when it’s just an expensive distraction. For charter professionals who want to build stronger foundations, avoid the usual mistakes, and understand when (and how) marketing truly works.
What draws guests in is not a perfect shot, but the feeling that somewhere, on some boat, a story is unfolding just for them. Yacht charter companies that understand this don’t need to compete on price or promise perfection – it’s enough to show sailing as it truly is. Without the right content, it’s hard to spark a guest’s interest in a sailing experience. This text brings concrete, simple tips you can try immediately – without fear of doing it wrong.
Yacht charter websites often end up looking the same: similar boats, identical descriptions, nothing new for the guest or the search engine. But you have a good offer, and Google still skips over you… Do you know which mistakes you're making that are holding you back? Here are some practical tips on how to fix them.
The Swiss ruling against Booking.com challenges excessive commissions and unfair pricing practices. For the yacht charter industry, it’s a signal to reassess the growing influence of intermediaries — and reclaim control over pricing, visibility, and customer relationships.
