The 46th International Nautic, Hunting and Fishing Show officially opened today in Hall 1 of Belgrade Fair, where 80 exhibitors from seven countries will showcase their products and services until Monday, April 6.
At the official opening ceremony, fisherman and humanitarian Renato Grbić addressed the audience with a message for nature lovers and all those who have the opportunity to spend more time on the river, saying that “water opens a person up and enriches the soul,” and inviting everyone to visit the show.
World and European kayaking champion Marko Novaković said that, as someone attending the show for the first time, he was impressed by the exhibition.
Novaković said he came to love kayaking almost by accident, having grown up by the river and first tried the sport at his grandfather’s suggestion.
“My first encounter with kayaking did not go well. I capsized, and that sparked in me the determination to succeed in sport"

Novaković said he is committed to passing on his knowledge and experience to younger generations and that, over the years, he has learned how important patience is.
“What matters is that you keep working, stay consistent, and the results will come. In the end, hard work always pays off”

Dr. Milan Colić, an aesthetic surgeon and boating enthusiast, said at the opening that he had grown up with boating and that, while there are many fairs dedicated to everything from architecture to agriculture, this one is special.
“This fair keeps improving year after year. It has now become a fair of dreams. Everyone comes here with a wish, to hear something new, meet someone, and see a familiar face. People exchange experiences and stories here, and this fair truly has a special charm"

The International Nautic, Hunting and Fishing Show has brought together renowned manufacturers and enthusiasts of boats, water sports, hunting, and fishing, who will present a rich selection of products in Halls 1 and 4 over the coming days.
The exhibition includes the latest models of yachts, speedboats, sailboats, motorboats, inboard and outboard engines, as well as a wide range of nautical equipment, from advanced navigation systems and safety devices to specialized clothing, footwear, and gear for water sports.
The broad range of products also includes camping and outdoor equipment, along with hunting and fishing gear.
In addition to luxury vessels and professional-grade equipment, there is also a significant segment dedicated to recreation, including inflatable boats, innovative technologies, and equipment intended for everyone who enjoys hunting and fishing as a hobby.
This year again, special focus is placed on the hunting and fishing segment, which continues to hold an increasingly important place within the show, bringing together both major and smaller distributors and manufacturers of equipment for these two pursuits.
Alongside the traditional second-hand boat market, visitors are also introduced to well-known regattas, rafting events, and Serbia’s water tourism potential, while ecology and water safety remain indispensable themes.
The Nautic, Hunting and Fishing Show also features a rich supporting program, including expert lectures and exhibitions involving well-known artists, museums, and institutions.
