Navela, the leading regional distributor of Yanmar marine engines and equipment with more than 34 years of experience, is proud to announce its participation in this year’s Biograd Boat Show, which will be held from October 22nd to 26th, 2025. As a company known for reliability, top quality and continuous market education, Navela will present the latest innovations and technological solutions in the nautical industry at this prestigious fair, with a special emphasis on Yanmar engines and the latest trends in electric propulsion.
RELIABILITY AND QUALITY AS THE FOUNDATION OF BUSINESS
From the very beginning, Navela has built a reputation as a trusted partner – both among boat builders and owners, charter companies, service providers and private users. ISO9001:2015 certification confirms its commitment to the highest quality standards, and long-term relationships with renowned global manufacturers guarantee customers security and long-term value of their investment. In its portfolio, Navela offers leading brands such as Yanmar, Plastimo, Vetus, Goiot, Flexofold and Andersen, covering all the needs of modern vessels – from engines and propellers to safety and deck equipment.
PRESENTATION OF THE LATEST ENGINES AND GEARBOXES
At the Biograd Boat Show 2025, Navela will exhibit an impressive range of engines and equipment, including:
• Yanmar inboard engines – recognized for their reliability, efficiency and environmental friendliness, available for recreational and commercial use;
• Plastimo safety equipment – rafts, life jackets and safety equipment at sea;
• Yanmar spare parts.
HIGHLIGHT: the premiere of the latest Yanmar 4LV150 engine with SD150 saildrive – a combination that brings outstanding performance, quiet operation and easy maintenance. Yanmar’s SD150 Saildrive is designed for use on sailboats and catamarans over 18 meters, allowing owners of larger sailboats to experience the benefits of Yanmar’s proven saildrive solution. Providing an exclusive combination of common rail and saildrive efficiency for larger-engined vessels, Yanmar offers the SD150 Saildrive system with a 4LV150 engine.
Yanmar’s electronically controlled common rail engines pair seamlessly with the electrically controlled SD150 saildrive, ensuring clean installation and smooth operation. The SD150’s hydraulic gear shifting, combined with the recommended folding propeller, reduces noise and vibration, contributing to overall comfort on board.
In addition, the latest Yanmar electric saildrive SDe will be introduced, embodying the future of sustainable boating – quieter operation, zero emissions and minimal maintenance, ideal for environmentally conscious boat owners and shipbuilders who want to stay ahead of the market.
