With the new expansion into the City Port of Biograd – both the passenger and fishing ports – the exhibition area will increase to over 50,000 m², with more than 450 registered exhibitors. This new exhibition space extends into the city center, hosting the largest catamaran display on the Adriatic to date, as well as many luxury motor yachts, 20 premium automobiles, and other luxury lifestyle products. Additionally, Hall E has been doubled in size, and the surrounding area has been expanded to accommodate more exhibitors.
Biograd Boat Show – “5 Shows in One”
This year’s edition of the Biograd Boat Show is bringing together “5 Shows in One,” comprising the 26th Biograd Boat Show – the exhibition show, the 9th Biograd B2B – business show, the 8th HGK Croatian Nautical Days as a congress show, the 6th Croatia Charter Expo as the leading charter show, and the 1st Croatia Luxury and Adventure Travel Show, connecting all key segments of the nautical industry and tourism in one place, continuously contributing to their development and promotion.
New Croatia Luxury and Adventure Travel Show
This year, the Biograd Boat Show will debut the new Croatia Luxury and Adventure Travel Show during the weekend in Hall D, showcasing luxury travel and adventurous experiences that offer visitors much more than just boating.
Legendary Entertainment Program
The entertainment program will feature more parties and live music, a special fashion show, the Miss Zadar County pageant for Miss World, Orion fireworks, concerts by Disco Magic Band and Soul Fingers, along with explosive after-parties.
Combining Business and Pleasure
The congress program of the 8th Croatian Nautical Days, under the patronage of the Croatian Chamber of Economy, will be the largest and most significant to date, while the Croatia Charter Expo will offer charter agencies access to over 3,000 yachts for rental.
Boat Premieres
Many new boats will debut at the show, including the world premiere of Groupe Beneteau’s concept vessel, the Monomaran, an electric boat with solar panels that can accommodate up to 8 people and represents a radical new vision for the future of boating by the world’s largest recreational boat manufacturer. Biograd was chosen for the global presentation of this concept due to the concentration of closely spaced islands in the region, ideal for this concept.
Gastronomy
Alongside numerous food and beverage options, the popular Festival of Authenticity will offer a curated selection of the finest local products for purchase to enhance the Boat Show experience.
Online Ticket Sales Added
To avoid long lines for ticket purchases, a new electronic ticketing system has been introduced, allowing visitors to buy tickets online.
Biograd Boat Show Experience
The Biograd Boat Show is one of the most dynamic and lively exhibitions in the world, with a rich event calendar attracting numerous international visitors. Its success lies in a unique formula created by the organizer Ilirija d.d., who has combined its impressive Marina Kornati, Ilirija Resort hotels, hospitality venues, and entertainment offerings into an attractive “Boat Show Experience” package. When the sun sets, the exhibition pauses, and the fun begins with the legendary on-site entertainment program, which flows into the heart of the city. Together with the intimate and spectacular setting of Biograd, this event offers a truly unique “boat show” experience.
