With more than three decades of tradition, the Zagreb Boat Show has confirmed its status as the leading regional center where the nautical industry begins its business year.

Croatia has established its position as one of the world’s most desirable destinations on premium service and invaluable maritime heritage. Building on this legacy, the Zagreb Boat Show at Zagreb Fair serves as the central meeting point where tradition and innovation come together from 18 to 22 February.

Despite digital advancements, the importance of nautical fairs is more pronounced today than ever. In a high-value industry such as the nautical sector, trust is still best built through direct contact, while the firsthand experience of vessels remains an irreplaceable factor in decision-making.

The fair thus represents a key platform for bringing together all relevant stakeholders in the nautical sector, a place where networking creates new business value and sea enthusiasts find authentic inspiration for their future boating ventures.

The fair is supported by the City of Zagreb and the Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of Croatia.

In six pavilions (7A, 7, 8A, 9, 11A, Warm passage and 10A), more than 300 exhibitors from 32 countries will present their offer on 15,000 m² of exhibition space.

The 33rd edition of the Zagreb Boat Show will showcase over 230 vessels, including an outstanding selection of yachts, speedboats, boats, kayaks, inflatables, inboard and outboard engines as well as the diving, sailing and water sports equipment.

Participating countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Croatia, Ireland, Italy, India, Japan, Canada, China, Korea (South), Hungary, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, USA, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom.

THE ELITE OF CROATIAN AND INTERNATIONAL VESSELS

The Fair’s strong business profile and established position as the focal point of the marine industry in Croatia are values that are widely recognized by the shipbuilding sector, which has for years been regularly featuring novelties and vessel premieres.

Nearly all major Croatian boatbuilders will participate, as they have recognized the Fair as a place where Croatian business excellence, tradition and experience meet the enthusiasm of visitors and boating enthusiasts.

Alongside an outstanding local offer, the Zagreb Boat Show will also feature presentations by some of the world’s most renowned boat manufacturers.
