Adriatic Boat Show is an international nautical show of new and used vessels that puts emphasis on a promotion of Croatian boatbuilding as well as consolidation of megayacht segment of nautical tourism in Croatia.

The Adriatic Boat Show has proved itself as a most necessary and highly productive event for the city, a nautical exhibition spectacle that has etched Sibenik on the global nautical map and has transformed it into an obligatory destination each September. It is also the only nautical show in Croatia under the patronage of three Ministries – Economy, Labour and Entrepreneurship, Tourism and Sea, Transport and Infrastructure.



In its inaugural year, Adriatic Boat Show 2008 presented itself in a great manner - on 160 square meters of exhibition area, with 140 new and used boats displayed at sea and an additional 20 on dry docks, and 150 exhibitors who together represented more than 1000 nautical brands. The distinctiveness of the event’s first year was ensured by the exceptionally large number of accompanying events – 62 to be exact – during the five days of the conference, entertainment and sports programs, as well as the gastronomic delicacies prepared by the best restaurants in the Sibenik region. In the course of five days, 22000 people visited the boat show.



At the Adriatic Boat Show 2009 we are expecting more than 200 exhibitors with approximately 220 boats at sea and 50 on dry docks. We will again bring together boat builders, representatives and producers of engines and boat equipment, representatives of sport clothing and shoes, diving and fishing gear, and traders of small nautical accessories. Of course, we will also feature representatives of banks and insurance and leasing companies with all their financial advice. In addition to a rich congress, sport and entertainment program, the show will present an unforgettable gastro experience with an offering of delicacies from the Sibenik region.



The goal of the Adriatic Boat Show is to affirm itself in the next three years, through its characteristics and accomplishments, as the most important and biggest autumnal event of the nautical industry in Croatia and the surrounding region.
