Another Record Show Expected
Throughout its history, the momentum of the Biograd Boat show has been unstoppable. Neither the global financial crisis, or pandemic could stop the growth of the show. This year, the show spills into the City Harbour, with a good selection of brokerage vessels up to 70 ft, and a mini auto show.
The Biograd Boat Show Experience
The show has gained its international popularity due to Croatia’s importance as a boating destination and Ilirija’s well managed Marina Kornati, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment facilities. The secret to the show’s success is the festive and special atmosphere resulting from this huge event being held in an intimate resort town with a spectacular natural setting. This is the Biograd Boat Show Experience! When the sun sets, the exhibiting stops and the party begins, with a legendary entertainment program that spills into the town center.
Croatia Luxury and Adventure Travel Show

Central Europe's Gateway to the Sea
Each year, Biograd plays an important role for domestic and international boaters.
