With the show overbooked many months in advance, Ilirija d.d. has partnered with the Zadar County port Authority and the City of Biograd to expand the event into the city, including the newly constructed city port.

Central and Eastern Europe's largest boat show celebrates its 26th year following yet another record-breaking show in 2023 with over 400 vessels displayed up to 24m. With this year's show overbooked many months in advance, the show will expand along the promenade to the newly reconstructed city port, which will host catamarans and luxury yachts above 24m. Exhibitor demand for this year's show has never been greater, and the organizers will now be able to accommodate new exhibitors with exiting new vessels and products.

Expansion on Land In the north marina service area, more outdoor exhibition space has been added as well as an expansion of Hall E to accommodate the new record number of exhibitors.

New Croatia Luxury and Adventure Travel Show Over the weekend, Hall D will be transformed into the new Croatia Luxury and Adventure Travel Show, offering boat show visitors a rich selection of exhibitors offering luxury and adventure travel opportunities. This event is designed to complete the experience for those that appreciate life's finer experiences.

On-line Ticket Sales will be added To avoid long waits to purchase tickets, a new electronic ticketing system will be introduced allowing visitors to purchase tickets on-line.

The Biograd Boat Show Experience The Biograd Boat Show is one of the most dynamic, and vibrant shows in the world, with a rich calendar of events attracting many affluent international visitors. The show's success is due to the unique formula created by the Organizer Ilirija d.d. who have combined their impressive Marina Kornati, Ilirija hotels, restaurants, and entertainment facilities into an attractive "Boat Show Experience" package. When the sun sets, the exhibiting stops and the party begins with the legendary entertainment program on site that spills into the town center. When combined with Biograd's intimate and spectacular setting, the show is truly unique boat show experience.

Mixing Business and Pleasure The show is also a pioneer in innovative business to business activities, Including the 8th Croatia Nautical Days congress program sponsored by the Croatian Chamber of Economy, the Biograd B2B networking event, and the Croatia Charter Expo, where more than 3000 charter yachts are on offer to charter agencies.
