  • Most important and and best show for us! Looking forward to 2016!

    Sebastian Kather, 1a Yachtcharter, Germany

  • Croatia needs this show. I have to say we were very pleasantly surprised with everything (organization, show itself, energy there). We will for sure be back next year, probably with our own booth.

    Mitja Mirtič, Goolets, Slovenia

  • We think that B2B will become more important for the operator than a Boat Show. For us this was the first time and at the end we will be partially satisfied. We enjoy the time in Opatija and generally we appreciate the organization’s commitment.

    Maria Grazia Zuliani, 43° Parallelo S.n.c., Italia

  • Very well done and easy to meet with people. We made great contacts. All in all a very successful few days.

    Nina Burns, Adriatic Experience, USA

  • Meeting people face to face is a great opportunity. We did appreciate the presence of many international operators.

    Francesca Pettoello, Intercharter Ltd., Italy
