How the Biograd Boat Show Made its Largest Expansion in its 26 Year History. 

The 25th Biograd Boat Show

After the huge success of the 25th anniversary show, many new exhibitors applied for the 2024 show, and by June it was apparent that there was no room for most of them, and the organizers could not just say no, we have no space. 

The first idea was to move the catamaransto the City Port, and with the cooperation of the County Port Authority and the City of Biograd, this became a reality.  Then, with the cooperation of Jadran Tuna, a decision was made to expand the show to the Fishing Harbour, creating a free entry zone bringing the show closer to Marina Kornat West and integrating it with the town promenade.  There, in addition to luxury motor yachts, will be 20 new automobiles and other luxury lifestyle products.

The new expansion of the show to the City Port and will increase the size of the show to over 50,000 m2 with more than 450 registered exhibitors and over 500 vessels exhibited.
