Everybody who visited this year's Biograd Boat Show was surely impressed by the size of the fair. The year-to-year growing boat show gets more popularity not only in the Croatian region. The main part of the audience was Croatians, of course, but there were also more international visitors who came to see the boats and the exhibitors. Majority of the exhibiting companies were boat brokers, charter companies and boat equipment retailers. In order to allow boats leaving and entering the marina during the show, a swimming bridge connected the main part of the marina with the western part. This also guaranteed short walks to all parts of the exhibition.
One highlight was the excursion ship "Nada" that serves as a vessel for events, meetings and presentations in future. Apart from the boat exhibition there was a fashion show, several conferences and seminars concerning nautical topics and other attractions for the visitors. Moreover, a far-reaching entertainment program invited the visitors to stay a little bit longer to enjoy free food, evening events with live-music in the marina and after-event-parties in the clubs and pubs of Biograd rounded up the program.
