At this year's Zagreb Boat Show, 19 Croatian, 1 world and 2 European premiere vessels were featured. All  significant domestic shipbuilders (Pičuljan, Leidi, Terra Nauta, Arba, Bura boats, Barracuda) and foreign vessel brands such as Beneteau, Saxdor Yachts, Sea Ray, Jenneau, Ranieri, Karnic, Quicksilver, and many others were present. The offer of marine engines and outboard motors was also exceptional: Honda, Suzuki, Mercury, Volvo Penta, Evinrude, Yanmar.

The fair was visited by the famous Croatian skier, today a passionate sailor, Ivica Kostelić, who presented his documentary "Transat". Two important panels were held, one on skipper training and safety at sea with relevant speakers and professionals from the nautical industry, and the other, interestingly named "She&SEA", provided experiential facts as well as guidance to women on professional work opportunities in the maritime industry.

The Hunting and Fishing Days were visited by numerous hunters and fishermen who could look around and buy the latest equipment. Interested visitors could try bow and arrow shooting or learn something about falconry. As part of the Hunting and Fishing Days, a number of expert lectures and a hunting dog show were held, and visitors could enjoy the Hunting Gastro Show, the exhibition of mushrooms and taxidermy fish.

The fairs were inaugurated by the Deputy Mayor of the City of Zagreb, Luka Korlaet, who expressed his satisfaction with the impressive numbers regarding the size of the exhibition space and the number of exhibitors at the fairs.

​“Zagreb Boat Show is distinguished by the excellence and quality of the overall offer, owing to which it is profiled into the leading business fair of its kind in the region. By organizing premiere displays of vessels, the shipbuilding sector is showing its long-term loyalty to Zagreb Boat Show with each new edition”, said Renata Suša, Zagreb Fair Director, at the official opening ceremony.

This year too, a rich prize pool worth € 9,904.32 was organized for the visitors.
