Third Dalmatia Boat Show to Feature Over 180 Exhibitors and 200 Vessels

The third edition of the Dalmatia Boat Show, held from April 16th to 19th at Marina Baotić, continues to solidify its growth and international standing. This year’s event brings together 180 exhibitors from Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Italy, Austria, and Germany, showcasing more than 200 vessels across land and sea displays.

Nine Premieres on the Horizon

'We are thrilled to welcome key international exhibitors joining us for the first time, which underscores the show’s expanding influence,' said Željko Baotić, owner of Marina Baotić and the show's founder. 'We are continuously investing in growth, from capacity to content quality, positioning the Dalmatia Boat Show as a powerhouse platform for the nautical industry and concrete business results.'

The event will highlight nine premieres, including the Absolute 70 Fly, Absolute Navetta 53, Bali 5.2, Hanse 590, and Pardo 43, alongside an impressive lineup of RIBs and day cruisers.

Absolute 70 Fly

As the flagship of the Fly series, this model centers on spacious interiors flooded with natural light. The design emphasizes seamless outdoor-indoor living, featuring an expansive flybridge terrace and a full-beam owner’s cabin configured for long-range comfort.

Pardo 43

A modern take on the classic Mediterranean cruiser, the Pardo 43 blends expansive outdoor living spaces with a lounge-ready cockpit. Its smart interior layout, featuring two cabins and a head, ensures that this striking day-boat is equally well-suited for short-term cruising and coastal escapes.

Bellini Astor 36

The Bellini Astor 36 combines a clean aesthetic with a self-assured, functional design. A true walkaround, it ensures effortless movement from bow to stern, while the intelligent interior layout feels remarkably spacious for its length. At the helm, the focus is on refined handling and quiet performance, making it a sophisticated choice for Adriatic coastal escapes.

Ribco 40SC i 28T

Representing the high-performance segment, these Greek-built RIBs utilize deep-V hulls and high-output engines. Both models balance the rugged, sporty nature of a military-grade RIB with refined, luxury-focused cockpit appointments designed for fast day trips.

Bali 5.2

This catamaran is defined by its open-space layout. The signature retractable aft door removes the physical barrier between the cockpit and the salon, merging the two into a single, seamless waterfront living area.

Hanse 590

The 590 blends high-performance sailing dynamics with a modern, ergonomic deck layout. Designed to be easily handled by a shorthanded crew, it proves that a sailing yacht of this scale can still offer a responsive and efficient sailing experience.

The exhibitor lineup for this year’s show features the industry’s leading names, including Princess Yacht Adriatic, Adria Yachts, Navis Marine, Croatia Yachting, Nautika Centar Nava, Euromarine, and SuperRib, alongside representatives of several other renowned international brands.

Beyond the business and exhibition segments, visitors can enjoy a diverse supporting program, ranging from a car display and a fashion show to an underwater cleanup and educational workshops for children.

Further solidifying its international prestige, the Dalmatia Boat Show has joined the International Federation of Boat Show Organisers (IFBSO), the premier global association for nautical event organizers.

'Joining the Federation is a significant milestone and a testament to the high international standards of organization and quality we maintain,' said Organizing Committee member Aleksandra Bujević. 'This membership opens new doors for networking with the world’s leading boat shows and further strengthens Croatia’s position on the global nautical map.'
