There is truly something extra to this years' Adriatic Boat Show- in addition to the standard nautical program that comprises new and used boats, more than 30 international charter agents and brokers and about 20 domestic and foreign yachts with crew are expected to make their debut at this years' ABS. The exhibit will take place at the newly built section of D-Marin Marina Dalmacija, the first Croatian marina for mega-yachts, ABS' proud partner.

From 17-20 May 2012 Šibenik will once again host one of the most important fairs of the season, the Adriatic Boat Show, which will take place in the Mandalina Marina. The fair, organized by the Nautical Center Prgin, has a new concept: it's not only a place to be for professionals in nautical tourism but a backdrop for promotion of a tourist destination. In addition to specialists who will be represented by yachts with a crew many representatives of realated activities are also expected to arrive to this year's ABS in Šibenik, such as agents with a central fleet of vessels, charter brokers, yacht charter companies and crew management. The fair offer will include domestic and foreign manufacturers and dealers of yachts and motor boats, sailboats and boats, nautical equipment, marine engines and outboard motors, sport clothes and footwear, fishing and diving equipment, used boats and equipment as well as a wide range of insurance, leasing and financial companies. As the organizers of the fair point out, given that it is being held in an attractive setting that includes 60 000 sq.m. of open space, which is particularly adapted for the acceptance of mega-yachts that the NCP is developing in cooperation with its Turkish partners Dogus Group, and its new concept, this year's ABS truly monitors changes and trends on the global market.

The conference program which is organized within the second Nautical forum will address issues such as harmonization and implementation of legislation of the Republic of Croatia regulations so that they are consistent with the EU regulations. For exhibitors and visitors a series of sports events, excellent entertainment in an attractive setting and culinary delights are also in store.
One of the finest and most luxurious yachts for charter in Croatia, the 37-meter long Navilux, will have its world premiere at this years' ABS as well as the S / Y Sundara, the 35-meter yacht made in Turkey, which will cruise the eastern Mediterranean, Montenegro, Greece and Croatia. At least 30 international agents from renowned yacht charter and brokerage agencies upon their arrival will have the opportunity to view charter boats with crew and sail the Šibenik archipelago. They can explore the destination through a rich presentation of hoteliers, caterers, agencies, active and cultural tourism as well. For all those who confirm their arrival at the Croatian small shipbuilding Days and ABS the organizers offer an additional discount of 10 per cent for both fairs. Also, all partners who exhibited at ABS in the past will get a 10 percent discount on fidelity.
