Charter Meetup Croatia 2026 Brings Together Leading Professionals of the Yacht Charter Industry in Šibenik
Charter Meetup Croatia 2026 took place in Šibenik from May 19 to 22, 2026, bringing together international yacht charter brokers, Croatian charter companies, and industry suppliers for four days of intensive B2B meetings, marina tours, and presentations of Croatia’s leading sailing destinations. The event was organized by Yachtmaster Group, under the auspices of the Croatian National Tourist Board.
Croatia in the Spotlight of the International Yacht Charter Industry
As one of the leading yacht charter destinations in the Mediterranean, Croatia presented its most important charter bases and marinas to international brokers actively selling Croatian sailing experiences on the global market. The program included organized visits to key marinas and charter bases in Sukošan, Biograd na Moru, Šibenik, Skradin, Rogoznica, Trogir, Kaštela, and Split, giving participants direct insight into local fleets, infrastructure, and the overall Croatian charter offering.
Marina Tours and On-Site Charter Experience
One of the key highlights of the program was a series of organized charter base tours, during which brokers had the opportunity to meet charter teams, visit marinas, and inspect fleets on location. Participants visited D-Marin Marina Dalmacija in Sukošan, Marina Kornati in Biograd, Marina Mandalina in Šibenik, Marina Frapa in Rogoznica, Marina Agana, ACI Marina Skradin, Marina Baotić, ACI Marina Trogir, Marina Kaštela, and ACI Marina Split.
The goal of these visits was to provide brokers with an authentic on-the-ground experience of the destinations and charter products they offer to their clients. Direct contact with local charter companies and fleets further enhances sales quality and improves understanding of the Croatian charter market.
Pre-Scheduled B2B Meetings Driving Real Business Opportunities
In addition to marina tours, a central part of the event consisted of pre-scheduled one-on-one B2B speed meetings between international charter brokers and Croatian charter managers. The meetings were organized through individual schedules, enabling participants to maximize efficiency and conduct a high number of direct business conversations throughout the program.
Over the course of several days, hundreds of business meetings were held, confirming the importance of this format in developing new partnerships and strengthening international cooperation within the yacht charter industry.
Presentation of Croatian Sailing Destinations
The program also included presentations of Croatian sailing regions, as well as detailed showcases of charter offerings and fleets from local operators. Participants had the opportunity to gain deeper insight into the sailing areas of Central Dalmatia, marina infrastructure, and the specific characteristics of the Croatian charter season.
