Opatija at MEETEX 2026: new contacts and a stronger congress offering

Zagreb Fair is preparing for another spectacular edition of the region’s most important continental nautical event. Under the well-known motto „Sail, discover, live...“, it will once again become the central meeting point for the entire nautical community. The 33rd NAUTIKA fair will take place from 18 to 22 February 2026.
A new direction and strong partnerships
In its new edition, Nautika is no longer just an exhibition space, but a key driver of the nautical economy. Over the five days of the event, Zagreb Fair will transform into the most important marina on land. The objective is clear: to shorten the path from innovation to buyer and provide Croatian boatbuilders with a platform that firmly positions them at the top of the global luxury market. The fair thus confirms its role as an essential „business point“, where deals and partnerships that would otherwise take months of fieldwork are concluded in just a few days, combining more than three decades of tradition with concrete investment opportunities.

What awaits us across six pavilions?
Visitors can expect a strong edition across more than 7,000 m² of exhibition space. Key highlights and figures include:
More than a fair: education and networking
In addition to the exhibition segment, Nautika 2026 also brings a high-quality professional programme.
Nautical & Health Summit 2026 will take place on 19 and 20 February in the Zagreb Fair Congress Hall. The summit will bring together leading experts, investors and decision-makers with the aim of positioning Croatia as a globally recognised premium destination. Through four themed panels, participants will explore the synergy between luxury nautics and top-tier medical services, with a particular focus on sustainable development and attracting international investment.
