Location: Zapadna obala/West coast (Obala kneza Branimira)

Date: September 28 - October 1, 2026

The third edition of the CROYA Yacht Charter Show is a business event of national importance for Croatia’s yachting tourism industry, bringing more than 250 leading international charter brokers, an impressive fleet of superyachts and numerous Croatian exhibitors representing an important part of this thriving industry to Split’s Western Coast.

From 28 September to 1 October, Split will once again become an unmissable hub for luxury nautical tourism. The third edition of the CROYA Yacht Charter Show, the only B2B event of its kind in Croatia, organized by the Croatian Yachting Association (CRO.Y.A.), brings together leading international charter brokers, yachting professionals and industry representatives in one place, showcasing the best of what the Adriatic has to offer for charter.

Due to strong interest, the show has been extended from three to four days this year, giving brokers more time to inspect as many yachts as possible. Registration for the B2B segment is open until 22 September 2026. To date, more than 180 charter brokers from 16 countries have registered – the USA, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Gibraltar, Spain, France, Monaco, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Greece, Cyprus and Turkey – with the number expected to reach last year’s level of around 250 participants by the end of the registration period.

In addition to yacht viewings and educational presentations for industry professionals, the show features an exciting competition programme in which crew members will showcase their skills. The centrepiece of the culinary programme is the Chef’s Competition, themed “DROPS OF GOLD”, with olive oil taking centre stage in every dish. The programme also includes table-setting, mixology and flavoured water preparation competitions, with a focus on environmental sustainability and reducing the use of single-use plastic.

Alongside the yacht exhibition at sea, CROYA will also bring together numerous Croatian and international companies from the yachting industry, whose products and services support the operations of yachts and their crews and enable them to provide charter services at the highest level.

Throughout the four-day show, charter brokers will have the opportunity to explore the yachts in detail, meet their captains and crews, and assess first-hand the experiences they can offer to their clients. The business programme will be complemented by evening events in Split and the popular Yacht Hop events – informal gatherings on board yachts that provide brokers and crews with additional opportunities to connect in a relaxed setting.

To give international charter brokers an even more comprehensive experience of Croatia as a luxury charter destination, some yachts will also organise familiarisation trips following the show. These study trips along the Croatian coast will allow charter brokers to discover destinations, local culture and gastronomy first-hand, as well as experience life on board a yacht – experiences they can then present to their clients.
