As Internautica 2018 draws closer, we’re proud to reveal some exciting news, product exclusives, and partners you can expect over the four-day event, from 17th to 20th May. 

Internautica remains an industry trendsetter in the Adriatic region. From yachts to inflatables, catamarans and sailing boats to power boats, electronics and nautical equipment to fashion, expect to see all your favourite brands, including Absolute, Adler, Azimut, Bayliner, Cranchi, Dreamline, Elan, Ferretti, Fountaine Pajot, Greenline, Hanse, Jeanneau, Marex, Monterey, Nomadream, Pershing, Quicksilver, Riva, Sessa, Sea Ray, Solaris, Windy and many others.

First, we’ve had an overwhelming response from businesses wanting to participate. So to give our valued exhibitors and guests the best experience possible, we’re extending the exhibition space for the first time ever.

We’re going to connect the floating docks with the “marina island”. As well as hosting the beach volleyball court and beach bar, you’ll also have access to caravans and caravanning goods. We’ll also move the Stand-Up Paddling Championship starting position to the “marina island”, so everyone can enjoy a clear view of the race.

Our extended exhibition area means more exhibitors and more nautical novelties to explore than ever before. Whether it’s buying your next boat or kitting out your caravan, you’ll find everything you need without ever leaving the marina. Internautica 2018 will present over 200 new sport boats, cruisers, multihulls, power and sailing yachts, from inflatables up to 40m.

The revered Adriatic Boat of the Year award will once again recognise the best of last season’s craftsmanship at the Exhibitor’s Gala. In partnership with Navtika Plus (Slovenija), More Magazine (Croatia), Yachts Croatia (Croatia), Nauticki Magazine (Serbia), Nautika Magazine (Serbia) and Barche Magazine (Italy), our expert judging panel will preside over the top boats that made their maiden voyage last year. With so many excellent craft to choose from, it always draws a large crowd.

Second, we’ve partnered with Lexus to give you exclusive access to the Lexus RX Hybrid – a car that combines an electric motor with a conventional engine for eco-friendly efficiency, effortless driving, and uncompromising performance. The decarbonisation of transport is crucial to protect our planet’s oceans for future sailors, so come and see why the RX Hybrid is the smarter alternative to diesel.

Third, in keeping with our sustainability goals, S-Bikes return as the official bicycle of Internautica. This Slovenian brand is responding to today’s mobility needs while minimising their environmental impact. By combining the advantages of a folding bicycle with an electric one, the S-Bike takes up little space, and with a range of up to 67 km on a single charge, you can travel further without pedalling. Perfect for cycling to and from your moorings.

Finally, we’re delighted to present Tilli Antonelli, one of the world’s leading yacht creators, at our Green Avenue project. Mr Antonelli developed famous yacht brands Pershing and Wider, and now leads Sanlorenzo’s new E Motion division. The new models use a hybrid engine (some are fully-electric) for greater efficiency, comfort, and safety while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Our exclusive financial partner this year is Vzajemci Skupina. They’re the leading financial advisory group in the Slovenian market, which can boast of a team of 30 financial experts, and with the customer care and satisfaction of more than 20,000 active clients to whom in the 17 years of operation they have offered a comprehensive financial service ranging from the mutual funds of domestic and foreign managers to a broad a range of insurances, banking products and opinions on alternative investments. Their competitive advantage is in its own investment committee, consisting of 5 financially supported individuals who analyse investments on a daily basis and look for opportunities for investors.

Please keep an eye out for more exciting news in the coming weeks. Internautica 2018 is set to be the biggest and best yet.
