Established in 2024, the Croatian Yachting Association (CROYA) have announced the first ever CROYA Charter Show, to be held in Split, Croatia from 4th to 6th October 2024 as part of the city’s annual Nautical Festival.
The show will present some of the finest crewed charter yachts available in Croatia and shine a spotlight on the multitude of beautiful cruising destinations, anchorages and attractions the country has to offer. The yacht’s lining up with include Croatian based motor yachts, sailing yachts, motor sailers and gulets from the luxury segment of the charter industry. Guests will have the opportunity to inspect a wide range of vessels, meet Captains and crew and taste exquisite culinary offers from the yacht chefs. CharterWorld will be represented by our brokers and motor yacht ANNABEL II – a 30.48 m (100′) Horizon yacht launched in 2009 with accommodation for up to ten guests.
Chefs will also be challenged in the Chef’s Competition – a wonderful addition to any yacht show. Competitors will be asked to present an innovative approach to Croatian cuisine and will be judged by Mike Jennings, a Michelin-trained; Ino Kuvačić, author of ‘Dalmatia: Recipes from Croatia’s Mediterranean Coast’; and a surprise Croatian chef who will be revealed shortly. The show also aims to shine a light on marine environmental issues, particularly plastic waste, by hosting the CYBA Designer Water Competition which will see yachts and crews produce and serve their own drinking water in innovative, health-enhancing and delicious ways.
Organised in partnership with the Croatian National Tourist Board, with strong support from the Ministry of Tourism & Sport plus local town and country authorities, the show presents great networking opportunities at a number of social events including an opening and closing reception.
