Things to do in September – ADRIATIC BOAT SHOW Mandalina Marina, Sibenik

The Adriatic Boat Show is an annual, international event held each September since 2007 at Sibenik’s Mandalina Marina. Featuring new and used vessels of all types, the fair is designed to showcase the uniqueness of Croatian traditional small boat building as well as highlight the importance of the mega-yacht category, whilst promoting the Sibenik region. Ecology and environmental concerns have an important place in the program in addition to marine innovations and trends, shipbuilding, yachting equipment and global manufacturers’ presence.

Mandalina Marina is an apt location as it happens to be Croatia’s first dedicated mega-yacht marina. The Sibenik region is definitely considered the most beautiful section of the Adriatic coast and has featured in National Geographic magazine’s world's most attractive sailing destinations.

So if you’re planning a trip to Croatia in September when the summer holidaymakers have dispersed don’t forget to include the Sibenik region on your list of places to visit. Throughout the
Adriatic Boat Show weekend in mid September another event of significance also takes place; the international Sibenik Medieval Fair (check out this excellent short video clip). With National Parks Krka and Kornati in the vicinity and the sea temperature still averaging at 19 degrees Celsius, your stay could easily turn into a week. And for fishing enthusiasts, September happens to be the right time for albacore tuna.
