ICE'23 - trends and innovations in the nautical industry

The nautical B2B trade show International Charter Expo is reporting new records for this year's edition as well. From December 6 to 8, 2023. a large number of charter companies and owners of megayachts from all over the world are expected to be represented at the Zagreb Fair.
 
For the eighth consecutive year, Yachtmaster Group is organizing this three-day event, also known as the most influential meeting place of the marine industry. 
 
During ICE'23, Zagreb is expected to become "the spot" for owners of luxury yachts estimated to be worth 8 billion euros, which is undoubtedly a good reason to visit this event.
