Biograd Boat Show 2026 has opened applications for two ECO awards that recognize measurable impact in environmental protection and sustainability within the nautical sector.
The ambassador of the Eco Excellence Award 2026 is Šime Fantela, Olympic champion and one of Croatia’s most accomplished sailors.
Through his outstanding sporting achievements and lifelong connection to the sea, he reinforces the importance of protecting our marine environment and promoting sustainable practices.

“Not just words on paper, but a real responsibility shared by all of us who live by the sea and from the sea. I find inspiration in every initiative that encourages reducing pollution, responsible use of resources, and real change toward a cleaner Adriatic.”

Three Categories, One Goal
The awards include the ECO Excellence Award 2026 and the Award for the Best Volunteer Eco Action focused on protecting the Adriatic Sea and coastline.
This marks the fourth year of the ECO Excellence Award. The initiative highlights projects, products and actions that reduce environmental impact and support long-term sustainability in the industry.
Applications are open until Friday, October 16, 2026 at midnight. Winners will be selected by an expert jury. The awards ceremony will take place at the Captain’s Club, Marina Kornati North, on Friday, October 23, 2026 at 12:00, with media coverage.
The goal is direct: encourage responsible behaviour, reward proven solutions and strengthen awareness of environmental protection among exhibitors, visitors and the wider community.
