What to do in winter in Europe when you miss your boat and the sea?
What to do in winter in Europe when you miss your boat?
The answer is simple – you go to boat shows!
Are you headed to Boot Düsseldorf 2025 next week?
We hoped to join, but unfortunately can’t make it this year.
We’re getting ready for a busy February!
What are we so busy doing?
We are for the first time participating as an exhibitor at a boat show and we are doing it in a heroic fashion!
Soledad Marine Textile will be at TWO places at the SAME time!
We are aware that is pretty ambitions. But we love the challenge!
Is it tough? Absolutely. But we never said we like things easy.
So why two? And why at the same time?
Because we couldn’t pick just one—and they both happen to be in the same week!
The Zagreb Boat Show (February 19–23, 2025) is right in our own backyard, and we’re proud to represent our Croatian heritage. It’s a chance to catch up with old friends in the nautical industry and make a whole bunch of new ones.
Meanwhile, The Bosphorus Boat Show (February 15–22, 2025) in Istanbul is the world’s second-largest land-based boat fair, just behind Boot Düsseldorf—and if it’s in Istanbul, you know it’s going to be spectacular! Plus, how could we pass up showing off our finest marine textiles from Turkey’s textile capital, Denizli?
So, here we are, juggling two shows at once! Being new to the fair scene certainly makes things interesting, but we’re bursting with pride in our products and brand, and we can’t wait to show it all to YOU.
