The national nautical chain and the regional leader of the nautical sector, ACI dd, once again this year participated in the largest global nautical fair, Boot Düsseldorf, where it presented the company's latest projects, novelties in its offer, offered a B2B segment, and enabled sailors to book their berth in one of the 22 marinas on the Adriatic.

ACI demonstrated its presence at one of the world's most relevant boating fairs, Boot Düsseldorf, with an exhibition area where interested boaters, guests and potential partners had the opportunity to learn more about the company's projects and talk to ACI representatives about possible collaborations. The focus of ACI's participation at the fair this year is aimed at marking the jubilee 40th anniversary of business, and  On that occasion, visitors were presented with four decades of nautical excellence in the Mediterranean, numerous nautical strides that ACI has taken throughout its history, setting trends, not only in nautical, but also in top sports and sustainable business.

ACI's participation this year was magnified by an opportunity to socialize with partners and the media, which was attended by the President of the Management Board Kristijan Pavić and the celebrated Croatian Olympian, ACI's ambassador, Ivica Kostelić.

"Celebrating the jubilee 40th anniversary, I would like to first of all thank all current and former employees of the company who built today's ACI and established it as a regional leader in the nautical sector through four decades of successful business and pushing the boundaries of national nautical. Today, we focus on listening to the needs of boaters all over the Adriatic coast. We also continue to provide full support to our ambassadors, top athletes, including our sailing ace, Ivica Kostelić", he pointed out Kristijan Pavić, President of the Management Board of ACI dd

The famous Croatian Olympian, former skier, and today a top sailor, Ivica Kostelić is one of the most prominent ambassadors of the company ACI dd. Last season he sailed on the boat with the symbolic name "ACI 40", with which he finally won the Mediterranean Championship in the 40 class. Croatian the Olympian thus crowned the 40th anniversary of the company's business, and he also joined ACI at the big nautical fair in Düsseldorf.

"The past sailing season was extremely successful, I managed to win the title of the champion of the Mediterranean in the 40 class. For me, it was the most successful season since I have been sailing in the 40 class and I am very happy that ACI could support me on this journey. Considering the anniversary that we are celebrating here, the boat was also named "ACI 40" and under that name it won the Mediterranean Championship. Next season the ship will be idle. It is probably a season of transition in which I prepare my return to the Atlantic with the main goal – racing in the Jacques Vabre and Route du Rhum regattas. It is interesting to see the entire industry gathered at this fair. The special atmosphere and size of this event is impressive", he pointed out Ivica Kostelić.

Visitors to the fair at ACI's stand had the opportunity to ask about moorings and find out all the relevant information about the services that the Croatian nautical chain provides in its marinas.

With its traditional participation and presentation of its services and available benefits on site, ACI once again significantly contributed to the holding of one of the world's largest nautical events and repositioned Croatian nautical on the world nautical map.
