Monaco remains one of the few places where the global yachting industry feels both concentrated and conversational.
With Port Hercule at the centre of its maritime life, the Principality gives brokerage houses, owners, shipyards and advisors a setting where business often begins face to face.
Navis Marine’s new office in Monaco places the company directly inside that ecosystem, extending its Adriatic experience into one of the Mediterranean’s most visible luxury yacht markets.

Port Hercule gives Navis Marine a sharper Mediterranean foothold
A Port Hercule address is more than a postcard location for a yacht company.
It puts Navis Marine close to the daily rhythm of Monaco’s yachting trade, from private owners and advisors to brokerage specialists and shipyard representatives moving through the Principality’s marina network.
The move builds on a business founded in 2010 by Gordan Zadro, with activities spanning new yacht sales, brokerage, charter management and yacht consultancy.
Navis Marine has developed its footprint across Croatia and Slovenia, and the Monaco office now gives the company a more direct connection to clients operating across the wider Mediterranean.
That geography matters in a market where relationships, timing and proximity often influence how serious yacht transactions are handled.
A Wine Palace reception with a distinctly Monaco mood
The opening was marked with an evening gathering at Wine Palace, a venue well suited to the kind of polished but unforced hospitality that works in Monaco.
Guests included clients, industry professionals, journalists and familiar figures from the local yachting community.
The atmosphere was less about spectacle and more about conversation, with the reception serving as a natural meeting point for people already connected through the Mediterranean boating scene.
Selected wines, refined interiors and measured hosting gave the event a sense of occasion without pulling attention away from the company’s new chapter.
For a brokerage business entering Monaco, that tone feels appropriate.
The Principality rewards discretion and consistency as much as visibility, especially in a sector where confidence is built over years rather than announced in a single evening.
From Adriatic expertise to international brokerage
During the evening, Chief Operating Officer Fredrik Delić described Monaco as a natural meeting point for the international yachting industry.
His remarks underlined the company’s aim to link its Adriatic operations more closely with the broader Mediterranean market.
Founder and CEO Gordan Zadro also reflected on the company’s development since 2010, with an emphasis on professionalism, integrity and long-term commitment.
Those values are especially relevant in yacht brokerage, where reputation tends to carry as much weight as inventory.
The Monaco office will operate as Navis Marine’s international sales and brokerage hub, giving clients access to premium vessels across multiple markets.
It will also serve as the exclusive representative for Solaris and Stradivari boating brands, adding a clear commercial role to the new address.
Carlos Vassallo leads the local commercial direction
The Monaco operation sits under the commercial direction of Carlos Vassallo, whose role will support the company’s integration into the Principality’s yachting landscape.
That local leadership is important in a market where the best opportunities often come through established networks and trusted introductions.
For Navis Marine, Monaco is not simply a symbolic expansion.
It creates a working base in one of the industry’s most active meeting points, while reinforcing the company’s service reach for owners and buyers moving between European waters.
The opening adds another brokerage name to Monaco’s maritime environment, but its significance lies in the connection between an established Adriatic business and a global yachting hub.
As the Mediterranean market continues to evolve, Navis Marine’s Port Hercule presence gives the company a practical platform for growth, relationship-building and long-term participation in one of luxury yachting’s most influential addresses.
