Shaping the future of maritime culture! 🌊

We are thrilled to share the video and photos from our Propeller Day 2026 Gala cocktail evening.

We extend our warmest thanks to all our distinguished attendees, and specifically to our International President, Costis Frangoulis, for joining us.

Together with Navigation Maritime Bulgare, we proudly launched the "Adopt a Ship" Bulgaria program. This innovative project will bridge school classrooms with real seafarers to foster maritime awareness from an early age.

This impactful launch wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible sponsors:💼 Thank you to Cargill, Laytime.com, Bulgarian Register of Shipping, Bon Marine, Triton Port Agencies, and Smart Design.

What a remarkable and truly successful day aboard the Barkentine KALIAKRA. We began with an elegant w**e presentation from Chateau Boshnakov, setting the perfect tone for an inspiring maritime gathering.

We were delighted to host this exceptional maritime industry event, which brought together local professionals and international maritime guests, whose participation made the day even more meaningful. 🌟

The atmosphere was elevated even further by the outstanding live performances of our wonderful friends Reinaldo Droz (tenor) and Ilina Mihaylova (soprano), creating unforgettable moments for everyone on board.

This cruise was part of our already traditional Propeller Day celebration — an annual tribute to Bulgaria’s maritime industry, its people, and its enduring spirit.

Grateful to all partners, supporters, and friends who joined us and contributed to the success of Propeller Day 2026.

Proud to continue sailing forward with Adopt A Ship Bulgaria. ⛵

To make things even better, both the cruise and the gala cocktail will be liquified with well‑crafted special w**es from Chateau Boshnakov — because every great maritime story deserves a great Bulgarian w**e.
