Naturally by boat and with us! We are happy to provide you excellent options, like North from Budapest, where there is plenty to see in the Danube Bend (Dunakanyar) and mooring or anchoring options are also available. We can go through Szentendre Duna Branch, where we can organise the program of your choice. Let it be a simple sightseeing program or some active relaxation, like riding the bike.

You can contact us regarding your boat rental inquiries with this form. Feel free to check the FAQs on boat rental, a short summary is below
Can I fly a drone?
Nope, the area around the Hungarian Parliament is a limited airpace, so unless you have a prior written permission on flying a drone in that airspace it is not possible.
May I bring a cake?
Yes, it is possible. You can bring a cake on board, provided that you also bring the cuttlery (paper plates, forks, etc.) AND remove the rubbish from the boat PLUS make no rubbish on the boat. Placing the rubbish on the bins of the premises is not adequate in this term, in such case you will be charged with cleaning fee.
Alternatively we can provde you such cuttlery for the consumption of cake for a fee that you can add as an extra during the booking.
This is NOT VALID for ANY OTHER FOODS OR DRINKS, a BAR is ON BOARD, consumption of food and drinks not ordered from the bar is FORBIDDEN. Naturally, you may go for the foods and drinks available in the bar, our menu can be found on drinks card.
city lights, illumination, illumination by night
Budapest’s illumination by night dresses the city into a different costume and thus is really beautiful, still, we do not control that. Certain times the illumination can be dimmed or changed from the standard (color) scheme to commemorate certain occasions, like national days of Hungary or other countries, Earth Hour or fight against breast cancer. The view and the panorama is still unique with or without the illumination, that only provides an extra flavour to it.
Lights are turned on after sunset.
Lights are usually turned off at 11pm (DST time) or 10pm (non-DST time).
Portum Lines as a cruise operator has absolutely zero control over the illumination of the city.
Why do I get a second email on booking?
Our booking system (Fareharbor) is unable to generate the financial receipt needed for the payment by the relevant Hungarian laws. Therefore we use a separate service to create and send you a receipt (or invoice when you requested) from szamlazz.hu that is sent in a separate, second email.
Due to technical constraint modification/amendment of the invoice is only possible by manual method within 7 days from the issue thereof, therefore you are requested to double check the details given before clicking the button.
Can I decorate the boat?
Within the rental period you are free to decorate the boat – naturally only with decorations that can be removed without a trace. You also need to remove the decoration at the end of the rental period otherwise we will charge you with a cleaning fee.
Our colleagues will reply within a business day usually. No offers will be made on standard products, like private boat or Stag or Hen Party Cruise.
