On the ticket purchase (click for more on this …)

I would like to buy a gift voucher

Naturally, you can find that from the menu or just click: purchase gift voucher

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.

I need invoice on third party booking

When you need an invoice (VAT invoice) on a third party booking, then you need to provide use the following details:
– booking identifier – NOT your booking name, user name or password
– name on the invoice
– your VAT/Tax No. (when you have such)
– your full address (street, house, city, counrty, zip)
– your email
Failing to provide the above data makes it impossible to deliver an invoice.
Please note that the email on the invoice will be delivered to the address provided, therefore it is preferred that you use your normal, regular email address not the temporary like the one provided by Getyourguide, Viator. Pictures or data not meeting the above set will not be processed.
Please also note that invoices may only be requested for two weeks from the time the cruise took place.
In case the booking is made on our website, then the invoice is immediately issued – as an automatic invoicing software is in place there.

Can I book on the boat,Is there a purchase option on-site,Is there a physical place we can buy tickets

Primarily you can buy tickets to our cruises via our website with a card.

For our sightseeing cruises yes, but only if there are free places. There is risk that our colleagues can not sell you tickets if the capacity is full, but likely you can buy extra tickets on-site. Ticket purchased on sight are EUR 15 (HUF 6000) / person. Cash and card payment is also possible.

Pre-purchased tickets have priority at boarding.

Can I eat or drink on the boat?

Naturally, there is a bar on-board, we are happy to serve your preferred drinks during the cruise. You’ll find the prices on our drinks menu. Also we serve light snacks on certain cruises. Providing cooked food is not possible on our sightseeing cruises for legal compliance, though in case of boat rental even a dinner for 2 is possible.

toilet, restroom

Is there a toilet on board? Yes, all of our boats have a toilet on-board.

Do I need to take the ticket for the trip? Are the tickets for a specific person?

The passengers are identified on the basis of the ticket, so you have to present the ticket that enables you to participate. But we love trees, so the presentation by a smart device like phone or tablet is perfect.
However, IDs are not checked, only the number and type of the tickets. Therefore the first presenter of a valid ticket will be allowed to travel.

Are there restrooms on board?

Naturally, each of our boats is equipped with a restroom. The restrooms are not usable from the time the boat approaches the port – approx. 5 minutes before arrival.
