Things to do in Budapest, Central Hungary: The Best Boat Tours & Water Sports

December 21, 2021 Marissa Gamble

Over 15 million gallons of water bubble daily into Budapest's 118 springs and boreholes. The city of spas offers an astounding array of baths, from the sparkling Gellert Baths to the vast 1913 neo-baroque Szechenyi Spa to Rudas Spa, a dramatic 16th-century Turkish pool with original Ottoman architecture. The "Queen of the Danube" is also steeped in history, culture and natural beauty. Get your camera ready for the Roman ruins of the Aquincum Museum, Heroes' Square and Statue Park, and the 300-foot dome of St. Stephen's Basilica.

Dry Martini Private Boat Tours

Budapest is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and exciting capital of the world. We were born here and we learnt and started sailing on the Danube. We love this city and we are happy every time Dry Martini leaves the harbor. We will show you this beautiful city from a perspective most people from Budapest never even seen. Though we are not professional guides, we are happy to share everything we know about Budapest; the most important buildings, stories about the bridges, baths, universities and hotels located on the banks of the Danube. If you just want to relax the deck of Dry Martini is a perfect choice. Our welcome drink is not a half glass, lukewarm Prosecco, but your favorite drink, that we gladly prepare for you, be it Gin-tonic, CubaLibre or an AperolSpritz. For us, cruising is not work, but a profession. We are excited and enthousiastic about all our trips and we want to share this feeling with you.

Similarly to the water limousine in Venice, a new line of boat model (Dunarama-30) was born, which satisfies even the most exquisite needs with its comfortable and elegant design. Dunarama-30 is a limousine offering real luxury lounge feeling. It can board 10 passengers; there is a closed cabin and an open platform, as well. The exterior is covered by mahogany and the interior is stylish, matching the appearance of the boat.
