I’d like to travel from Budapest, Hungary, to Vienna, Austria, this summer by hydrofoil on the Danube. A one-way trip. Is that possible? What’s the price, the name of the boat company, and where can I book? Thanks

Hi there,
For boat stories in Hungary, you can find info on the Mahart / Bahart website for Lake Balaton.
They actually have some really cool vintage hydrofoils running along the Danube to Esztergom.
They’ve announced a restart for spring 2025, but I don’t think bookings are open yet. https://mahartpassnave.hu/en/timetable/hydrofoil/hydrofoil-line-budapest-vac-visegrad-esztergom-1
As for getting to Vienna, things are a bit less clear—it seems only full tours or summer weekend trips are available. Here’s where they mention it: https://mahartpassnave.hu/en/timetable/hydrofoil/vienna-by-hydrofoil
Is this what you’re talking about, or are you referring to other boats?
