The journey
The Mahart hydrofoil is the fast way up the Danube from Budapest: it leaves at 9:30, stops at Vác at 10:10 and Visegrád at 10:30 and reaches Esztergom at 11:00. The return leaves Esztergom at 16:30, passes Visegrád at 17:00 and reaches Budapest at 18:00. It travels at 65–70 km/h, with panoramic windows and a toilet.
When it runs
It is not a daily service: in 2026 it sailed only on some long weekends between May and September (1 to 3 May, 23 to 25 May, 26 to 28 June, 24 to 26 July, 20 to 23 August and 18 to 20 September). The 2027 dates are published in spring.
