Hungary — at a glance
20 boats are available to book across 2 departure bases. The largest are Kisköre (14), Tokaj (6). The fleet is 20 motor boats. Weekly prices start from €2,149 for a motor boat; every price on this page is the boat’s own listed rate for 7 nights, before extras.
When to go
Lake Tisza and the Tisza river run from May to September, with the water warmest in July and August and the lake at its quietest in June and the first half of September. The lake is shallow, sheltered and full of birds - it is a national park - and the boats are rented by the week or for long weekends without a licence. Balaton, Hungary's sailing lake, is a separate market with its own club fleets and is not on this page.
Where to sail in Hungary
Boat rental on Lake Tisza from Kisköre
Kisköre, at the dam that created Lake Tisza, is the base for the lake: channels through reed beds and flooded forest, the bird reserve at Poroszló, the beaches at Abádszalók, and the river itself north towards Tiszafüred. Motor cruisers and small houseboats for two to eight people, licence-free after a briefing.
Boats leave from Kisköre 14
River cruising on the Tisza from Tokaj
Tokaj, where the Bodrog meets the Tisza in the wine region, is the second base: slow river, vineyards on the bank, the Bodrog upstream to Sárospatak and the Tisza downstream towards the lake. A quieter, wine-country version of the same week.
Boats leave from Tokaj 6
Bareboat, skippered or crewed
Motor boats up to a set engine size are rented without a licence on Lake Tisza and the river after a handover at the base; the boats on this page are all in that class. There is no skippered or crewed product here, and no sailing fleet.
