Hogyan kezdődött minden?

How did it all begin?

Squinting in the sunlight, a refreshing drink in hand, gently floating on the water – relaxation doesn’t get any better than this.

A few years ago, we experienced these moments exactly like this on our raft, the 'Tutaj.' The best memories were made when the right people came together: romantic hours with 'the one,' relaxing family moments with splashing children, or joyful gatherings with best friends. We spent many wonderful hours on the waters of Lake Balaton, drifting aimlessly, free from stress.

But that’s only half the story. Our raft, which was technically and legally classified as a catamaran, required a permanent berth in a marina. There it waited for us, in good weather and bad. This came with monthly costs and meant we had to arrange transport to and from the marina with a trailer (as there was, of course, not enough space on-site). We had to clean it regularly and make sure we returned to the marina on time… And before the cold season arrived, there was another challenge: packing everything up properly, securing it against storms… Was everything going to be okay?

With BalatonFloat, we’ve left these worries behind. If the weather is bad, we simply store the floating platform. But when the sun, swimming, or an adventure calls, we just load it into the car and find the perfect spot to launch it. What used to be frustrating—the same place, the same marina, the same costs—is now a thing of the past.

Now, we have the freedom to decide as we please. And the beautiful moments—like sporty water tours, romantic sunsets for two, or gatherings with friends—are even more enjoyable.
