About
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.

My friends and I booked this river cruise tour either the night before or day of the tour; they were very accommodating considering our last minute plans. There were 7 of us and we fit very comfortably on the pontoon boat with the bartender and captain.
It was a one hour, evening tour on the Danube River, perfect for capturing the sunset.
Our first drink was free then we were able to continue ordering drinks until the end of the tour.
The bartender, who was the son of the captain, was very knowledgeable of his city and was happy to answer any questions we asked.
Gorgeous, one of a kind picture opportunities. So glad they were able to fit us in, would do it again in a heartbeat.
Bring a sweater or jacket; River is chilly in the fall.

The best thing we did in Budapest was to hire the Dry Martini for a magical two hour tour along the Blue Danube with the music of Rod Stewart singing the classics playing in the background. As far as we know, hosts Sandor and Mate run an awesome tour of Budapest in the most unique pontoon boat complete with plush, comfortable seating and a wonderful full-stocked bar to boot. Take the sunset and blue tour, you will never regret it. This private boat tour well deserves its number one rating.
Kudos and our thanks go out to the family Galambos for making our stay in Budapest better than magic.

Has been receiving mail for evaluation, there has been no time. Today must give a five-star praise!
We are five adults and two children, I am responsible for booking. My brother's life quality is relatively high, I am worried that I can not meet the standard cruise ship. Because during the visit, I see the cruise ships are the kind of public cruise, it is very old and ugly.
I saw the picture of Dry Martini in the morning, and I fell in love with it immediately. And the price is very reasonable, not expensive at all (according to my brother's words, it is very cheap)! Seven people, just sit on a public cruise ship, per capita head count, but also to pay almost money, such a little price difference in exchange for a stunning private space, too value, too value! I love Dry Martini too much. At that time, I filled in the credit card information online and paid a deposit. Normally, I would not indiscriminately fill out credit card information on pages I did not know.
Boarded the boat at the dock and found everything was so amazing. Dry Martini's maintenance was great and the facilities were fresh and clean. Very handsome captain and sunshine waiter are particularly friendly.
Sitting in such a private boat, tour the Danube, it is definitely a happy ah. Look at the old public boat around the others, it is definitely full of happiness ah!
Excursion time is only an hour, of course, for tourists, enough enough, after all, left the center also nothing to see. Moreover, the main is the mood, mood.
Dry Martini in the picture at night the lighting effects are particularly beautiful, but this time there is no blessing experience.
Anyway, I'm proud I booked Dry Martini, I think my big brother and companions are very satisfied. I strongly recommend Dry Martini to all friends who travel to Budapest. If I would take a boat trip with other friends on the Danube in Budapest in the future, I only selected Dry Martini. Dry Martini is a sense of happiness. Dry Martini is decent!

For our first night in Budapest we booked the sunset cruise. I highly recommend this to everyone looking for a special experience. From the initial call to inquire, Sandor and the team was so professional and prompt in corresponding. On the morning of the cruise Sandor sent me an email offering to cancel it because of a dip in temperature. We chose to keep the reservation and I am so glad we did so. The city was so beautiful. The drinks were flowing. Our group had a great time and it was a fantastic introduction to Budapest.

we took the one hour sunset cruise, and we were treated to the beautiful sunset and the city when the lights come on. it was amazing. the private boat was very personal, with a bar and drinks. the final minutes of the cruise speeding over the river was exhilarating. highly recommended.

I was looking for something special for my husband's 30th birthday, and stumbled upon the Dry Martini Boat service. So glad I chose it! Sandor was very helpful, responsive, flexible (weather app was showing thunderstorms on that week so Sandor agreed to book another slot for me in case the given day would not work out). Finally the weather was perfect and we all had a blast with a group of friends. So many memories and nice pictures :) The boat itself is modern, perfectly suitable for a group of 10. I can honestly recommend it for any type of occasions, sightseeing or simply as a great surprise. Wish the crew only prosperity!

What a magical and incredible experience we had with Dry Martini! We were 6 girls on
a Hen Do and right from the start we had such a warm welcome from both hosts. The boat was absolutely amazing with fantastic hospitality on board. We loved the lounge at the front, the cocktail bar, lights etc everything! They played great music with spectacular views of Budapest lit up at night. We all had so much fun and agreed this was our favourite experience in Budapest. Highly recommended and would definitely book again. Thank you.

Hello, how long in advance we have to book the tours? what is the duration and price of tours? we are 2 adults and 2 children (7 y.o.). Thank you!
Written May 6, 2018
Dear Aivars,
Our shorthest tour is 30 minutes the price of it, at day time is 150 euros, but 1 hour is better i think. Our average price is 235 euros/h but it can change. For example the sunset tour is costs 285 euros and after sunset the price is 265 euro/boat/h.
Our favorite program is the French breakfast it cost 235 euros/boat/h + 13 euros/person/h for the breakfeast, it is usually between 9 am to 12am.
All of hour tours includes 1 welcome drinks for everyone in every hour and we have got also non-alcholok drinks for the children.
If you have any further questions feel free to ask!
Best,
Sandor Galambos

I am considering Dry Martini in Budapest for a family of 8. If you take the sunset cruise do you see enough of the architecture at night? I hear that is the really beautiful part. I'm debating between sunset vs. night cruise.
Written May 1, 2018
Hi happy78,
Then the perfect choice is the Sunset tour becuase at the beging you can see the city without lights and of course the buildings are visible and the 2nd part of the tour the lights are coming up and you can see the lighted up buildings which are wonderful.
Have a nice day!
If you have any furhter questions feel free to ask!
Best,

Sandor. We would like to come on July 18 around 2 pm.
We were thinking one hour- unless there are spectacular things to see that you think will take longer- then maybe 90 minutes?
Please confirm back
