Bahart, which operates ferries and pleasure craft on Lake Balaton, carried 2,326,000 passengers in the 2025 season, up 53,000 from a year earlier, the company said on Friday.
Passenger numbers on car ferries rose 15,000 to 1,425,000 and fares on passenger boats climbed 38,000 to 901,000.
The company explained that the number of passengers on scheduled services between towns, family discounts, and the increasing number of cyclists traveling by boat played a decisive role in the growth. Scheduled boats carried more than 664,000 passengers, 7.3% more than in the same period in 2024. The most popular routes in 2025 were again Fonyód–Badacsony and Siófok–Balatonfüred–Tihany.
