😠 Imagine the worst party music... then double it. That's what the "DJ" is "spinning" on this boat. No one was dancing the entire evening. Drinks are pretty weak too; they messed up a vodka soda!? To be fair the boat was nice and the staff, friendly and professional. The scenery is beautiful and fell...

    Imagine the worst party music... then double it. That's what the "DJ" is "spinning" on this boat. No one was dancing the entire evening. Drinks are pretty weak too; they messed up a vodka soda!? To be fair the boat was nice and the staff, friendly and professional. The scenery is beautiful and fellow guests seem nice. Would be a generally great experience if the music was half decent. If this was a club, the music would have made us want to leave 10-minuites into the evening. Instead we were trapped for 2.5 hours.😩

    Make sure to take your time when booking and ensure you are going with 'Budapest Boat Party' not the other company in the the city 'Boat Party Budapest'. Budapest Boat Party is an incredible long established company that we have used for years. The other company appears to have come in and started (badly) running boat parties under a similar name in the hopes of riding on their coat tails. Unfortunately the stories coming from the newer company are pretty shockingly bad.

    Was here on the 31st of December hopping I will have an excellent party when I arrive I had a nasty shock the guy scanned my ticket and said is already been used it. I said impossible since is not new year yet. Lucky me a guy scanned again my ticket and took a wise decision to let me in , and he gave me an upgrade ticket all inclusive it...... for the inconvenience ..... I was wondering I will end with out a New Years party, after I paid well in advance for the ticket. The party was ok. We did couple of laps around the river, upstairs was open quiet, not music only you could seat to enjoy the scenery and that it. Drinks were basic

    The boat party was the highlight of my trip to Budapest! The absolute best views of the skyline and beautiful bridges along the Danube river at night WITH an open bar! It was great having the drinks pre-poured so no long lines to wait in! Instead you can just grab a drink and head to the open top deck dance floor to party. The free after party was great too, skipped the line to the club and just kept partying. Highly recommended!

    Fantastic events, superb atmosphere, gorgeous views of Budapest, while enjoying 2-3-4 different types of music on the dancefloors of the awesome boats, great cocktails and the most brilliant, friendly and fun staff I've ever met. Would recommend checking them out from the bottom of my heart. Rock on Budapest Boat Party!

    I've been on many boat parties in Budapest, and I can say for sure that this is the best boat party in Budapest! The all-you-can-drink package was definitely worth it. I'd do it again for sure, and I would recommend everyone who wants a fun party to try it.

    We had an awesome time on this two hours cruise that takes you up and down the Duna. For a mere 30 Euro you get unlimited beer, wine and they even include vodka, rum and gin. We all agreed it was worth at least worth $100 for this great time. Make sure you book the boat early as it sells out in advance!

    It was awesome, the party consisted of a very diverse crowd of people from all over the world, the music was fun; the DJ talented. It rained the entire time and my friends and I still loved every minute of it. At the end of the cruise you get the option to head into the city (on a night bus, great vibe) and you get free entry into a Nightclub. Sounds great right? No, the place is a tourist trap, they upsell like crazy and don't take no for an answer. Good luck trying to get a refund. When we saw our bill had the most expensive spirits for everything we asked for the money back before the drinks were poured. The barmaid ignored us and Security were called. I was very disappointed that this amazing experience ended this way... Despite that I'd still recommend this Boat cruise on a Friday night.

    Can't recommend this party. There was no cruise. The service is inefficient they prefer to serve there own crew. The boot itself was in a good condition.

    The best thing about it was the Donau boat ride and the view, so you should better book an other company. I usually don't write bad comments, but this time I have to warn other people. I've booked at the offical site of "get your guide" this tour. At the check in at the boat I had problems. I felt like I would be a criminal at the beginning at the "check in". The women wanted to see over and over again my PayPal that I bougt it (I paid), my confirmation Mail (I had them) and she wanted my personal informations and my mail adress. Wish I had leave this boat.The other people don't had these problems. It was really rude, cause I paid for that and I got in my confirmation Mail the details about the adress, time and everything. I paid for that. Later that night I've paid different prices for the same drink. The Bar down was 500 HUF more expensive. So after all of that, I hope you don't do the same mistake and book that trip. Do you want trouble for something you paid for? No, thanks. The music was also bad and old songs.

    Booked this via our Hostel. We got the all in package for €38. It was raining heavily so the party was inside, but let's just say it was clear the party is normally on the upper outside deck. They did have a little tent, but it was too small for all the people. None of the less, the music was good. I can't find myself in the other reviews where they complained about that. The partying was okayish, we had a group of 5 but a lot of people just stood and enjoyed their drinks. The mixed drinks were weak, luckily our barguy later offered to make them more strong! Cheers to that After the boat the whole group went to a great club with a partybus. All in all, I did like the experience. €38 was a bit too much and if you're expecting a full on party, this isn't your thing. But you meet some fun people, and after all, you have to make your own party!

    So much fun and one of my highlights of visiting Budapest! The views from the boat are absolutely stunning - everything on the river is lit up. The drinks were flowing and the DJ was awesome, everyone got loose and danced on the open top deck. The boat crew were super helpful and friendly as well, and there was even a free glitter stand! Would actually pay to do it again it was so much fun.

    Completely recommended to do this party. One of the best experiences in Budapest. You get to see the city on the first part of the trip and party on the second half.

    Not worth €23 at all. The music was dry and there was a lack of atmosphere. The only decent thing about it was the views along the river. Spent most the night wanting to get off the boat :/

    The Sunset Drift boat cruise is hands doen the best party cruise I have ever done. If you get the chance, do it! Great staff, great DJs and stunning views.

    6 times I’ve been back to Budapest and have joined the boat party countless times (it’s on multiple times a week so you don’t miss out - AMAZING) it continues to be the highlight . Not only do you get amazing photos of the sights, YOU GET UNLIMITED ALCOHOL with likeminded backpackers. So many travellers all enjoying the experience and having a great time that leads to a night they may not remember afterwards. We got entry to the best clubs I’ve been to in Europe and the staff on the boat were incredibly nice. 11/10 Would recommend.

    Best boat parties not only in town, but across Europe, and I’ve been to several ones... :) The legendary, the ORIGINAL, the BIGGEST boat party company of Budapest! Make sure not to mix it up with one of the copycats with resembling names, cause You’ll be disappointed that you could’ve ended up on a waaaaay other level of entertainment! Choose wisely, choose the original one, choose #BUDAPESTBOATPARTY⚓️

    We can highly recommend the Budapest Boat Party. Grap a couple of drinks and have a beautiful view on the famous buildings of Budapest. Only the music could have been a bit more state of the art (mostly from 2007-2017) - but all in all a great adventure!

    It was an awesome party with a great vibe on the Danube river. Just be careful because there's no food, only drinks, and you're locked on a boat for like 3 hours. But what do you expect, it's a damn party boat. :D I went multiple times and had a blast each time. Can only recommend it.

    We had a super fun time on the boat party. It is very well organised, with designated bars to reflect each drinks package. The drinks were well-poured and strong. We found the DJs fantastic, particularly the first DJ and the crowd starting dancing almost immediately upon boarding the boat. The staff are friendly. The buildings are lit up for the first hour of sailing and then the sailing is on a different end of the water where it is nice and there aren’t many other boats. It was super fun and worth the money.

    One of the best ways to experience Budapest on water while also having a great time with drinks and music! The staff were professional but also knew how to have fun. Unlike most boat parties, this one actually leaves the dock and moves up and down the Danube, so the photo opportunities, especially outside of Parliament Building, are a must!

  • 1/5 Ann R. 3 months ago on Google New
    This cruise is unfortunately not worth paying 175 euros per person, as it is a SCAM. The first thing is the BAD ORGANIZATION, A HORRIBLE SERVICE, the sandwiches were cold and they did not replace them and they did not clean the mess that others made when they dropped food on the floor, a bad smell as if no one had bathed, the unbearable heat, the staff speaking badly to you when you asked for something, the old and damaged boat, the damaged ladder and seeing the fireworks from there was not a big deal either. Something that is also worrying is that they do not give you safety instructions in case the boat sinks or something happens to it, there were no life jackets, no entertainment, terrible music, I would definitely not repeat this experience again, especially if my life is in danger.

  • 5/5 Abdulsalam k. 5 months ago on Google
    Didn't expect a boat to fit that many people. Salsa was really helpful at the hostel, she explained all the events they do and I wish I saw it earlier, I would have done more. It was my last night in Budapest so we went to the boat party. It was very fun and even though the weather wasn't the best, the vibe made up for it.

  • 5/5 Adam T. 5 months ago on Google
    Make sure to jump on board this if you're ever in Budapest. Great vibe, great DJ and lots of people from around the world to meet. The staff was incredible, one of the staff Salsa, she was fantastic, checked on me and my friends to be sure we were having a good time. Overall, a brilliant experience.

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 8 months ago on Google
    This Boat Party was just amazing, the music, the view, all the staff members were absolutely brilliant and so lovely. When my friends and I arrived, immediately one of the staff members, Phil welcomed us and hyped us up for the party, so we knew from the start “Okay this is going to be fun 🤩 “ And it was!

  • 5/5 Ahmed E. 1 year ago on Google
    The best boat party in Budapest. I literally enjoy everything. 10/10 would recommend.

  • 5/5 jamie j. 9 months ago on Google
    The boat party was an amazing surprise. It lasts 2 hours as it travels the length of the river and this is the perfect amount of time to sit back, enjoy the music, views and mingle with the people. Of course, it can be hit and miss on getting the right people however, on this occasion everyone was well up for a social which made the time fly. Would recommend again and again.

  • 5/5 Данила �. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently attended a birthday party in Budapest with my best friend and it was amazing. The highlight of the night was definitely the Danube Beat Boat party, which was a blast. The music was fantastic and the atmosphere was energized. One of the most memorable parts of the night was the MC, Arina. She was incredible and made sure that everyone was having a great time. She kept the party going all night long with her energy and charisma. Her enthusiasm was infectious and everyone was dancing and having a great time because of her. Overall, I had a fantastic time at the birthday party and would recommend the Danube Beat Boat party and Arina to anyone looking to have a great time in Budapest. If you're looking for an unforgettable night full of great music, dancing, and amazing people, then this is the place to be. I can't wait to go back and experience it all over again.

    Recently, I visited the Danube Beat Boat party with friends, where we celebrated my friend's birthday. It was the best day and party in the last year.The place is amazing, I was very lucky to get here. I advise everyone who wants to celebrate any event in a fun and cool way to spend the night in Budapest in this place!!! Separately, I remember Arina, a wonderful cheerful girl, she helped us maintain the festive spirit of the event, which she definitely did!

    Hi, guys. I want to share a review about a trip to Budapest. My friend decided to celebrate his birthday on the Danube Beat Boat Party. It was definitely the best idea! The atmosphere was very cool all evening. I would like to express my gratitude to Arina, she talked a lot with us all evening and gave unforgettable emotions. After the party on the ship, we went to the club. It was a wonderful end of the evening.

    Hello, I'm from Kazakhstan myself and flew to Budapest with my friends to celebrate the wedding anniversary of our good friends. While surfing the Internet, they found the Ultimate Budapest website, where they saw that the team of guys was having parties, and were interested in it. They bought us with an unlimited ticket and we had a great time, all thanks to cool music and pleasant staff (I would like to single out Arina, who set the tone for our fun). I was satisfied with the evening and will definitely come back here again if I need to spend the holiday with friends!

  • 3/5 Sofia B. 11 months ago on Google
    The party was nice because of the view and of the fact that one is having a completely new experience. However, the DJ was kinda bad and the drinks had so little alcohol that I feel like it’s a crime to ask people to pay that much money for them. Before we get on the boat, we stay in line and wait and then, we are let inside the boat where we wait again… to receive wristbands. It gets crowded and really warm inside while one waits. The stairs to the top of the boat are extremely steep. The party bus from the boat to the club house was okay and the overall organisation of getting from the boat to the club was great. The club afterwards was fine but nothing remarkable.

  • 1/5 Michel 1 year ago on Google
    The entire bar staff is rude and ignorant. Expect to pay the full price for the worst and cheapest alcohol ever. Luckily, the view made up for it. However, the same view can be enjoyed from any other boat or just from the promenade.

    Really bad experience. The tour over the water by night is really nice but that’s all. The DJ only played Dubstep/Progressive House and right now (11:40 pm) NO ONE is dancing. I just asked if they could play a song for my friends birthday at midnight and the Dj laughed at me and said „Absolutely not - I have a strict schedule.“ How about playing what the guests wanna hear?

    The after and uparty Rowdy has unruly and riwdy bouncers. They start physically assaulting you cause you have a cigarette in hand. Not cool at all. A little politeness would be respected. Just a simple "stub your cigarette please" suffices.

    Budapest Boat Party is THE place to party if you want an authentic Danube boat cruise. Not to be confused with the copycat Boat Party Budapest, Budapest Boat Party has the best connections, best staff and will work hard to help you make the best memories you wont remember

  • 1/5 Holger F. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately it was really tiresome. Music by DJ was also really cruel. Cola whiskey is unfortunately also missing as a drink. Sparkling wine and beer does not fit on my list. A pity, I hoped for more. Other guests on deck started playing BierPong because the party on deck was so boring. Better music and more choice of beverage list would be nice. The staff on board was really nice! (Original) Leider war es echt ermüdend. Musik von DJ war auch echt grausam. Cola-Whisky fehlt leider auch als Getränk. Sekt und Bier passt nicht auf meine Liste. Schade, hab mir mehr erhofft. Andre Gäste haben unter Deck begonnen BierPong zu spielen, weil die Party an Deck so öde war. Bessere Musik und mehr Auswahl an der Getränkeliste wäre nett. Das Personal an Board war aber wirklich nett!

    Had the chance to do one of these insane boat parties whilst in Budapest with some friends, last year. It did not disappoint. I can barely remember getting off the boat, but whilst on it it was the biggest party of the entire trip. If you can manage it, definitely have a go.

  • 5/5 Noel P. 4 years ago on Google
    I absolutely loved my experiences with Budapest Boat Party. I have visited Budapest three times and booked a cruise or a bar-crawl with Budapest Boat Party every time because of how well run, exciting, and fun they are. The staff are attentive and engaging so even if you are a solo traveller you are included in the fun. The drinks are generous, the music is great, and the atmosphere is electric. I loved how often photographers were on board so that you could enjoy professional photos of a night out and have a keepsake of your wild night.

    Budapest Boat Party provides some of the most incredible boat parties you will find in all of Europe. Not to be confused with lesser, inferior and all around trash Boat Party Budapest - a company which formed in an attempt to attract people by copying everything they do even their logo.

    Absolutely the most fun, hectic boat party in Budapest! The DJs are sick, the staff are awesome, and the unlimited beer and wine on board is serve yourself so you don't have to worry about not getting your money's worth - do yourself a favor and stop questioning if you should do it and just book now!

    Are you ready to attend the most insane, fun, breathtaking, and intense boat party of your life? Hell yeah you are. This event is held by Budapest Boat Party and they are the same company behind Bingo Bar Crawl.... they know how to throw a rager. I’ve never had so much fun with people I don’t remember on a boat with unlimited booze and insane fun. Shoutout to my boy Jake and Yas. You all are champions and made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommended.
