Bahart ships for Lake Balaton

The Bahart ships for the Lake Balaton project comprise a fleet of two catamarans and two ferries, representing a modern solution for transporting tourists on Europe’s largest lake. The designs prioritize passenger comfort, capacity, durability, and fuel efficiency while presenting a cohesive visual identity for the Bahart brand. These vessels mark a significant advancement in ship design and promise a new chapter in the shipping heritage of Central and Eastern Europe.

The project was initiated to address the increased demand for modern, sustainable transport on Lake Balaton and to replace outdated ships that no longer meet contemporary standards for passenger safety, comfort, and economic efficiency.

This distinctive fleet features a unified design language across both the catamarans and ferries, establishing a strong visual identity for Bahart. Innovations in eco-efficiency and passenger comfort make these vessels stand out on Lake Balaton. They embody the brand’s forward-thinking approach and serve as prominent symbols of maritime progress in a region that is renewing its commitment to modern solutions after decades of stagnation.
