Sunshine, Sailing, and Networking: The 12th Business Yacht Day Held in Balatonkenese – PHOTO GALLERY
On Saturday, May 10, the shores of Lake Balaton came alive once again as the 12th Business Yacht Day unfolded in Balatonkenese, organised by Perla Service under the leadership of István Bárány. The event took place at the scenic Hotel Marina Port, welcoming over 350 invited guests for a day of relaxation, water sports, and socialising.
This exclusive annual gathering, held every May, has become a cherished tradition among business leaders, diplomats, and their families. In glorious sunshine, the highlight of the event was—unsurprisingly—the sailing. Guests had the opportunity to try out a wide range of watercraft, including sailboats, catamarans, electric boats, and inflatable motorboats.
On land, activities were just as engaging: children enjoyed bouncy castles and electric toy cars, while older participants could test their skills on a racing motorcycle simulator, try their hand at airsoft shooting, or experience archery.
Guests were also able to test-drive vehicles from the Emil Frey fleet. Meanwhile, sponsors showcased their products with an impressive selection of local wines, grilled delicacies, and traditional Hungarian pastries.
Among the attendees were several ambassadors, diplomats, and prominent company executives with their families. Media presence included Alpár Kató, owner of Daily News Hungary and Helló Magyar, who joined the event with his family and editorial team.
As organiser István Bárány noted: “The beautiful weather and great company created the perfect atmosphere for a carefree day of leisure and networking for both children and adults.”
Looking ahead, the next major event from Perla Service will be the Business Golf Day held in Bükfürdő in mid-June. Planning for the 2026 edition of the Business Yacht Day is already underway.
