Departure
The Balaton Catamaran departs from the Balatonfüred port at 8:00 AM.
Please account for the short registration process in your arrival time – the spectator boat must leave the port before the race fleet starts!
Boarding
We will welcome our guests at the port, where a quick registration will be followed by boarding.
Dress code
We recommend light, comfortable clothing for casual outdoor programs and the weather. It’s essential that all our guests feel good on board, whether it’s warm or breezy. The RSM welcoming team will also greet you in relaxed attire. Part of the deck is shaded but open, so due to the expected strong sunshine, we suggest bringing a hat or cap and sunglasses.
What to bring?
We will provide snacks and refreshments during the event – there is no need to bring a bank card or cash on board.
The boat
We will follow the start of the Blue Ribbon fleet and the race section in the eastern basin from the deck of the Balaton Catamaran.
