Discover Tranquility Afloat on Lake Macha

Máchovo jezero regatta provides a variety of boats for enjoyable cruises, festive parties, and beautiful weddings. During the summer season, we also operate according to a regular timetable. In May and June, you can hop on a sightseeing cruise on weekends from 13:00 to 14:30. The boat will be docked at the dock in Doksy and will set sail once there are at least 15 paying passengers.
In July and August, the vessels run daily from the Doksy dock at 11:00, 13:00, 14:30, and 16:30, and from the dock in Staré Splavy at 15:00 each day. The boat will depart with a minimum of 25 passengers on board. Ticket prices are CZK 250 for adults and CZK 120 for children aged 4 to 15.

Hynek, Jarmila, May, and Seagull

The history of boating on Lake Macha dates back to 1920 when the small steamer Greif was introduced. Today, what boats are sailing on the beautiful surface of Lake Mácha? One notable ship is the passenger ship Jarmila, known for being the smallest and oldest in the fleet, celebrating its upcoming 100th anniversary. Built in 1924 in Berlin, it still operates and can carry 60 passengers. Another member of our fleet is Hynek, which was also constructed in Berlin in 1930. This fifteen-meter-long vessel has a partially covered deck and can accommodate 70 passengers.

The newest addition to our fleet is the Seagull, which first set sail in Budapest back in 1966. This boat provides comfortable seating for up to 160 guests and is available for rental for private events, parties, weddings, or corporate gatherings. Our flagship vessel is the impressive 30-meter May; if you plan to use the regular service during the holidays, you’re likely to travel on this boat, which connects all eight marinas on the lake and can hold up to 250 passengers. You won’t find a larger vessel sailing on Lake Macha.
