At the launch press conference, Gábor Lombár, the mayor of Balatonfenyves, recalled that in 1997, the plan was created for the settlement to have a port for the local sailing association and a scheduled boat service, which has now been fully realized.

He suggested that the nearby presence of the Fenyves light railway, the small Nagy-Berek lake and the Cszista thermal spa would also make it worthwhile sailing from the northern coast to Balatonfenyves.
