The Beočin–Futog ferry is running again

The riverbed at the landing has been dug out to remove the sandbank. Since Friday 9 October the ferry has been taking cars and passengers across the Danube again; the first morning crossing leaves Beočin at 7:00.

In the summer and early autumn the Beočin–Futog ferry stopped several times: the Danube was low, and a sandbank formed at the landing. Now the riverbed by the ramp has been dug out, with heaps of sand left beside it, and the ferry is back in service.

On Thursday 8 October the local Facebook group “Sve i svašta Beočin” announced that the ferry would start running the next day, with the first morning crossing from Beočin at 7:00 (post). The carrier is “Neptun”; the ferry’s phone is 064 28 13 481.

Prices in 2026: car 500 dinars, bicycle 150, on foot 100. At low water the ferry can stop again, so call before a trip that depends on it.
