点评:No real change since my 2022 review. The Wolfgangsee Schiffahrt boats provide a useful and very pleasant way of getting around the Wolfgangsee. The route between St Wolfgang and St Gilgen is particularly useful as it would otherwise be necessary to walk or to go three-quarters of the way around the lake by road to make the same journey, and it also enters the most attractive upper end of the lake.
The well-run boats provide excellent views of the shores and surrounding mountains.
The crews are thoroughly professional about coping with the large numbers of swimmers, paddleboarders, etc, often in the water around the Schiffahrt's landing places, and the longer-distance swimmers sometimes to be found mid-lake.
Some reviewers have commented that the prices seem high, but the fact is that Austria is a high-wage economy and a labour-intensive seasonal operation like this will naturally be expensive to run.
During part of July and August the 19th-century paddle-boat 'Kaiser Franz Joseph I' operates some sailings, providing a particularly pleasant journey at a very modest E1.50 supplement to the usual fares.

有些评论者认为价格似乎偏高,但事实上奥地利属于高工资国家,像这种依赖大量劳动力的季节性经营活动自然成本不菲。在7月和8月的某些时段,建于19世纪的明轮邮轮“凯瑟尔·弗朗茨·约瑟夫一世号”会开展若干航次。只需在常规票价基础上支付1.50欧元的低廉附加费,乘客即可享受一次极为惬意的航程。
