On June 10 2009, after a long pause, the first run of hydrofoil vessel “Express Batumi” took place. The vessel travels from port of Sochi (Russia) to Batumi (Georgia) and back via Turkish port Khopa.

Starting from June 2009 the boat will regularly depart from Sochi on Wednesdays and Saturdays and from Batumi – on Mondays and Thursdays.
