Waterborne transportation
Have you ever considered getting to your destination by water instead of taking the bike, bus or car?
As a port city, Rotterdam obviously has an extensive network of shore-to-shore connections. Avoid traffic jams or simply enjoy a trip in a Water Taxi or Waterbus and get to know a new side of the port!
Plan your route on the water
There is an extensive network across the Rotterdam waters, provided by various service providers. Check out the possibilities for your trip!
Water taxi
The classic boats of the water taxi service operate between Hotel New York, the Veerhaven and the Leuvehaven. Modern, fast water taxis also sail on the River Maas. A part of the fleet runs on hydrogen and green energy. With over fifty stops, there’s always a stop nearby.
Waterbus
The Waterbus’s frequent scheduled services allow you to travel in comfort, without traffic jams, between Rotterdam, the Drecht towns, Ridderkerk, Krimpen a/d Lek and Kinderdijk.
Hoeksveer
From April to September, pedestrians and cyclists can use the direct ferry connection between the Hook of Holland and Maasvlakte 2. During these months, the ferry sails seven days a week between the Berghaven in Hoek van Holland and Maasvlakte 2. The ferry is not suitable for mopeds, scooters, and motorized bicycles.
