About the Amsterdam, Zeeburgereiland – Amsterdam, Sporenburg crossing
This crossing does not run at weekends. Thirty-six departures a day cover the two-tenths of a nautical mile between Zeeburgereiland and Sporenburg in seven minutes, but only from Monday to Friday — 180 sailings a week, all of them on working days.
The service window runs 07:10 to 18:50. A boat every twenty minutes through the working day and nothing at all on Saturday is the clearest possible statement of what GVB built it for.
Both banks are former docklands on Amsterdam's eastern waterfront, redeveloped into dense housing from the 1990s onward. The water between them is a working shipping channel that could not be bridged low, and the walk round adds a couple of kilometres — which is why a seven-minute ferry carries commuter traffic five days a week.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Free IJ crossings behind Centraal Station
- OVpay with debit card, phone or watch
- Amsterdam Travel Ticket covering several carriers
