About the Dordrecht, Hooikade – Zwijndrecht, Veerplein crossing
Forty-one departures from 06:20 to 20:30, twenty-eight of which run every day. Four hundred metres of the Oude Maas, timed at 7 minutes.
Three calendars, and the morning is the narrow one
The all-week service occupies the middle of the day. The early sailings and the last of the evening carry restricted flags, so a Sunday here is shorter at both ends than a Tuesday.
Two Dordrecht quays, two Zwijndrecht routes
Hooikade and Merwekade both send boats to the same Veerplein landing, on different distances and different times — 0.2 nautical miles against 0.7. Checking which quay a schedule belongs to is not optional here.
8 August to 4 October 2026
Waterbus fares work across the regional network, the same as the buses and trams ashore. This is public transport that happens to float rather than a ferry in the excursion sense.
