About the H.I. Ambacht, Noordeinde – Alblasserdam, Kade crossing

Under a nautical mile, and it takes seven minutes. That is roughly seven knots including the manoeuvring at both quays, which tells you the crossing is short enough that the docking dominates the timing.

Twenty-eight sailings, six of them before nine

The daily backbone runs 10:12 to 19:42. Ahead of it sit a Saturday-inclusive block from 07:12 and two weekday-only boats at 06:12 and 06:42. A late 19:12 departure covers Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The four-hour Sunday gap

Quarter past six on a Tuesday against ten past ten on a Sunday. Nothing about the vessel or the water changes — only who is expected to be standing on the quay.

Not a ferry, a bus line

Waterbus sells the same ticket as the road network in this corner of Zuid-Holland. Treating it as a scheduled crossing rather than an excursion is closer to how it is actually used.

Until 4 October 2026

The winter edition trims the count, so twenty-eight is the summer figure rather than the standing one.
