About the Zwijndrecht – Sint Anna crossing
Upstream from Zwijndrecht to Sint Anna takes twenty-one minutes and runs thirty-nine times a day, from 05:29 to 23:29 — the latest last boat on the network.
Zone 3 applies: €4 single, €6 return, €3.50 reduced. From Sint Anna the city crossing to Steenplein is a separate €1 hop, or you can stay on the same boat, which usually continues across.
Sint Anna is where the left bank becomes worth visiting — the beach, the Sint-Annabos and the tunnel back under the river to the old town. Bicycles ride free, and the late sailings make it a practical way home from the city in the evening. De Waterbus uses catamarans designated D1 to D6.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Catamaran waterbuses (D1–D6)
