Timetable and boarding locations

The ferry service Enkhuizen-Stavoren has been operating since 1886, that's a long time!
There used to be 3 ferries from Enkhuizen to Stavoren. Passengers and entire train wagons then went along, this was the fastest connection between Amsterdam and Leeuwarden. The route across the Zuiderzee was the shortest. Later it became a seasonal ferry service that transfers thousands of people every year to enjoy the beautiful places and city's around the IJsselmeer.
