Brielle ferry - anyone used it?

Post by foxyrider »

As part of my summer trip I intend visiting Brielle a few Km from Europort, Rotterdam. As i'll be then heading to the Hull ferry it looks like I can save a couple of Km by using the ferry but has anyone used it? Apart from confirming it's existence I can't find any info via Google so any info regarding timetable (on a Sunday), prices etc would be appreciated.
Convention? what's that then?

Two ferries thereabouts but at Brielle the ferry was seasonal when I was there last - it only served a campsite on the island (isthmus/peninsula really). The ferry at Rosberg runs year round though.

If googeled in Dutch (keywords "Brielle" and "veer") you get this.
In April and Septembre only on saturday and sunday (10.00 - 18.00).
May till August every day (10.00 - 18.00).

Another ferry accross the Nieuwe Waterweg is this:

On OpenStreetmap.

Timetable for this fastferry is here.

Thanks Peter.

I'll be using the Fast Ferry at the start of the trip and the Maasluis ferry to get to Brielle.
