Premium group transport by water
FOR CRUISES AND GROUPS
RiverTender transports groups of up to 250 passengers quickly, comfortably and directly over water to their destination. An ideal alternative to bus shuttles in the Rotterdam–Dordrecht–Kinderdijk region: less pressure on city centres, a richer experience for your guests, and far simpler logistics.
Who we work for
We work exclusively for professional group providers (B2B): river and ocean cruise operators, Destination Management Companies, tour operators and corporate group organisers. We are a dedicated group transport solution from A to B. We also provide group transfers for galas, events and concerts. Light catering options are available. We do not sell individual tickets and are not public transport or a party boat.
Fast transport for groups up to 250 passengers
Why water works
Fewer buses, less congestion
One RiverTender vessel replaces multiple coaches, easing pressure on sensitive locations and historic city centres.
Faster and more reliable
High cruising speeds (up to approx. 40 km/h where permitted) and direct water routes reduce waiting times and keep excursions on schedule. On the water, there are no traffic jams.
Added experiential value
The vessel itself becomes part of the experience: spacious seating, large panoramic windows, a bar, multiple charging points for digital devices, modern audiovisual systems and uninterrupted views of the river landscape.
Dedicated docking facilities close to ship and destination
RiverTender operates its own docking facilities within walking distance of both final destinations and river and ocean cruise ships. This means short walking routes, no unnecessary transfers and smooth passenger flows on and off the vessel. Exact docking locations and time slots are aligned in advance with your planning team and guides, ensuring predictable, calm boarding and disembarkation — and keeping your excursion firmly on schedule.
Where we operate
We currently focus on the Rotterdam–Dordrecht–Kinderdijk region and its immediate surroundings. Typical operations include transfers between river or ocean cruise ships and Kinderdijk, targeted harbour tours (for example a compact circuit of the Waalhaven), or short shuttle services to attractions in the region. Exact boarding locations and sailing times are agreed upon after enquiry and aligned with your planning.

We work with tailor-made quotations. Send us your preferred sailing date and passenger numbers, and we will plan with you promptly.
