By boat
By the time you will have reached this part, you are no longer here for serious purposes.
Anyway, now that you have shown interest:

Water taxi
Right in front of “De Leuve” is a water taxi landing stage. The water taxi is a super-fast and, not uncommonly, spectacular means of transportation between thirty places on the Nieuwe Maas river where the water taxi can be boarded.
For full details on this form of transportation over water, refer to www.watertaxirotterdam.nl.

By boat in general
Our office is easily reached by boat. A mooring place can be found in the Veerhaven harbour, from where additional transportation by means of the above-mentioned water taxi is available. The Leuvehaven harbour has been made into a maritime open-air museum and is not open for navigation.
Rotterdam’s harbours are tidal harbours. The water levels need to be taken into consideration. Furthermore, navigation of the Rotterdam harbour area requires some preparation. The Municipal Port Management provide information with regard to the vessel traffic services.
When calling at the Veerhaven harbour, the current needs to be taken into consideration. An ebb or flood stream travelling with a speed of up to 3 km/h (1.5 knots) flows past the Veerhaven harbour entrance. The flood stream is present from approximately 2 hours before high water until approximately 1 hour after high water at Rotterdam. Slack water hardly occurs at the turn of the tide. There can be a noticeable deviant current in the Veerhaven harbour entrance. Larger boats in particular are advised, if necessary, to turn round and approach the harbour against the current.
Please refer to the most recent edition of part two of the Dutch nautical almanac for information on opening times of bridges and locks along the various routes.
The routes described – with the exception of the alternative route from Gouda – can be navigated keeping masts standing.

Route from Amsterdam – Leiden – Den Haag – Delft
The route from Amsterdam leads to Leiden via the Ringvaart (ring canal) of the Haarlemmermeerpolder and via the Kagerplassen and the river Zijl. It then goes to Delft via the Rijn-Schiekanaal and the Vliet along The Hague. From there, sail along the river Schie to the Parksluizen locks in Rotterdam.

After these locks, turn port onto the river Nieuwe Maas. After approximately 1000 metres turn into the Veerhaven harbour on port side.

Route from Dordrecht
The route from Dordrecht leads to the river Noord via the river Oude Maas or the river Merwede. The Sophiapolder near Hendrik Ido Ambacht can be passed on port hand via the Rietbaan as well as on starboard hand along the Noord. Keep to port when the river Lek is joined. The Bakkerskil on starboard side is shallow (D14). When the river Hollandse IJssel is joined, turn port onto the river Nieuwe Maas. After passing the Van Brienenoordbruggen, Willemsbrug and Erasmusbrug bridges turn into the Veerhaven harbour on starboard hand after approximately 400 metres.

Route from Utrecht – Gouda
The route from Utrecht follows the river Hollandse IJssel via Gouda.
When the river Nieuwe Maas is joined, turn to starboard onto this river.
After passing the Van Brienenoordbruggen, Willemsbrug and Erasmusbrug bridges turn into the Veerhaven harbour on starboard hand after approximately 400 metres.
There is an alternative route, a ‘short cut’ from Gouda leading via the Ringvaart (ring canal) of the Zuidplaspolder and the river Rotte. This route offers limited height (H24) and draught (D9).
