Volendam and Marken are in sight of each other, but by road you have to go round the lake. The Volendam Marken Express crosses the Markermeer in half an hour from Volendam harbour (Haven 39) to Marken's, every day, with departures between 11:00 and 17:30. The boats have heating, a bar and a toilet, and an upper deck from which you can see the outline of Marken draw near. You can take your bike on board.
The classic plan is to take the bus from Amsterdam to Volendam, cross by boat to Marken and return to Amsterdam by bus from Marken, or the other way round. Buy your ticket online or at the harbour; in summer, at midday, there may be a queue.
