About us

    The Riviera seen from the sea

    Your trusted partner for boat transfers on the French Riviera. We connect travellers with the best local operators for a fast, scenic, and stress-free experience.

    Our story

    Water Taxi Boat was born from a simple observation: the roads along the French Riviera are gridlocked in summer. Between Saint-Tropez and Cannes, a 30-minute boat ride can take over 2 hours by car.

    We built a curated network of licensed captains and certified operators to offer a fast, comfortable, and scenic maritime alternative. Every transfer is a mini-cruise along the most beautiful coastline in France.

    Based in Saint-Tropez, our platform connects you with trusted partner operators serving the entire coast from Fréjus to Monaco, with regular transfers and private charters tailored to every need.

    Why choose a boat taxi?

    The French Riviera offers many transport options. Here is why a boat taxi is the best choice.

    Skip the traffic

    Coastal roads in summer can take 3 times longer. Saint-Tropez to Port Grimaud: 2 hours by car, 20 minutes by boat.

    Unbeatable views

    Experience the coastline from the sea. Every transfer becomes a mini-cruise with breathtaking coastal panoramas.

    Direct port to port

    No parking, no walking from a distant car park. We drop you off exactly where you want to be.

    Professional service

    Licensed captains with years of local experience. Safety, comfort, and reliability guaranteed.

    Flexible schedules

    Unlike fixed-timetable ferries, we adapt to your schedule. Last-minute change? No problem.

    Continuous weather monitoring

    We track conditions non-stop. If it is not safe, we do not sail — and we offer alternatives or a full refund.
