Private water taxi in Toulon

Embarquez au cœur de la « plus belle rade d'Europe », du quai Cronstadt aux îles d'Or
Nos opérateurs partenaires naviguent quotidiennement entre la rade de Toulon, la presqu'île de Giens et les calanques varoises. Ils connaissent les pontons visiteurs de la Vieille Darse et de la Darse Nord, les règles de la base navale (zones réglementées, vitesse limitée en petite rade), le passage du cap Sicié par mistral, et coordonnent l'embarquement avec les hôtels du port et du Mourillon. Sortir de la rade au milieu des bateaux-bus du réseau Mistral, des ferries pour la Corse et des bâtiments gris de la Marine nationale demande une vraie habitude locale : c'est leur terrain de jeu de tous les jours.
The A50 stops where the sea begins
By road, reaching Bandol, La Ciotat or Cassis from Toulon means the A50 motorway and its summer bottlenecks around Ollioules and the Cap Sicié hinterland. By sea you clear the harbour entrance and run straight along the coast — no toll, no roundabouts, and a view of the cliffs of Cap Sicié that drivers never get.
The whole îles d'Or archipelago, not just Porquerolles
Public access to Porquerolles funnels everyone to the shuttle pier at La Tour Fondue on the Giens peninsula — parking, queueing, fixed timetables. A private water taxi leaves from central Toulon when you decide and drops you at the island harbour. The same run reaches deeper into the îles d'Or — Port-Cros and its marine reserve, or the wilder Île du Levant — whenever you want more than Porquerolles.
A departure point that is a sight in itself
Few transfers begin inside France's premier naval harbour. Leaving the Vieille Darse, you pass the grey silhouettes of the national fleet, the Saint-Mandrier peninsula and the forts that guard the channel — a send-off no taxi rank on a motorway slip road will ever match.
