About this transfer
Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) is the main international gateway to the French Riviera. It serves over 14 million passengers per year and connects to 120+ destinations worldwide. For travellers staying in Saint-Tropez, it is the closest major airport — but reaching it by road can be a challenge.
What many visitors don't know is that Nice Airport has its own maritime dock, located on the western edge of the airport grounds, directly on the Baie des Anges. This dock is purpose-built for sea transfers and connects to Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 via a short shuttle ride (5 minutes) or a dedicated pedestrian path.
Our boat taxi departs from the Vieux Port in Saint-Tropez, cruises along the stunning Riviera coastline past the Esterel massif, the Bay of Cannes, and the Cap d'Antibes, before arriving at the airport dock. The entire journey takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes in normal sea conditions.
Upon arrival at the airport dock, a clearly signposted walkway leads you directly to the terminal buildings. Your luggage is handled by our crew throughout — from boarding at Saint-Tropez to the airport dock. You simply walk to check-in, relaxed and on time.

Why choose a sea transfer to Nice Airport
1h15 every time
By boat, your journey is a predictable 1h15 — no traffic, no delays, no surprises. The A8 motorway, by contrast, takes 2 to 3 hours in summer traffic and can be even longer on weekends.
Scenic coastal route
Cruise along the most beautiful stretch of the Riviera — the red cliffs of the Esterel, the Bay of Cannes, and Cap d'Antibes — instead of staring at brake lights on 150 km of congested motorway through Fréjus, Cannes, and Antibes.
Luggage handled door-to-dock
Your suitcases are taken care of from boarding at Saint-Tropez right through to the airport dock. No lifting, no logistics, no stress with luggage, children, or after a long vacation.
Arrive calm and on schedule
Step off the boat refreshed and right on time for check-in. Unpredictable road journeys are risky when catching a flight — a sea transfer removes that risk entirely.
