Arrival in Nice at 7pm

Duration of the cruise: 2h30 each way

Head to Nice Harbor in the morning to board your boat. Then relax and enjoy the views as you cruise 2.5 hours along the spectacular French Riviera. Your ferry will stop at Sainte Marguerite Island and/or Cannes along the way to pick up other passengers (you do not get off the ferry) before arriving at St Tropez.

This Côte d’Azur seaside town became a spectacular resort destination after World War II, with the influx of artists of the French New Wave and Yé-yé cultural movements. Later came the European and American jet set, drawn to St Tropez for its unbeatable setting and glamorous vibe.

Spend the day discovering St Tropez’s many delights on your own. There are sights and activities here for every kind of traveler, whether you’re looking for a windsurfing adventure, some sightseeing or a carefree afternoon lazing on the beach.

Ramble the Old Port filled with marvelous million-dollar yachts before entering the town to shop at chic fashion boutiques and browse the provincial markets, like the daily morning fish market in Place aux Herbes.

Shrug off the hustle of the port in the La Ponche fishing quarter, whose cobbled lanes lead to St Tropez Church (Église de St Tropez). Head to the 17th-century Citadelle de St Tropez for fantastic views over the city.

Art lovers can admire the works of Signac, Denis, Matisse, Picasso and more at the Musée de l’Annonciade, converted from a 16th-century chapel to an eclectic modern art museum. Back near the harbor, enjoy a delicious meal and a glass of local wine at a sidewalk café and soak up some rays on a pristine white-sand beach.

When your day is over, board the boat and cruise 2.5 hours back along the coast to Nice. You’ll arrive at the Nice Harbor in the evening.

Great short trip - Very nice trip. Only one minus: not enough time to explore the town especially considering 5 hours in a boat(in total). Maybe 1-2 extra hours and a departure at 17:30-18:30 gonna be a way better. Rest is great.

Saint tropez trip - Beautiful and relaxing. Totally worth it. Went with my husband and sister in law and we had a blast. The ride is smooth and relaxing. Lots of fresh air. Saint tropes is a calm little village full of tourist.

Avoid mid July - I always love day trips that include sailing. Overall, it was a pleasant trip, my only complaint, is that when we needed to get back on the boat, it was sheer chaos. At the dock, which is small, there were many people waiting for different boats and due to the stifling heat, people were irritable and there was not enough shade and people were desperate to get onboard. I have been to St Tropez many times but this was a reminder not to go in the height of the tourist season,

Missed the boat! - Rather pricey for what is basically just a ferry ride. Missed the ferry back as there were no clear signs or marking for where the boat docks. The customer care number was not of much help. Fortunately, we managed to get a boat to St. Raphael on Les Bateaux Bleus, otherwise we would have been stranded.

More of a ferry booking than a excursion - Be aware that this really is just a 2.5 hour ferry from Nice to St Tropez, 4 hours there to explore then catch the ferry back for another 2.5 hours of travel. The views of the coast are ok but taking a train from Nice to St Tropez would be faster, cheaper and unless the sea is totally calm far more comfortable.

Buy yourself directly at the port - The ferry is good. It takes 2,5 Hours to get to Saint Tropez and it is a bit shaky. The thing is that you can Just buy it youself with the company at the Port, for 20 dolars less. Viator does not do anything. There isn’t any guide or special feature

Disappointed - Disappointed. With the cost we paid for this “ferry ticket and cruise” I was extremely unsatisfied. We were crammed into a ferry with no air conditioning and no animation. It was basically an expensive Uber ride to St Tropez but with no AC. Recommend to take the train which is faster and has air conditioning.
