From the port of Nice, quai Lunel, Trans Côte d’Azur offers sea excursions to several Riviera destinations. In 2026, one of its major trips connects Nice with Saint-Tropez for a full day, including approximately five hours ashore before returning by sea.
How does the day trip to Saint-Tropez work?
According to the 2026 timetable, departure from Nice is scheduled for 09:00, arriving in Saint-Tropez around 11:30, before leaving the village at around 16:30 for arrival in Nice at approximately 19:00. Frequency varies considerably by month, from May to October.
Why do you need to book?
The company states that booking is essential for its cruises departing from Nice. Tickets are date-specific and the return journey takes place on the same day. Trans Côte d’Azur also recommends arriving at least 15 minutes before boarding.
Where do you catch the boat?
Ticket sales and boarding are at quai Lunel, port of Nice, opposite Affaires maritimes. This is also the departure point for the other excursions offered from Nice, according to the company's timetable.
What to know before visiting
Weather or technical problems may lead to timetable changes or cancellations. If conditions worsen during the day, the company may arrange all or part of the return journey by road.
The added attraction is turning the journey to Saint-Tropez into a sea excursion in its own right: avoiding the road journey in both directions while enjoying several hours of free time there.
