Crossings · CANNES FERRY TRIPS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 cannes ferry trips worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you buy the ticket.
Take a 15-minute Trans Côte d’Azur ferry from Cannes to Sainte-Marguerite Island. Walk pine and eucalyptus trails, visit Fort Royal, watch migratory birds at Batéguier Pond, and find quiet coves. Ferry times are flexible, but exchange your voucher at the ticket desk before boarding.
“Amazing trip to the island just off the coast of Cannes, you can walk, or swim there”
Take a round-trip ferry from Cannes to St Tropez, with about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1.5 hours on the water each way. You’ll have the day to explore independently, from the Old Port and Citadel to La Ponche and the Musée de l’Annonciade. Food, drinks, and a guide are not included.
“Beautiful boat! Amazing scenes at St Tropez! Thousands of all types of private yachts and sailboats!”
Travel independently from Cannes to Sainte-Marguerite Island on a round-trip ferry. The 15-minute crossing offers views of the Lérins archipelago and Golfe de la Napoule, while your island time is free for hiking, swimming, bird-watching, snorkeling, and Fort Royal, where the Man in the Iron Mask was held.
“The ferry was on time and very easy to find from where our cruise ship docked. Before getting on the ferry, the help desk was able to get us a map in English. All of the signage around the old fort explaining the history was in French only. We bought a sandwich lunch on the island. If you are wanting to snorkel, you will have to bring that stuff with you as there is no where to rent the stuff from the island.”
Take a morning Trans Côte d'Azur ferry from Cannes to Monaco, with no guide and no fixed sightseeing route once you arrive. You get a same-day return ticket, sea views, and several hours to choose between the Prince's Palace, Casino, Oceanographic Museum, lunch, or shopping.
“If you had permission to go to Vintimille that would be good”
By ticket type, by boat, or by the island at the other end.
