Boat rental to Nice Airport
boat rental from Saint-Tropez to Nice Cote d'Azur Airport in 1h15. Bypass 2-3 hours of summer motorway traffic. Dock steps from the terminal with your luggage handled for you.
About this transfer
Nice Cote 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 travelers 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 boat rentals and connects to Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 via a short shuttle ride (5 minutes) or a dedicated pedestrian path.
Our boat rental 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.
