Trans Côte d'Azur

A Cannes and Nice shipping company that organises boat trips along the coast, cruises to Monaco and Saint-Tropez and the crossing to Sainte-Marguerite island.

Trans Côte d'Azur is a passenger boat company based in the port of Cannes, on the quai Saint-Pierre, with a second boarding point in the port of Nice, on the quai Lunel. From Cannes it runs all year the crossing to Sainte-Marguerite island, in the Lérins islands, and in season organises cruises along the Corniche d'Or, to Monaco and Saint-Tropez, as well as outings to watch the fireworks in the bay of Cannes. It also has two catamarans for day trips from Cannes.

What it does from Nice

From the port of Nice, between March and October, there is a commentated one-hour trip along the coast between Cap de Nice and the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, a trip of about two hours towards Monaco and day trips to Saint-Tropez, to Cannes and to Sainte-Marguerite island. The commentary on board is in French and English.

How to book

You book on the company's website or by phone; for sailings from Nice a reservation is compulsory.
