Best time to take the ferry from Cannes to Saint-Tropez

The ferry from Cannes to Saint-Tropez runs all year on most operators, but not equally: summer brings the most sailings and the highest fares, shoulder months the best balance, winter a reduced service. Whatever the month, booking early is the single biggest saving, especially with a car or a cabin.

Ferry or flight from Cannes to Saint-Tropez?

Ferry versus plane between Cannes and Saint-Tropez comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.

Return ferry from Saint-Tropez to Cannes

The Saint-Tropez to Cannes ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Haqqi Tours can provide the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.

How much does the ferry from Cannes to Saint-Tropez cost?

Ferry prices from Cannes to Saint-Tropez move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we look up the fare for the day you want to sail and send it through WhatsApp before you decide.

Ask us for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Cannes to Saint-Tropez ferry.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Cannes to Saint-Tropez: how to pay less

A cheap Cannes to Saint-Tropez ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:

• Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and frequently more scenic
• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date

When you send the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Cannes to Saint-Tropez ferry first, then the alternatives.

Timetable and season of the Cannes to Saint-Tropez ferry

Sailing times on the Cannes to Saint-Tropez route depend on the shipping line and the month - as a rule 1-2 sailings a day in season. Morning departures are typically the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Cannes old port, Quai Laubeuf.

If a sailing is cancelled by the operator for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.

Departure: Cannes old port, Quai Laubeuf

Your crossing starts at Cannes old port, Quai Laubeuf. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. Cannes station is in the centre, with regional trains to Nice in about 30 minutes and high-speed trains to Paris in about 5 h 15, and boats leave the Old Port for the Lérins Islands. Express buses link Nice Airport with Cannes, but a private car is the easiest choice with luggage, at night, or for trips to Monaco, Saint-Tropez and the hill villages.

• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Cannes to the port on request
• Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together

Arrival: Saint-Tropez old port

Arrival is at Saint-Tropez old port. Saint-Tropez is a former fishing village on the Var coast, with a harbour of colourful houses, a hilltop citadel and the long sandy beach of Pampelonne nearby. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the pier with your name, or tell you the best way to your accommodation by bus or taxi. If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.

Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.

On board the Cannes to Saint-Tropez ferry: seats, cabins and luggage

The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.

• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
• Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
• Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths
• Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries
