How much does the ferry from Cannes to Sainte-Marguerite Island cost?

The cost of the ferry from Cannes to Sainte-Marguerite Island depends on the shipping line, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we verify the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.
