Antibes Port Vauban Yacht Transfer
Private chauffeur transfer to Port Vauban, Antibes — the largest marina in Europe and home of the Quai des Milliardaires superyacht berths.
Port Vauban in Antibes is the beating heart of Riviera yachting — the largest marina in Europe and, along its Quai des Milliardaires, the mooring of choice for the world's biggest superyachts. Set beside the old town and Fort Carré, it is just a short drive from Nice Airport. Here is what to know about transfers to Port Vauban.
Europe's largest marina
Port Vauban holds more than a thousand berths in the shelter of the old ramparts, from small local boats to giants. Its famous Quai des Milliardaires — the Billionaires' Quay — is reserved for the largest superyachts, drawn by the deep water and the working port town of Antibes around it.
Between the marina, the old town and the Cap d'Antibes just beyond, it is one of the great yachting addresses of the Mediterranean.

- Quai des Milliardaires for the biggest superyachts
- Sheltered beside the old ramparts and Fort Carré

From Nice Airport to the quay
Antibes lies around 20 kilometres west of Nice Airport — roughly 25 minutes by road on a clear run. A private chauffeur meets you in arrivals, handles the luggage and brings you directly to the quay, from around €120 in an E-Class or €150 in a spacious V-Class.
For crew and provisions arriving together, the V-Class carries the load; for owners and guests, an S-Class adds a quieter, more refined ride.

Crew changes and provisioning
A yacht at Port Vauban generates constant movement ashore — crew changes at the airport and station, provisioning runs, guests arriving and departing. A chauffeur on call handles all of it discreetly, on the yacht's schedule rather than a taxi rank's.
It is the same reliable driver each time, familiar with the quays, the access points and the pace of a busy season.
Antibes ashore
Beyond the marina, Antibes rewards time ashore: the ramparts and Picasso Museum of the old town, the beaches and nightlife of Juan-les-Pins, and the pine-clad luxury of Cap d'Antibes. A chauffeur turns any of these into an easy afternoon between berths.
It is a town made for stepping off the yacht and into the Riviera proper.
