Nice Airport to Your Yacht Transfer
Private transfer from Nice Airport to your yacht at any Riviera marina — Antibes, Monaco, Cannes or Saint-Tropez — with meet and greet.
Nice Côte d'Azur is the gateway to the world's densest concentration of superyachts. Its marinas — Antibes, Cannes, Monaco and, further west, Saint-Tropez — lie within a short drive of the terminals, and the smoothest way from the aircraft door to your gangway is a private chauffeur who meets you, handles the luggage and knows every quay. Here is how an airport-to-yacht transfer works.
The Riviera's yachting gateway
Nice Airport sits in the middle of the coast, so most marinas are close. Port Vauban in Antibes is around 25 minutes away, the Vieux Port of Cannes and Port Hercule in Monaco about 30, and even the old port of Saint-Tropez is reachable by road in roughly an hour and a half.
That central position is why owners, guests and crew fly into Nice: from touchdown, the yacht is rarely more than a comfortable drive away.
- Antibes Port Vauban — about 25 minutes
- Cannes and Monaco — about 30 minutes
- Saint-Tropez — roughly 1h30 by road
- All marinas within easy reach of the terminals
Meet, greet and luggage
A yacht arrival usually means more luggage than a normal trip — cases, provisions, sometimes equipment for the crew. Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, takes the bags and brings the car to you, so nothing is dragged across the terminal.
A spacious Mercedes V-Class is the natural choice when guests, crew and baggage arrive together, while an E-Class or S-Class suits a couple travelling light.
- Name-board welcome in the arrivals hall
- Help with cases and provisions
- V-Class for groups, crew and heavy luggage
- E-Class or S-Class for lighter arrivals
Reaching each marina
Prices follow the distance from the airport. A transfer to Port Vauban in Antibes starts from around €120 in an E-Class or €150 in a V-Class; Monaco's Port Hercule and Cannes from around €150 to €180; and Saint-Tropez, the longest run, from around €400.
Whichever marina your yacht is berthed at, the chauffeur delivers you to the quay itself, coordinating with the crew on timing and access where needed.
- Antibes Port Vauban — from €120
- Cannes and Monaco — from €150
- Saint-Tropez — from €400
- Delivered to the quay, not a distant car park
Why a chauffeur for a yacht arrival
Marinas are busy, parking is tight and the quays are often pedestrian. A private chauffeur removes the friction: no rental desk, no navigation, no hunting for a space with a trolley of luggage. You step off the plane and, before long, step aboard.
It is also the discreet, reliable option owners and charter guests expect — the same driver available for provisioning runs, crew changes and days ashore throughout the stay.
