French Riviera
Taking a ferry from Saint Raphael to Saint Tropez is a great way to get around when you are visiting the French Riviera. Because there is no direct rail service between the two cities, ferries are a popular way to travel on this route.
A company called Les Bateaux Saint Raphael runs ferries to Saint Tropez throughout the spring, summer, and autumn each year. Services begin operating in April and end in early November. If you need to travel outside of these times, you can take a bus or taxi, or rent a car and drive.
The ferry from Saint Raphael to Saint Tropez departs from the Gare Maritime at the Vieux Port in Saint Raphael and arrives at the Nouveau Port in Saint Tropez.

Schedules change seasonally, so be sure to consult updated timetables before you travel.
The journey time on this route is approximately one hour, depending on weather and sea conditions. Along the way, passengers can enjoy great views of the coast.
