Relaxing ferry ride that provides a scenic perspective of the French Riviera coast. Keep in mind that you will have to walk a bit to get to/from the dock in Monaco. Best part was the short guided tour of the coast on the return trip. Definitely a family memory on our Europe trip.
Travel to the launch location is not convenient to Nice hotels. Monaco port is difficult to travel to. Should notify people about options. Uber wasn’t available.
I was seconded from 9:00 to 9:30, so I went there at 9:00, but it was a pretty long line and I thought it would be good to go a little earlier and sit in a seat with the shore view. The weather was nice and the view of the coastline was amazing. On the way back, it was 20 minutes by train, so I thought it would be nice to have a one-way tour.
Fun trip on the water between Nice and Monaco (45min to Monaco, 60min return). The Charlotte was a very nice ship. Crew were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The return trip included a closer ride along the coast with lots of interesting commentary of the area. Note: Ferry docks at Port de Fontvieille (not Port Hercule). Bus stop at Fontvieille can quickly take you anywhere in Monaco. Recommend the Ship & Castle English pub at the end of the day. You can enjoy a beverage near the water and will see the Charlotte return to port.
Beautiful views and great staff. They went out of their way to show us the shoreline with amazing views.
That you will explore Monaco by foot for hours, it was a beautiful experience but traveling alone and not speaking the language I got very lost for hours, but that gave me the opportunity to see things otherwise I would have missed…. The Palace is something everyone should experience… such beautiful art and so much more… I would do it again if I ever had the opportunity… the tour guide on the boat was exceptional, he explained everything in English so masterfully, loved his accent and the way he presented…..
Captain was great, on the way back from Monaco he took us by some pretty cool sites and provided a lot of useful information n
Very friendly staff, excellent explanation, great scenery. Everything from buying voucher online to get tickets worked quite well.
Excellent experience, friendly crew. About 40 minutes on the way there and a little longer on the way back as they take you on a mini coastal tour with commentary. Seating up top but seating also inside with big windows and shade (which we preferred). Tip - the collection point for the tickets wasnt the most obvious to find, it is a little blue kiosk right opposite a restaurant called Le Raja. Be early
Great experience - quick and safe boat ride to Monaco in a new and very clean speed ferry (30 mins ride). Friendly and nice boat staff.
