Summer is approaching, and with it the long-awaited return of the maritime shuttle to Marseille! From 25 April to 27 September 2026, board these ferries to enjoy in a unique and refreshing way discovering or rediscovering the Phocaean city… by sea.
The public transport operator, RTM, runs three regular lines departing from the Vieux-Port, L'Estaque, Pointe-Rouge and Les Goudes.
From 25 April to 26 June and from 31 August to 27 September 2026: departures every hour and every day from 7am to 7pm (Pointe-Rouge) and from 8am to 7pm (Vieux-Port).
The RTM network is shut down on 1 May, but the maritime shuttles nevertheless continue to operate that day.
From 27 June to 30 August: extended hours until 10pm, perfect for summer evenings.
Attention, on 14 July and 15 August, due to festivities and the fireworks, the departure is usually moved to the Mucem because the basin of the Vieux-Port is closed to maritime traffic.

From 27 June to 30 August: in service until 10:30pm.
Attention, on 14 July and 15 August, due to festivities and the fireworks, the departure is usually moved to the Mucem because the basin of the Old Port is closed to maritime traffic.
Active connection only from 30 May to 30 August 2026, every day from 8:50am to 8:20pm, with departures every hour.
