About
About Brest
Brest sends you out in the morning and takes you back at night, with nothing in between. Every departure from the city falls between 07.45 and 09.00; every arrival back is between 17.00 and 20.30. There is no midday sailing in either direction.
Most connections, fewest boats
Ten routes touch Brest — more than any other port here — but only 26 departures serve them. Camaret gets three (25–30 minutes), Ouessant three (130–170), Le Conquet two, Molène two, and Sein exactly one, at 09.00 on summer Sundays.
Worth knowing before you drive
Ouessant is 170 minutes from Brest on Fromveur 2, because the 08.10 and 08.20 sailings call at Molène first. From Le Conquet the same island is 60 to 85 minutes. If the island is the destination and not the voyage, the road west is faster than the water. The Brest legs are listed to 27–30 December.
