About
About Ouessant
Eight routes and 48 scheduled departures make Ouessant the busiest island in this network — more traffic than any of the three mainland harbours that serve it. Three of Penn-ar-Bed's four ships call here: Fromveur 2, Enez Eussa 3 and Petrel.
Where the boats go
Le Conquet takes the bulk of it, eleven departures between 08.30 and 19.00, an hour to an hour and a quarter each. Molène is next with eight, and the quickest of those is booked at just 15 minutes — the shortest crossing on the whole network. Brest has three sailings, 95 to 145 minutes depending on which calls the ship makes on the way. Camaret has two, and only until 10 September.
Reading the day
The first boat off the island leaves at 08.30 and the last at 19.00, so a day trip from the mainland works in either direction. What does not work is arriving late: after 19.00 there is nothing, and the crossing back to Brest takes over an hour and a half even when it is running.
