About the Brest – Camaret crossing
The quickest crossing Petrel makes: 25 to 30 minutes across the roadstead, three times each morning at 07.45, 08.20 and 09.00. It is also the shortest-lived — the route stops on 6 September.
A summer shuttle
All three departures fall inside seventy-five minutes and there is nothing later in the day. The return runs in the evening only, 18.00 to 18.45. The shape is a day trip, out and back, with the whole middle of the day spent on the far side.
What Petrel does in between
Between the morning run and the evening one, the same ship works Camaret out to Ouessant and, on summer Sundays, to Sein. When this route closes in September, Camaret loses its scheduled service altogether.
