About the Brest – Molène crossing
Two sailings, 08.10 and 08.20, taking 120 and 130 minutes. Both are Fromveur 2 working her way out through Le Conquet, and both are the only chance of the day — nothing leaves Brest for the islands after 08.20.
Two hours against forty minutes
From Le Conquet the same island is 30 to 45 minutes away, eight times a day. The Brest crossing exists for people already in the city without a car, not because it is a sensible way to reach Molène.
Coming back
Three evening sailings return, 17.00 to 19.30, at 115 to 120 minutes — slightly quicker inbound than out. Outbound is listed to 30 December, the return to the 27th.
