About the Camaret – Brest crossing
Three evening departures — 18.00, 18.35 and 18.45 — taking 30 to 45 minutes back across to Brest. The last of the three is the slowest, arriving 19.30.
The end of Petrel's day
These sailings close a rotation that began at 07.45 with the outbound run from Brest and spent the day working Camaret to Ouessant. There is no morning departure in this direction and no service at all after 18.45.
Gone on 6 September
The route is listed to 6 September and does not reappear in the winter timetable. From that date Camaret has no scheduled connection to Brest by sea; the Ouessant sailings survive four days longer, to the 10th, and then Camaret is off the network entirely.
