About the Molène – Brest crossing
Three evening departures — 17.00, 17.30 and 19.30 — taking 115 to 120 minutes to reach Brest. Nearly two hours from an island that is only 30 to 45 minutes from Le Conquet.
The distance is not the reason
These are the same ships that serve Le Conquet, continuing up the coast to the city afterwards. The extra hour and a half is the mainland leg, not the island one. Anyone heading for Brest by road would be off the boat at Le Conquet well before the ship gets there.
The late one
Enez Eussa 3's 19.30, arriving 21.30, is the last scheduled departure from Molène in any direction. The three sailings are listed to 27 December — the Brest connections close a few days before the island services do.
