About the Ouessant – Camaret crossing
Two evening departures, 17.30 and 18.00, taking 65 and 80 minutes. Like the outbound leg, they run Monday to Saturday and skip Sunday.
A fixed day, not a flexible one
With three sailings out in the morning and two back in the evening, this pairing is a day trip with a defined shape rather than a route you can dip in and out of. Miss the 18.00 and the alternatives are Le Conquet, an hour away by sea and then a drive around the coast.
Season ends 10 September
Both directions are listed to 10 September. Petrel works every sailing. On Sundays, when this route does not run, the same ship is on the Brest–Camaret–Sein rotation instead.
