The FINIST'MER shipping company invites you to discover, among the 15 islands of the Ponant, the islands at the end of the world:
The islands of Ouessant, Molène, Sein:
Perhaps you have chosen a campsite selected by the Yesicamp website for your holidays, and you have set your sights on Brittany, which you love for its history, its culture, the richness of its heritage, its folklore, its legends, its gastronomy, its landscapes, its coasts, but also and especially for the sea!
In business since 1991, for 25 years it has been offering connections from the mainland to the most remarkable islands to satisfy you.
Our two boats, the speedboats "Rose Here" (196 passengers) and " Le Corsaire" (79 passengers), are fast and comfortable, ensuring smooth and peaceful crossings. And for the more adventurous, aboard our semi-rigid inflatable boat "Archipel " (12 people), piloted by an experienced skipper who is a passionate and respectful guide to marine mammals and birds, you can navigate safely on the legendary Iroise and Celtic Seas.
After booking online or at our ticket offices, and, with our free "weather" guarantee of reimbursement in the event of bad weather, you will embark in the ports of Lanildut, Le Conquet, Camaret, Audierne to the islands of Ouessant, Molène, Breast.
These three islands have been part of the Iroise Sea Biosphere Reserve, classified by UNESCO, since 1988.
The island of Ouessant, the last landmass on the European continent, stands guard and protects sailors with its five lighthouses on a busy shipping lane. Among them, the 150-year-old Creac'h lighthouse is the most powerful in the world, illuminating the sea for 60 km. Another unique feature of this island, amidst the moorland and its sheep, is the restoration and reconstruction of small mills (the smallest in Europe) which, at the beginning of the 20th century, provided each family with its own flour for bread.
The Molène Archipelago, a "National Nature Reserve of the Iroise Sea," boasts strong currents and crystal-clear waters, a rich and diverse habitat both on land and at sea, with exceptional flora and fauna. Seaweed beds and meadows populate the waters, and colonies of rare birds, such as terns, lesser black-backed gulls, and many others, come to breed. Protected grey seals, resident bottlenose dolphins, rays, and nine species of sharks thrive in its clear, turbulent waters!
Here, the local economy turned towards the sea, is supported by two human activities which cohabit with respect, and good intelligence: fishing in all its forms and leisure related to tourism.
The island of Sein. Small but valiant. Awarded the Resistance Cross, the Liberation Cross, and the War Cross for the heroic action of 130 people from Sein out of 400 Frenchmen who joined General de Gaulle in Great Britain in 1940.
From a distance, the island barely emerges from the water, with an average altitude of just 1,5m, 1,8km long, 30m to 800m wide, and its 60 hectares.
Surrounded by reefs, sailors spot it thanks to turrets and lighthouses, the largest of which, "Le Goulenez" (1951) has a light range of 51 km, which has a power plant and a seawater desalination center.
Its small port serves as a refuge for sailors, recreational sailors or not, and, in case of heavy weather, for sport fishermen of line bass, true adventurers of the sea.
Have you made your choice? Then set sail, head for your island and have a fair wind to fill up on emotions!
It's up to you, then, to enjoy the pleasure of being intoxicated by the large bowls of salty air, the fresh sea spray, to be amazed by the changing colours of the sea and the sky, by the magnificent island landscapes with jagged rocks and by the preserved fauna because you are in the Iroise marine park! Here, seals, dolphins and many rare birds including migratory ones live in peace. This is a paradise for biodiversity!
Our ambition is to satisfy you. For a memorable getaway, you will have the choice between short or long excursions and trips, always invigorating, and always exceptional because our primary objective is to make you experience unforgettable moments.
Something for all tastes and budgets. Crossings will last from 45 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes, according to your preference, and you can even choose the "Day trips, land and sea" option.
Schedules and fares are available on our website, which is full of great photos, and of course, everything you need to know before your crossing!
So… We are waiting for you…!
Good luck ! Goodbye !
Avel vat! Kenavo!
