Compagnie Océane (BreizhGo)

The giant of the Morbihan islands

Compagnie Océane, integrated into the Brittany Region's BreizhGo network, is the leading maritime company for the Morbihan islands. Carrying 1.4 million passengers each year, it provides a vital and continuous service to Belle-Île-en-Mer, Île de Groix, Houat and Hoëdic. It is the largest island ferry operator on the French Atlantic coast.

A modern and powerful fleet

The Compagnie Océane fleet comprises six major vessels, including the Bangor and Vindilis (450 passengers each) on the Belle-Île route, and the Île de Groix (400 passengers) on the Groix route. The Kerdonis and Melvan handle rotations to Houat and Hoëdic. These car ferries allow vehicle boarding on the Belle-Île and Groix routes, facilitating island supply and extended stays.

Routes from Quiberon and Lorient

Compagnie Océane operates mainly from two ports: Quiberon (Port-Maria ferry terminal) for Belle-Île (45 minutes), Houat (40 minutes) and Hoëdic (1h15); and Lorient (ferry terminal) for Île de Groix (45 minutes). In peak season, departure frequency is considerably increased, with up to 10 daily rotations to Belle-Île.

Booking and practical advice

Booking is essential in summer, especially for vehicles as the number of spaces is limited. Tickets are available on the BreizhGo website, by phone and at ticket offices. Fares, subsidised by the Brittany Region, remain affordable. Discounts are available for children, large families and KorriGo card holders. For Belle-Île, booking your vehicle several weeks ahead in July-August is recommended.
