How to take the boat to Yeu Island

With only 340 passengers on board, the two high-speed vessels, the “Pont d’Yeu” or “le chateau” ensure you a great comfort.

The duration of the trip is variable depending on the tides. Your campsite Domaine du Jardin du Marais is a partner of Yeu Continent. We can advise you and make the reservation of your crossing.
