People with reduced mobility are asked to contact Les Vedettes de l’Odet by telephone on 00332 98 57 00 58 to find out about cruise options. The boats are not accessible to electric wheelchairs.

Dogs may travel on board the boats, but must be kept on a leash and have no place reserved on the seats. On the Glénan Islands, dogs are allowed on the footpath on a leash, but are not allowed on the beaches. In accordance with the prefectoral decree of January 19, 2018.
Each passenger is allowed two pieces of hand baggage. They are kept by the passenger throughout the crossing. Boxes, trunks, parcels, cartons and objects are not considered as baggage. These goods are subject to a tax of €10 per bag, and to specific transport conditions.

We advise you to travel to the Glenan Islands with sun protection (hat, sunglasses, cream, parasol…) and to pack a picnic lunch for day cruises.
If you’d like to have lunch in one of the two restaurants on Saint Nicolas Island, remember to reserve your table.
For families with young children, we recommend a half-day visit to the Glenan Islands. You can bring your stroller with you, as the decking is suitable, but we will ask you to fold your stroller on board.
