Departure from Plouhinec (Finistère)
Audierne has a long tradition as a fishing port: first sardines, then lobsters caught in pots. After a decline in this type of fishing, in the summer months, the boats are rigged for albacore tuna fishing. In 1966, the Poulgoazec fish market was created on the other bank of the Goyen. After 1986, trawlers deserted the port of Audierne for that of Douarnenez, which was more accessible and better equipped.Currently, the main activity is line fishing and net fishing, which coexist with the increasing number of pleasure boats. This route passes through the two ports on either side of the Goyen estuary.
