The British trawler's owners said they were 'delighted' as the crew left the French port in Le Havre.
Menna Rawlings, the UK's ambassador to France, welcomed the news, tweeting: "Glad to hear the Cornelis is free to leave Le Havre and that the Brits on board are on their way home tonight."
The dispute over post-Brexit fishing licences flared up last month, after the UK and Jersey denied fishing permits to several French boats. France then threatened a series of measures against the UK unless more licences were granted by 2 November. But French President Emmanuel Macron suspended the threats at the 11th hour ahead of more talks between UK and French ministers on Thursday.
Earlier, the trawler's skipper Jondy Ward said they had been "caught in the middle" of the political row.
