History edit

Seajets was established in 1989.[1] Today, it operates a fleet of 14 high speed vessels,[2] and 3 conventional Ro-Ro ferries which services routes from the ports of Piraeus and Rafina to several Cycladic islands. It also sails on routes between Crete (Heraklion - Rethymno) and Central Cyclades (i.e., Santorini, Ios, Naxos, Paros and Mykonos) as well as Northern Greece (Thessaloniki, Sporades), Cyclades and Crete. In total, Seajets sails to 17 islands and offers 140 connections among them.[3] Most of these routes are seasonal, operating between April and October every year.

In 2020 the company bought seven cruise ships, two of which were soon resold for demolition.
