About the operator

Fast inter-island travel across the Aegean

SEAJETS specialises in high-speed ferry travel across Greece and describes its current operation as the largest high-speed network in the Aegean. Its 2026 programme spans Athens, Crete, the Cyclades and additional northern and eastern Aegean ports.

The network is particularly useful for island hopping. A single journey can connect major islands such as Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and Santorini, while routes from Piraeus and Rafina make it possible to start an island itinerary directly from the Athens region.

SEAJETS also carries vehicles on suitable passenger-vehicle ships. Because vessel type changes the seating, vehicle capacity and onboard facilities, always check the exact ship assigned to the chosen departure rather than assuming every service offers the same product.

Check Seajets Availability

FerryEU planning note: Greek island timetables are seasonal. Build the whole itinerary before booking accommodation that depends on a same-day connection.

Athens, Cyclades and Crete

Seajets routes

SEAJETS has far more routes than can fit on one page. These three examples show the main journey types: Athens to an island, Crete to the Cyclades and island-to-island travel.

About 2h 40m Athens to Cyclades

Illustrative network

A dense Aegean web rather than a simple point-to-point network

The FerryEU route map shows the broad pattern of SEAJETS links across Athens, Crete and the island groups. The live 2026 schedule is much more detailed, with route combinations changing by season and day of week.

Use the map to understand geography, then use the live search to build the actual itinerary. A connection that works in July may not operate in the same pattern in May or October.

After choosing the most practical route, compare the live Seajets sailing for departure time, calling pattern, passenger requirements and the facilities or accommodation shown for that service. The complete itinerary and arrival location can matter more than a small difference in the headline fare.

SEAJETS publishes route groups from Athens, Crete, Thessaloniki, Volos and Mantoudi as well as extensive Cyclades itineraries. Extra 2026 itineraries can also be added during the season.

Ports and places

Three gateways to a Greek island itinerary

Piraeus is the main Athens gateway, while Mykonos and Santorini sit at the heart of the Cyclades network and connect easily with other islands. Where a dedicated destination photograph is not available in the FerryEU library, supporting imagery is clearly illustrative.

Piraeus

Greece's largest port is the starting point for many SEAJETS Cyclades services. It has direct metro and road connections with central Athens and the wider Attica region.

Mykonos

Mykonos connects directly with Athens, Crete and many neighbouring islands. SEAJETS uses the island's new port for its scheduled ferry services.

Santorini

SEAJETS services use Athinios Port, below the caldera. Santorini connects with Piraeus, Rafina, Crete and a long list of neighbouring Cyclades islands.

Plan a Santorini ferry trip
Port-transfer tip

Greek island ports can be busy and some, especially Santorini's Athinios Port, require a road transfer to the main resort areas. Leave enough time for buses, taxis or hire-car collection after arrival.

High-speed seating rather than overnight cabins

Passenger seating and accommodation

Most SEAJETS journeys are high-speed daytime crossings, so seat class matters more than a cabin. Conventional vessels use a different accommodation mix and can offer deck passage and cabins.

Modern passenger ferry lounge
High-speed vessels use airline-style and lounge seating for fast island journeys.
Premium ferry cabin
Selected conventional vessels can add private cabins for longer journeys.

Economy seating

Economy is the standard high-speed ticket category and is the natural choice for most short and medium-length island journeys.

Best considered for Value-focused island hopping

Silver seating

Silver is offered on relevant high-speed vessels as an upgraded seating category with a more premium passenger environment.

Best considered for Passengers wanting an upgrade without the top fare

Club Class

Club seating is available on selected ships and provides another premium tier above standard accommodation.

Best considered for Longer high-speed crossings and quieter travel

Platinum seating

Platinum is the highest seating category on applicable high-speed ferries and is excluded from some standard discount products.

Best considered for Passengers prioritising maximum onboard comfort

Conventional-ferry deck or cabins

SEAJETS also operates conventional passenger-vehicle ferries where accommodation can include deck passage and private cabins, depending on the ship.

Best considered for Routes operated by conventional vessels

Accessible seating and spaces

Accessibility features differ by vessel. Declare assistance needs when booking and check the assigned ship if lift or step-free access is essential.

Best considered for Passengers requiring specific access arrangements
Seat-choice tip

On a two- or three-hour high-speed crossing, the seating category can matter more than the headline journey time. Compare Economy and premium options before checkout, especially in peak summer.

Vehicle space varies by vessel

Vehicles, pets and accessibility

SEAJETS can carry cars and motorcycles on suitable passenger-vehicle services, while pet and accessibility arrangements are governed by the assigned vessel and the operator's current travel terms.

Vehicle boarding a passenger ferry
Vehicle capacity differs between high-speed and conventional SEAJETS vessels.
Electric cars boarding a ferry
Alternative-fuel vehicles are subject to current Greek ferry safety limits.
Passengers travelling with dogs on a ferry
Pets travel free when declared correctly and carried under the operator's onboard rules.

Cars and motorcycles

Add the vehicle while booking and check that the selected sailing actually carries vehicles. SEAJETS requires vehicles at the loading area 60 minutes before departure.

  • Vehicle space is ship-specific
  • Drivers are responsible for loading and unloading
  • Follow Port Authority loading instructions

Electric, hybrid, LPG and CNG vehicles

Current Greek ferry safety rules apply to alternative-fuel vehicles. SEAJETS requires these vehicles to be declared when booking or ticketing.

  • Battery-electric and plug-in hybrid charge must not exceed 40%
  • LPG/CNG fuel tanks must not exceed 50%
  • Vehicles with fuel-system or battery defects cannot board

Travelling with pets

Pets travel free but must be declared in advance. Up to five properly documented pets can travel with one passenger under the current rules.

  • Carry an updated health passport
  • Small pets use carriers; larger pets use designated cages or areas
  • Pet cabins are available on conventional ships that provide them

Reduced mobility and assistance

Passengers should declare special care or assistance needs during booking. Vessel accessibility differs, so confirm lift and step-free facilities when they are essential.

  • Add assistance needs before travel
  • Check the exact vessel
  • Allow additional time in busy island ports
High-speed schedules reward early arrival

Check-in, luggage and boarding

Busy Greek island ports can become congested close to departure. SEAJETS' formal minimum is 30 minutes for passengers and 60 minutes for vehicles, but FerryEU recommends adding extra time in peak summer.

Passenger ferry check-in facilities
Keep the e-ticket, identity document and correct port information ready before boarding.
Passengers and vehicles preparing to board a ferry
Vehicle passengers need twice the formal arrival time of ordinary foot passengers.

Recommended travel sequence

  1. Before travel
    Check the exact port and ship

    Piraeus, Rafina and island ports can have multiple ferry berths. Confirm the terminal or gate and the vessel on the current ticket.

  2. 60 minutes before
    Vehicle loading requirement

    SEAJETS requires vehicles to be presented at the loading area at least one hour before departure.

  3. 30 minutes before
    Minimum passenger arrival

    Ordinary passengers must be at the ship's embarkation area at least 30 minutes before departure.

  4. At boarding
    Keep valid travel documents ready

    All passengers must hold the documents required for the journey and any discount entitlement used to issue the ticket.

  5. During the crossing
    Keep valuables with you

    SEAJETS allows hand luggage up to 50 kg or 1 cubic metre, but valuables should not be left unattended in public areas or vehicles.

Speed changes what is possible

When Seajets can be a practical choice

SEAJETS is strongest when a Greek itinerary involves several islands. Fast crossings can turn Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Santorini, Milos and other Cyclades destinations into one continuous trip without returning to Athens between islands.

The advantage is not only speed. The dense network can reduce flights and long transfers, while vehicle-capable sailings let travellers take a car or motorcycle onto selected islands. The trade-off is that schedules are highly seasonal and different ships offer different seating and vehicle capacity.

Build the trip in sequence: confirm each ferry, then book hotels and transfers around those confirmed times. When connections are critical, avoid very tight same-day plans because weather and operational changes can affect high-speed services.
