Aegean Flying Dolphins
About
Aegean Flying Dolphins is a Greek ferry company, established in 2006, that provides high-speed ferry services in the Aegean Sea. The company focuses on comfortable, safe, and quick passenger movement, often offering competitive fares. Their fleet consists of modern hydrofoils and catamarans, including vessels like F/D Athina, F/D Venus I, and F/D Erato. Aegean Flying Dolphins primarily operates routes connecting the mainland ports of Piraeus and Volos to the Saronic Islands (such as Aegina and Agistri) and the Sporades Islands (including Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos). While known for their speed and efficiency, the smaller size of their vessels means they typically do not offer extensive onboard amenities like restaurants or vehicle transport for unaccompanied vehicles. The company is also noted for its community involvement, including offering zero-fare transportation for certain medical transfers.
