Hellenic Seaways covers destinations to the Cyclades, Sporades and Saronikos Islands with their Flyingcat fleet which consists of five high speed catamarans, all of which offer a comfortable and luxurious crossing. Flyingcat 1 built in Norway in 1991 (the oldest of the fleet) and carries 352 passengers. Flyingcat 3 built in England in 1998 has a passenger capacity of 360, Flyingcat 4 the newest, largest and fastest ferry in the fleet (built in 1999) and can travel up to 40 knots, is 55 metres long and can hold up to 440 passengers. Flyingcat 5 built in 1996 in Norway can accommodate around 330 passengers while Flyingcat 6 was built in Singapore in 1997 and caters for up to 337 passengers.

Onboard Cabins / Reserved Seating

As these highspeed ships generally operate on shorter crossings, there are no cabin facilities available. Seating can be pre-booked and comes in a choice of Economy class 1, Economy class 2 (different lounges) and Business class. This guide covers numerous vessels so availability may depend on the service you are travelling on.

Please Note: Whilst we have taken great care in making our Flyingcat guide as accurate as possible, onboard facilities, services and entertainment may vary depending on the date and time of year that you travel, facilities mentioned may change without notification and ferry companies reserve the right to operate vessels other than those mentioned at time of booking without prior notification.

"Booking experience"

Being a tourist not knowing your ferry trip by heart it is a great blunder that you do not show the whole trip online i.e. all the ferry stop. This partly made my book a trip using ferryhopper which ended up in paying for 8 tickets instead of 4 for the mayor part of the journey, i.e. an additional cost of some +100 euro!

"Difficult "

We were not advised - despite numerous calls to the call centre prior to departing - that we needed to exchange our paper tickets (‘as long as you have a print out with the ticket numbers that will be fine) at a tiny kiosk inside a cafe across the road from the Flying Cat departure point in Poros. The staff from Cosmote were rude and dismissive. Only because a local - whom we had met during our stay - witnessed this and helped us quickly to exchange the paper ticket for an actual ticket were we able to get on our ferry. And only just. Likewise we were poorly advised regarding our outbound trip from Piraeus to Poros due to the national transport strike. Unimpressive and rude telephone staff your side did not help. I would hesitate to use your site again. I will be claiming back the unused portion of my fare - only facilitated because the girl at the desk in Poros noticed we had not travelled outbound and gave me the unissued ticket to make the claim.

"Flying Dolphin"

I was booked to return from Spetses to Piraeus with Blue Star Ferries but discovered I was traveling with their sister company Hellenic Seaways on its Flying Dolphin. Ours did not fly! It was 40 minutes late leaving Spetses and 1 hour 30 minutes late arriving in Piraeus. There was no air con in the standard lounge and no catering service. The hydrofoil was congested with luggage piled in the entrance to the lounge. The staff made no effort to show people to their seats or to deal with a passenger who was occupying someone else's seat for his luggage. In contrast, the outward trip from Piraeus to Spetses on a Blue Star ferry was much better. The upper lounge was spacious and well ventilated, with overhead lockers for storage. Drinks and snacks were available to purchase. Despite being full and calling at two other islands, the boat arrived on time at Spetses. Your stars don't work for me. Another fix!!!

"You Need To Get The Tickets Before Boarding"

Whilst it was very clear and easy to book the Greek ferry tickets on the website the confirmation that you print off at the end of the process is NOT a ticket. You have to take the confirmation to the ticket office and get the actual tickets printed off or you will not be allowed to board the ferry. You must do this before boarding. Otherwise all good thanks.

"Ferry ok BUT port a bit disorganised "

The ferry service from Piraeus to Hydra is fast and efficient. Bit of a scrum getting on the ferry but otherwise good. Don’t forget anything on the dock - the ferry won’t go back once shoved off. Some poor sole watched her bag disappear into the distance. The only negative would be Piraeus Port itself. It is not necessarily clear where specific ferries depart from - a sign post or two might help - perhaps that is the Greek way!!!!

"Check and double check!"

On arriving in Skiathos we went to the ferry office to get our pre-booked tickets printed out. When a ferry appeared close to the time expected, we were unsure if it was the right one so we asked in the office and were told it was. We got on, put our luggage in the ‘Skopelos ‘ luggage rack and went upstairs where our tickets were checked. Only when my husband said we were going west did I realise something was wrong, just as our name was announced on the tannoy (along with two other families). We were on our way to Volos in mainland Greece - two hours in the wrong direction, on the last ferry of the day. We had to find a hotel for the night as well as pay for a three hour ferry back to our original destination, costing over £150 plus one day out of our holiday. Not overly impressed.

"Concern re. Flying Dolphins"

We went from Piraeus to Hydra on Friday, 14th June on a Flying Dolphin - we were very concerned about the pungent smell of fumes emitted from the vessel. Indeed seeing such a vessel from the island during a weekend stay it was evident that large amounts of black exhaust fumes were being put into the atmosphere. The return journey on Monday, 17th June was on a Flying Cat - this was indeed a much better experience. No pungent fumes and no evidence of pollution.

"Nearly missed our ferry!"

Arrived at Athens port with plenty of time to spare. Collected our tickets from Blue Star office. Advised we were on flying cat 6. Waited at terminal 6, a large port. Didn’t pay much attention to the HELLENIC ferry in the distance, thinking it couldn’t be ours, we were booked on a sea jet. Luckily a kind man selling sunglasses asked which ferry we should be on. When we told him he bagan frantically gesturing that that was our ferry and we needed to run, we only had 5 minutes to departure! Luckily we made it but have to say we were totally confused by the fact it was not a sea jet boat. We travel to the Greek islands twice a year and regularly make several ferry journeys to island hop but this one nearly didn’t happen!! On the boat it was clean, comfortable with efficient staff so no complaints there at all. Next time we will be more vigilant!

"Excellent service"

Both journeys to and from Ermioni and Piraeus went well and were on time. The larger boat is probably better in terms of facilities as it has a small cafe and, for a 3 hour + journey is a bonus. The Flying Dolphin has not got that and that was a miss. However I preferred the comfort of this boat. I could not get my head round the reserved seating numbers which are 4 digit and very confusing. There is not enough luggage space on either boat and both times my luggage got totally buried and I had to remove lots of heavy suitcases out of the way of my small case in order to get off at Ermioni.

"last minute cancellation of ferry"

Our ferry from Athens to Spetses was fine. The ferry back was 'suspended' with no explanation, informed by a text 1.5 hours before it was due to leave. As a result, we had to pay 20. euros for a water taxi to mainland and then 200 euros from the mainland to Athens airport as this was the only way to make our flight. Although the ferry company reimbursed us and was helpful in organising taxis, this was extremely stressful and expensive. I would not trust this ferry company again.

"Piraeus to Hydra return trip"

Excellent arrangement in booking and timeliness of the service. However, a better method of storing the cases as you board the Dolphin is needed to make the disembarkation more efficient and avoid cases falling all over the passage. The seamen strike on the 3/4 Sept could have been better communicated to passengers via sms or notices at the local office in Hydra. Alternative travel arrangements should have been offered by Hellenic Seaways to help passengers who had connecting flights to catch. For example arranging for a group facility to Metochi and then a bus to Athens. People had to find their own way which is not so easy for foreign tourists. The uncertainty of the duration of the strike made the situation more problematic.

With two stops en route there is no chance to make up time if things take longer than planned, and this perhaps could be factored into the scheduled times. That said, as the Cat was berthed overnight at Alonissos, the return journey started exactly on time. The facilities and cleanliness were excellent; I didn't use the catering but the range of food and drinks available seemed fine.

"TERRIBLE JOURNEY!!!"

We travelled with Hellenic Seaways from Spetses to Piraeus on Sunday 19th August on the 1050 ferry. The journey was an absolute disaster, lasting 5 hours rather than the scheduled 2.5 hours! There was clearly a fault with the ferry itself as it was travelling very slowly and took an alternative route to the one it should have. Yet we had only one announcement as we left Poros, the last pick up before heading back to Piraeus, saying that the boat was going to slow down to aid passenger comfort as the sea was choppy. The sea actually wasn't particularly rough, but it was clear that the ferry was not operating properly, with black smoke billowing from the chimney and very odd, straining sounds coming from below. At no point did anyone communicate with the passengers to explain that there was a problem and to give them a new estimated time of arrival. No water was brought round despite the heat and when we asked any of the crew how long it would take were just told 'about an hour'. When we asked an hour later, we were told the same thing!!! We eventually arrived in Piraeus at 1600, rather than the scheduled time of 1330.. There was no apologies and no explanations from the crew, in fact no communication at all!. We completely understand that, if there was a fault with the boat, then it was beyond their control but to just not tell anyone what was happening was completely unacceptable!

"Nightmare"

We caught the flying dolphin from Spetses to Piraeus on Sunday 19 August. The journey was supposed to take 2 hours and 40 minutes m about an hour in it became obvious that something was wrong with the boatbasnit slowed to What I can only describe as rowing boat pace. There was one announcement attributing this to the weather conditions which patently was not the case as black smoke was billowing from the back of the boat. Then radio silence. We reached Piraeus 3 hours late and miased our connecting flight to London. No information, no apology, no offer of water. Unbelievable.

"Beware of delays and unscheduled stops"

For anyone who has a flight to catch in Skiathos and is travelling from Skopelos: be wary! Our 11.45 am ferry was late by 45 minutes and then took an unscheduled stop at the nearby island of Alonissos. We were scheduled to arrive at Skiathos at 1.45 pm. Actual arrival time was 3.00 pm.

"Friday Skopelos/Skiathos Ferry"

Nothing wrong with the service (11.45 departure) - just a bit tight if you are catching a 4pm flight - it was windy so it was late arriving and being a departure day there was a long knock-on effect. 3/4hr late arrival and beware virtually no taxis the other end to the airport! We were first off and had the only taxi (5min drive to airport 10 Euros).

"Never Hellenic Seaways again.. "

Since our trip was canceled, it is difficult to give a review. We received a sms 2.5 hours before departure which announced that our trip is canceled. The text message referred to the office down the port, we offered a new trip for an additional fee of 20 euros per person. (total of 195 euros) Instead of getting to Rafina, we referred to the Ios-Mykonos route and then switch to the ferry to Piraeus, 50 km from our hotel. How is this possible? We travel in first class or business class and expect more than this. The following expenses have been made due to your travel. Taxi to the port of ios x 3 (12 euro) = Euro Transfer from Piraeus to Marathon beach resort = 60 Euro Food and drinks due to extended travel time (11 hour travel time instead of 4.5) = 25 Euro I expect a compensation and a feedback as soon as possible,

"Not sure"

One of the smaller ferries that is taking only passengers, no cars. What we liked is a reserved seat system and boat was fairly stable and ride comfortable. Also there is a bar to buy refreshments. What we didn't like is that there is no room to stand outside and enjoy the view and fresh air during the ride. Also the AC was configured to a veeery cold temperature, on a our trip passengers were freezing, you could hear people coughing and snorting. Also we were late 30m to our destination but that is not that bad really, don't know how other ferries are doing.

"Excellent ship experience, Piraeus needs an overhall"

Flying cat booked from Piraeus to Spetses and return. Timings of sailings perfect. Cleanliness, organisation, staff, all cannot be faulted. However, the port of Piraeus is in desperate need of updating and making a more safe and healthy environment. There is nowhere clean and safe to wait. There is a sign showing you to the passenger terminal which is a joke - it is locked up and the outside steps are being used by vagrants. There are too many beggars who make a nuisance of themselves. Please, Port Authority, invest some time, staff and money on this area before travellers are put off and forced to go elsewhere. Thank you.

"Not a good experience, I will try to avoid using this company in the future"

On our trip from Skiathos to Volos all the passenger suitcases were piled up in a small area. As a result suitcases were crushed or falling on the floor. Our suitcase was damaged and we had to buy a new one for the flight back to the UK. When we asked the staff to allow passengers to use the other available areas for the suitcases, the staff were very rude and uncooperative. the ship sailed with over 30 min delay for no obvious reason. There was no announcement to notify the passengers of the delay in arrival and they did not make any effort to speed up so we could arrive on time. As a result of the delay we missed the bus we were planning to take and we had to take the next one, which was 2 hours later. The staff seem genuinely disinterested in offering a good customer experience.

Flying Cat was literally fiying!! Timings were very prompt, as was the boarding on and off the boat. Although we were allocated seat numbers, found they were difficult to understand and find your seats. Many passengers seemed to sit wherever they wanted to, which to some people caused problems. Staff were around although not prepared to solve this problem and disappeared for the journey. Safety briefings were shown on the T.V's as was programmes in Greek. Overall a pleasant journey.

A member of Direct Ferries acted immediately, contacting Hellenic Seaways, she managed to secure a full refund and was very understanding and supportive of our situation. We repatriated our son who made a full recovery and were able to travel at a later date to Spetses. I am very grateful to Direct Ferries and Hellenic Seaways and would definitely recommend using them in the future.

Always late! At one instance the vessel came one hour + later! On all three occasions the vessel was late. From Naxos to Sifnos, from Sifnos to Folegandros and from Folegandros to Amorgos. I believe even the local Greeks are aware of that. It's a pity for the company! Hope they can rectify this. Especially since we were not travelling in peak season.

The Flying Cat service between the Sporades islands is world class, comfortable, quick and after the traditional argy bargy negotiating continental non queuing; the ferry is one of the best services we've ever used.

I booked this through direct ferries. The SeaCat left and arrived on time. There was a detailed safety review. It was reasonably comfortable- everyone has an allocated seat.

"Troublesome with the luggage on the return"

The trip to Skopelos with flying cat went very well, but the journey back to Skiathos was complicated. We were not shown where to put our luggage so we had to carry them up some very steep steps, very heavy and troublesome! Would wish for the staff to tell us where to put our bags, would've been a lot easier!

We booked our own holiday and travelled between Skiathos, Alonissos and Skopelos. We had email confirmation for each ferry but did not realise until we got there that you still have to go to the ticket office on each island to collect the tickets. It wasn't a problem though, and in each case the ticket office was directly facing the place where the ferry came in so was easy to find. The ferries were always on time and left each port at the exact time shown on the timetables. The crossings were a joy - we even saw some Dolphins!!!!

"Speedy service"

The flying cat from Naxos to Schinoussa was a speedy and enjoyable crossing. My only criticism is with the actual direct ferries website. They don't make it cler where you have to collect your ticket from because there is no ferry terminal for ticket colelction in Naxos. You have to go to the Hellenic Seaways main office on the main street in Naxos. It is is easy to find as it is on the coast opposite the harbour (so near the ferries) but if you didn't have much time you wouldn't have known this and could miss your ferry.

"fast and comfortable"

I travelled with the fast ferry from Mykonos to Naxos and return. Comfortable ship, friendly staff and departure on time. They should improve the services at the bar. Recommended

"disabled"

Even if there isn't a specific service for disabled, they gave us priority and reserved seats in a easier position for us. I hope to find more services for us next time.
