Aegean Speed line

"The best shipping company of the year for its commitment and dedication to providing high quality services” – named by Lloyds List. 

 

Today, Aegean Speed Lines is one of the fastest growing companies in the industry with a key feature the care for the needs of the modern passenger and the development of the islands. Aegean Speed Line has been active in the Greek coastal market since 2005. Aegean Speed Lines provides its services from Port Piraeus to the islands of Cyclades – Serifos, Sifnos, Milos.   

 

Aegean Speed Lines uses three ultra-modern high-speed vessels: SPEEDRUNNER II, SPEEDRUNNER III, and SPEEDRUNNER IV which meet leading comfort, quality and safety requirements. It covers the transportation needs of the western Cycladic islands, because the company strongly believes that by offering a multitude of transportation solutions is catalytic to the growth and prosperity of all residents of the region – as to predict plan and offer on a daily basis, high standard services. In the sphere of security, Aegean Speed Lines follow the national and international security regulations.

 

The security of passengers is the main concern for every initiative and decision of the company. Every intervention on the boat aims at the improvement of the vessel's high standard security system. The boat staff has been designed in such a way so as for the crew to be effective in such conditions. All vessels are equipped with the finest navigational systems as well as with the most modern safety equipment. The vessel's security systems are double checked by specialized technicians when passengers embark or disembark the ship, checking from the start, everything, regardless the crew's prior inspections. All material used for the vessel's construction are fireproof and recyclable.

Since 2009, other than the routes of Piraeus-Western Cyclades (Serifos, Sifnos, Milos, Kimolos, Folegandros), the fleet of Aegean Speed Lines have also been serving the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos, Piraeus-Thira-Ios and Sikinos whereas during 2010 it has also extended its operations to Piraeus-Paros-Naxos.

Traveling by ferry I prefer Aegean Speed Lines over other names, because the former is much larger and much less likely to make you sick. I have only been in their Economy class but it is fine - large comfortable train-style seats, cafe, bars, etc. As far as reliability - it just depends on the weather (if the boat is running on your date, that is a good choice). Ferry prices are fixed, but flight prices fluctuate, so the later you book, the more expensive they are.

Larger highspeed ferries (those that take cars) sometimes have a small outdoor area, but as a rule you can't go out while the ferry is in transit. Smaller highspeed ferries (passenger only) and catamarans don't have outdoor areas. 

Use the booking website http://ferries-booking.com/ and you’ll be more advanced by their offers and discounts. Easy, simple and more efficient than any other booking system I’ve tried until now.  

Enjoy your trip by Aegean Speed line, and let me know your opinions about it.
