The last known sailing on this route was on 27 September 2026.
No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Check whether it is currently available to book through Ferryscanner.

The crossing from Koufonissi to Ios takes about three hours on the Seajets high-speed boats, usually the Super Jet 2 or Superjet. The route threads south-west across the central Cyclades, generally calling at other islands on the way rather than running direct. It is a fast, enclosed sort of journey, comfortable enough but not one for long spells on deck.
Ios sits between Naxos and Santorini and has a long-standing reputation as a lively island popular with younger travellers, though there are quieter corners away from the main strip. Boats dock at the harbour village of Ormos, a few kilometres below the hilltop Chora, with buses running up the hill and down to Mylopotas beach. The harbour itself has tavernas, ticket agents and enough shade to wait out a connection.
Sailings work out at roughly one a day in season, so plan around a single departure rather than assuming choices. The live timetable and current fares are shown below. Ios is a regular stop on the Piraeus to Santorini corridor, which makes onward connections south and north straightforward once you are there.
