Speedrunner Jet
High-speed single-hull ferry with vehicle deck · operated by Seajets
Despite the 'Jet' branding this is actually a single-hull ship — one of the Fincantieri-built SuperSeaCat class, oddly named given the design — built for the Italy–Croatia run and now working the less-touristed south-eastern route linking Rhodes to Karpathos, Kasos and Chalki.
Previously sailed as Speedrunner III and Superseacat Three.

Where the Speedrunner Jet sails
Seajets do not publish which ship works which crossing, so we cannot list her sailings — they file 221 departures over the next 14 days without naming a vessel on any of them. The routes she works are below; the operator's own booking page names the ship once you pick a date.
Usually works Sitia–Kasos–Karpathos–Chalki–Rhodes.
- single-hull ship, not a catamaran, so the ride can feel different from Seajets' more common twin-hull boats on a rough day.
