A small, quick catamaran built in Western Australia and previously named for a polar research vessel before it, that now covers the short, popular Ios–Santorini–Mykonos hop for Seajets — a good option when you just need to get between islands fast and aren't bringing a car.

Scheduled crossings over the next 14 days, busiest first.

Usually works Ios–Santorini–Mykonos and connections between Heraklion, the Cyclades and Piraeus.

  • In June 2024 the vessel suffered anchor damage to its bow in bad weather and was briefly grounded by the Mykonos Port Authority pending a seaworthiness certificate; worth a spot-check that it's back on a normal schedule before relying on it.
