Superexpress
Wave-piercing high-speed catamaran · operated by Golden Star Ferries
An Incat wave-piercing catamaran that shaves hours off the Rafina-Santorini run — a fast, fully-enclosed ride, so if smooth-water comfort matters more than speed, this is not the boat for choppy days.
Previously sailed as Golden Express and Express.
