Aegean Flying Dolphins is a Greek hydrofoil operator founded in 2006 and based in Piraeus. The company specialises in fast passenger crossings between Piraeus and the Saronic Gulf islands and between Volos and the Sporades. Its fleet of three hydrofoils carries foot passengers only and operates mainly during the high season.
The fleet consists of three hydrofoils: Athina, Venus I and Erato. All three are foot-passenger vessels with airline-style seating, no cabins and no vehicle decks. Onboard amenities are minimal by design — these are short crossings of 30 minutes to two hours, focused on speed rather than entertainment. Passengers sit in numbered seats during the journey. Hydrofoils typically operate at around 32 knots, which makes them the fastest scheduled service in the Saronic Gulf and a useful option for day trips from Athens to Aegina, Agistri or Poros.
Aegean Flying Dolphins tickets sold through SimpleFerry are confirmed by booking reference, but the operator does not currently issue printable e-tickets. Passengers exchange the booking reference for a paper ticket at the port booth before boarding. Boarding closes 40 minutes before departure, after which late arrivals cannot board. Plan to be at the port at least one hour before scheduled departure during the summer. Hand luggage is allowed at no additional charge. Hydrofoils have very limited luggage space, so oversized bags or sports equipment may not be accepted. Vehicles, motorcycles and bicycles are not carried.
Pets travel only in pet kennels with valid health documentation. Unaccompanied pets are not accepted on Aegean Flying Dolphins crossings.
