Friends of Oinousses Society (in Greek Syllogos Filoi Oinousson, code SFO) is a small Greek shipping co-operative that runs the short ferry crossing between the island of Chios and the small Eastern Aegean island of Oinousses. The vessel is the local lifeline for the Oinousses community and serves day visitors during the summer.
The vessel used on the Chios-Oinousses crossing is a small ROPAX appropriate for the short hop, with deck seating and basic indoor lounge. Onboard amenities are minimal; this is a community ferry rather than a tourist product. Fleet details are not published on a comprehensive English-language website.
SimpleFerry issues a booking confirmation. Tickets are usually collected at the port booth at Chios or Oinousses. Standard luggage allowance for Greek inter-island ferries (around 50 kg per passenger) applies. Schedules are tied to local working life on Oinousses; expect a small number of daily sailings.
Friends of Oinousses Society is a small local co-operative without a comprehensive English-language website. Aggregator route data is the main public reference.
The crossing is also served by Blue Star Ferries on selected sailings and by Makri Travel.
