SAOS Ferries is a Greek shipping company founded in 1975 by residents of Samothraki, taking its name from a mountain on the island. Headquartered in Alexandroupoli in northeastern Greece, the company is currently active across the Dodecanese island chain. The fleet consists of the conventional ferries F/B Stavros and F/B Saonisos plus the high-speed HSF Zefyros, with a fast craft Nissos acquired in 2023.
SAOS Ferries operates two conventional Ro-Pax vessels for passengers and vehicles plus high-speed craft for foot passengers. F/B Saonisos was built in 1994, carries 341 passengers and 50 vehicles, and serves Cycladic and Dodecanese routes. F/B Stavros, built in 2000, carries 587 passengers and 100 vehicles and operates in the Dodecanese. HSF Zefyros is a passenger-only fast ferry without a vehicle deck. Conventional ships offer indoor and outdoor seating areas, including airplane-type numbered seats. Lounges, an open-air deck and basic onboard catering provide a comfortable ride for short and medium crossings. Designated pet-friendly areas are available on board. Vessels are wheelchair accessible to varying degrees; passengers requiring assistance should arrange this in advance.
