Saronic Ferries is the trade name used since 2013 by a joint venture of two long-established Greek operators, 2WAYFERRIES and NOVA FERRIES, which together bring more than 60 years of combined experience in the Saronic Gulf. Headquartered in Piraeus, the company operates a fleet of five conventional Ro-Pax ferries on year-round daily routes between Piraeus and the Saronic islands of Aegina, Agistri, Methana and Poros.
The fleet of five Ro-Pax ferries — Achaeos, Phivos, Apollon Hellas, Poseidon Hellas and Antigoni — accepts foot passengers, cars, motorhomes, motorcycles and bicycles on every sailing. Onboard, ferries offer indoor seating areas with airline-style seats, an outdoor deck, a snack bar and toilets. The crossings are short (1 to 2 hours), so there are no cabins. Saronic Ferries has stated a long-term goal of operating an all-electric fleet by 2040, in line with broader Greek shipping decarbonisation plans.
