Golden Star Ferries is a
Greekferry company operating from the Greek mainland to the
Cyclades islands in the
Aegean Sea.
Golden Star Ferries was founded in 2011 by
Andriot brothers Giorgos and Dimitris Stephanou, who also own the Bright Navigationshipping freight company.
Current fleet
Golden Star Ferries currently operates a fleet of three ships, one of which is a high-speed craft.[1]
The legend of Rafina or known to the public as Superferry II was one of the most important Greek ferries that sailed on the route Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos. Superferry II was built as Prince Laurent at the
Cockerill Yards for
Regie voor Maritiem Transport and sailed for many different companies until
Strintzis Lines bought it in order to renew their aging fleet with new and more efficient ships. In 1999 the ship moves to the hands of the newly created Blue Ferries (known today as
Blue Star Ferries) which was created by Strintzis Lines as their subsidiary company. In March 2011, the ferry was sold to the then newly founded Golden Star Ferries ferry company. For 10 straight years, the ship sailed in the same route. In its 28th year of service, Golden Star Ferries decided to stop using the ship and sold it to the
Seajets company. Now the ship is on its 29th year of service and still remains at the port of Rafina.
