Is there one ferry company in Greece that is better than the others?

The high speed ferries tend to be less reliable when it's windy ( they will have more delays) but the boats are all more or less the same. Which ferry you take depends on where and when you want to go.
This year we went with Bluestar from Santorini to Paros (no delay), from Paros to Ios with Seajets (1,5 hour delay), Hellenic from Ios to Sikinos (1 hour delay), from Sikinos to Santorini with Zante (no delay)

We have used several ferry companies in Greece and have had varied experiences with each and event good/bad with the same company.
Here is a list of some of the more popular ferry companies that operate in Greece:
- Blue Start Ferries
- Hellenic Seaways
- Minoan Lines
- Sea Jets
- Aegean Speedlines
- Golden Star Ferries
- Zante Ferries
- Alpha Lines
These are some that come to mind! Hope this helps!!

I have never paid attention to the ferry company names when I have taken ferries, and they all feel the same to me. Mostly, I use whichever one as the ferry time that I need.

I am working on planning a yacht trip through Greece. I live it because I am in total control of the itinerary and what goes on, unlike booking a cruise or something. There's enough of us in the group to make this a super affordable trip.
I am developing am itinerary - thought I'd run it by you:
What do you think? Anything to add or subtract? I have about 10 days.
I am developing am itinerary - thought I'd run it by you:
- Athens to Mykonos: Begin in the historic port of Athens and make your way to the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos. Dock at Agios Ioannis beach and take a stroll through Little Venice.
- Mykonos to Naxos: Naxos awaits, with its marble gateway to nowhere and beautiful beaches. Try the local kitron liqueur for a true taste of the island.
- Santorini: Sail to the iconic island of Santorini, where the sunset from Oia is second to none. Enjoy a swim in the hot springs of Palea Kameni and taste some of the best wines in Greece.
- Ios to Folegandros: Keep the vibes high in Ios known for its lively atmosphere, then find tranquility in Folegandros, where the untouched Mediterranean prevails.
- Return to Athens: Wrap up your adventure with a pitstop in Syros, the capital of the Cyclades. Its charm lies in its austere yet handsome neoclassical buildings and the stunning Aegean views.
What do you think? Anything to add or subtract? I have about 10 days.
