Superfast Ferries is a Greece-based transport company founded in 1993 as a subsidiary to the Attica Group. Primarily, the ferry service operates throughout the Adriatic Sea, making connections between Greece and Italy. However, in the past, operations have occurred in other European areas, such as the North Sea and Baltic Sea.

Superfast Ferries connect the Italian port city of Ancona to Patras in Greece, with a stopover at Igoumenitsa. The entire journey takes about 20 hours; 16 hours for the first leg, Ancona to Igoumenitsa, then a further four hours for the final stretch into Patras. The trip is provided daily.

The second route between Greece and Italy also occurs on a daily schedule, and sails from the port of Bari to the port of Patras, stopping at the coastal towns of Igoumenitsa and Corfu along the way. Traveling time for the Monday-Saturday routes is about 15 hours, 30 minutes, but on Sunday the route takes about 17 hours.

In March 2009, the Superfast Ferry company introduced a new route in the Aegean Sea, between Piraeus and Heraklion in Crete, departing on a daily basis.

The Superfast fleet consists of several modern and high-speed vessels, including the Superfast One, Five, Six, Eleven, Twelve and the Blue Horizon. Passenger capacity for the ferries is about 1500 persons, except for the Superfast One, which holds a capacity of 950.

Passenger comfort and enjoyment are highest priorities onboard Superfast Ferries, therefore the vessels provide a vast range of facilities and activities to delight travelers. Such services include fine quality restaurants, casinos, indoor and outdoor bars, shopping, swimming pools, and internet connection.

Due to the length of the journey, passengers are provided with excellent accommodation choices. Patrons can select from two, three or four bedroom, inside or outside, cabins, or for those traveling on a budget, dormitories are available, with six beds per area. All rooms come fully equipped with amenities, bedding, and furniture.
