Our journey
It all started in 2016 with three friends on a small Greek island, struggling to find a ferry connection to another small island, so that they could make their way to an even smaller island… Just like that, the idea for an easy way to go island hopping was born and the rest is history:

Naked truths
Since we sold our first ticket back in 2017, more than 400 panda bear cubs have been born. This means the more tickets we sell, the more pandas are born. Sounds like a good deal, right?
In the summer, we sell enough tickets per day to fill more than 14 large ferries. That’s a lot of seats!
Our Customer Support Team helps around 94,000 travelers during the summer season. That’s more than enough people to fill the Wembley Stadium!
Our mobile app has been downloaded 850,000 times (only 76 of those were our parents).
The Ferryhopper Team is what makes Ferryhopper special!
We are over 110 people from diverse backgrounds coming to you from our offices in Athens, Greece, our satellite teams in Spain and Italy, and more places in and out of this world!
Our team is constantly on the lookout for new ways to improve and expand our knowledge and services, be it a new 30-hour ferry ride that no one asked for or an app feature everyone asked for!
Together, we’re changing the way people travel by ferry and redesigning the sea travel experience step-by-step, so that we all enjoy a smooth and easy trip!
