FLYING DOLPHIN XXIX (ΦΛΑΪΝΓΚ ΝΤΟΛΦΙΝ ΧΧΙΧ)
-Hellenic Seaways
Built in 1993 (age 31). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (laid-up in Perama)
The hydrofoil FLYING DOLPHIN XXIX was built in 1993 in Georgia, being delivered to the Greek company Ceres Flying Dolphins. She became the last small hydrofoil to be acquired of the company and to begin operations for them (as three larger hydrofoils called Mega Dolphins joined the fleet in the following years). She began her career on the Piraeus-Aegina-Agistri-Poros-Hydra-Ermioni-Spetses-Porto Cheli line on the Saronic Gulf. In 1999 Ceres Flying Dolphins was taken over by Minoan Flying Dolphins. Nevertheless, the hydrofoil remained on her same Saronic Gulf itinerary. Her company was renamed Hellas Flying Dolphins in 2002, and was then rebranded as Hellenic Seaways in 2005. In 2022, following the arrival of the three newly-built aero high speed catamarans of Hellenic Seaways, she was withdrawn from service and was laid-up in Perama. By the time of withdrawal from service, she was youngest active hydrofoil in the Greek coastal service. Her future remains uncertain.

The FLYING DOLPHIN XXIX in Piraeus. It was her first season under the new colours of Hellenic Seaways high speed craft, after the company agreed to be sponsored by Greek telephone company Cosmote. She was also the first high speed craft of the company to receive the new Cosmote colours in late 2015, which included green, white and blue shades on her bow, hull, and stern, respectively (7/2015).
