​

Among the best high speed craft and ships of the Greek coastal service, the HIGHSPEED 4 was built in 2000 in Australia, and was the fourth high speed ferry to join Minoan Flying Dolphins. Delivered in the same year as the HIGHSPEED 2 and the HIGHSPEED 3, she began service on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos line, where she immediately earned much acclaim for her fast and comfortable service. Minoan Flying Dolphins was renamed Hellas Flying Dolphins in 2002. She was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos line in 2003. In 2005 her company was renamed Hellenic Seaways, and she was deployed on the Piraeus-Chania line. In 2006 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Chania line. In 2008 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos line. In 2009 she was on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini line, and in 2010 she operated on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos line, forming a formidable duo with her fleetmate, the HIGHSPEED 5, during both seasons. She stayed there in 2011 and in 2012, before being deployed solely on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos line in 2013. In 2014 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Koufonisi-Amorgos line, where she was very successful. In 2015, following the fire suffered by the HIGHSPEED 5 (which later became the HIGHSPEED 7 and is now the SANTORINI PALACE of Minoan Lines), the HIGHSPEED 4 replaced her on her usual line, the Heraklion-Santorini-Ios-Paros-Mykonos line for the summer. She returned to the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Koufonisi-Amorgos line in 2016. In 2019, she was deployed exclusively on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Koufonisi line. In 2021 she returned to the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Koufonisi-Amorgos line.
