​

The high speed ferry PAROS JET was built in 1996 in Italy for the French-Italian company Corsica Ferries-Sardinia Ferries, alongside two other sister ships. She was initially known as the CORSICA EXPRESS II, and was deployed on the Nice-Bastia line. She was renamed CORSICA EXPRESS SECONDA the following year, and she was deployed on the Genoa-Bastia line. In 1998 she was deployed on the Savona-Bastia line, while in 2003 she was placed on the Vado Ligure-Bastia line. She was laid-up alongside her sister ships in Vado Ligure in 2010, due to a lack of demand and an increase in the bunker prices required for high speed ferries in France. After two years of lay-up she returned to service on the Piombino-Elba line, where she also remained in 2013. She was again laid-up in Vado Ligure in 2014, but was sold the following year to the Greek company Sea Jets. She was converted in Elefsina, where she was renamed PAROS JET. She entered service on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Koufonisi-Amorgos line for the 2015 season. In 2016 she was deployed on the Rafina-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini line. In 2017 she and the TERA JET operated together on the Rafina-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos line. In 2018 she served as a replacement ship for Sea Jets whenever one of its ferries (as well as ferries owned by other companies) had engine issues. She mainly operated on the Rafina-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos line as well as on the Piraeus-Mykonos-Naxos-Santorini line. In 2019 she was again deployed on the Rafina-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos line, operating alongside the NAXOS JET. In 2021 she was deployed on the Heraklion-Santorini-Agios Nikolaos-Siteia-Kasos-Karpathos-Chalki-Rhodes line.
