The small passenger ship NEFELI was built in 2001 in Greece, as the SALAMIS EXPRESS III for the Greek company Salamis Express, for service on the Perama-Salamina line (reaching the port of Paloukia). She spent 22 years there, usually alongside her fleetmate, namely the SALAMIS EXPRESS I. She was laid-up in Salamina in 2023. In 2024 she was sold to Sea Bus Waterways, and she was renamed NEFELI. She started performing daily cruises on the Palaia Epidavros-Agistri-Aegina line on the Saronic Gulf. In 2025 she was sold to Syvota Sea Cruises and she was deployed on the Ionian Sea, performing daily cruises on the Syvota-Paxoi-Antipaxoi-Corfu line.
