SYMI II (ΣΥΜΗ ΙΙ)
-Sea Dreams
Built in 1990 (age 36). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Rhodes-Symi
The small catamaran ferry SYMI II was built in 1990 in Greece, being the second ship to join the Greek company ANES Ferries, following the SYMI I (today the OSTRIA of Nostos Cruises), which had started operations back in 1980. The SYMI II was deployed on the Rhodes-Symi line on the Dodecanese, where she remained for 20 years. In 2011 she was laid-up in Rhodes due to the difficult financial conditions of her company, remaining there until she underwent a refit in Salamina in 2015. She was eventually reactivated in 2016, being deployed on the Glyfa-Skiathos-Skopelos line on the Sporades. In 2017 she operated on the Volos-Skiathos-Skopelos line. In 2018, she joined Sea Jets, as part of a trade which saw her former fleetmate, namely the SYMI, joining ANES Ferries for a second stint. The SYMI II returned to the Dodecanese, being once again deployed on the Rhodes-Symi line. In 2020 she was once again laid-up in Rhodes, where she remained for three years. In 2023 she underwent another refit in Salamina in order to resume service, but she once again missed the season and she remained laid-up in Rhodes. She eventually resumed service on the Rhodes-Symi line in 2024.
