SYMI II (ΣΥΜΗ ΙΙ)
-Sea Dreams
Built in 1990 (age 35). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (under refit in Rhodes)
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, 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 in Rhodes. She eventually resumed service on the Rhodes-Symi line in 2024.
