Do you have any recommendations for July 23 ferry ride. Would like to take a fast one if anyone has a good review of particular operator and boat.
Thank you

My experience is that the water needs to be glass smooth and the weather perfect, no wind, in order to take the faster boats. Otherwise the ride will be rough (Bumpy is maybe a bit nice) and it would be unpleasant if you are prone to seasickness, or sensitive to others getting sick. If the wind does pick up, they will also likely cancel the departure. You can wait until the day of, or day before, to decide, based on weather, but a larger boat is a safer option. Specific ferry lines really do not make any difference, size and type of boat is all that matters.

Also avoid the Super Jet. It's quite small and if the seas are at all rough everyone will get seasick inside and enclosed passenger compartment with no fresh air!

I usually book the conventional ferries because I like to get out on deck, take pics, check out other island ports etc. I've had a bad experience with a Flying Cat from Amorgos to Piraeus. The Mykonos to Santorini route is not that big of a distance, so OK, I guess a fast ferry would do. Have in mind that the fast ones cost twice the price of the conventional. Ferry service runs from Mykonos to Santorini miimum 2 times per day. The trip takes approximately 2.5 hours by high-speed ferries.
