Nice ferry ride
The ferry ride was very smooth. Comfortable seats. Our ferry from Hydra Island to Athens was about 30-40 minutes late picking us up.

Good service to hydra
The boats Magic 2 and 3 are very nice. All the process from booking to boarding was flawless. The only thing I can criticize is the time of the travel. It says 1 hour 20 minutes. While you are on board, you will quickly realise that's a complete fantasy. The trip is at least 2 hours, especially since this is supposed to be a direct trip, but no, they make a stop. We almost missed our flight because of their false claim.

30 minutes late departing from Hydra without the slightest word of apology. Not very professional! -

First trip with Magic Sea
[Translated from German]
This was our first trip with this ferry company and we are delighted. We traveled from Hydra to Piraeus and everything went perfectly.
The ferry was delayed due to strong winds, but we were informed about it a day in advance, so we could prepare accordingly. The service staff was also very friendly, both on board and at the office right on the island.
The boat is very clean and the seats are comfortable. The trip was fast and we are very satisfied. We will book again! Thank you for everything! Best regards, Marie.
