Golden Star Ferries was founded in 2011 by Andriot brothers Giorgos and Dimitris Stephanou, who also own the Bright Navigation shipping freight company.

Golden Star Ferries currently operates a fleet of three ships, one of which is a high-speed craft.

[1] The legend of Rafina or known to the public as Superferry II was one of the most important Greek ferries that sailed on the route Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos.

Superferry II was built as Prince Laurent at the Cockerill Yards for Regie voor Maritiem Transport and sailed for many different companies until Strintzis Lines bought it in order to renew their aging fleet with new and more efficient ships.

In its 28th year of service, Golden Star Ferries decided to stop using the ship and sold it to the Seajets company.
