Superfast Ferries is a ferry company founded in 1993 by Alexander Panagopulos and Pericles Panagopulos. It belongs to the Attica Group, based in Athens, Greece, together with Blue Star Ferries.

As of 2005, Superfast Ferries operates lines in the:

Adriatic Sea: Ancona and Bari, Italy - Igoumenitsa and Patras, Greece
Baltic Sea: Rostock, Germany - Hanko, Finland
North Sea: Zeebrugge, Flanders - Rosyth, Scotland (Scotland's only direct, scheduled ferry service to and from mainland Europe)

In Winter 2005, Superfast ferries removed one of the two ships operating the link between Zeebrugge and Rosyth, thus turning the daily link from Belgium to Scotland into one operated only every other day. Superfast IX joined the two ship operation between Hanko and Rostock to serve the growing demand in the Finland - Germany service. In addition, Superfast introduced a new RoRo service between Uusikaupunki and Rostock in January of 2005.

On April 12, 2006, Superfast and Attica once more took the market by surprise by agreeing to sell the three ice-class Superfast vessels to Estonian operator Tallink for 310 million Euro.
