The high speed catamaran FLYINGCAT 6 was built in 1997 in Norway, being delivered to the German company Weiße Flotte as the BALTIC JET. She was used as a high speed craft on the Travemünde-Warnemünde line on the Baltic Sea. She moved to the Cuxhaven-Heligoland line on the North Sea in 1998. She then spent a year on charter to Channel Hoppers between 1999 and 2000, being deployed on the Jersey-Guernsey-Alderney line on the Channel, and in 2000 she returned to Weiße Flotte and she was renamed HANSE JET II. She operated on the Hamburg-Heligoland line until 2003, when she returned to the Cuxhaven-Heligoland line. In 2004 she was deployed on the Bremerhaven-Heligoland line. At the end of the year, she was sold to the Greek company Hellas Flying Dolphins. She was renamed FLYINGCAT 6 and was deployed on the Sporades in 2005, operating on the Volos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line. Hellas Flying Dolphins was rebranded as Hellenic Seaways during that same year, but the FLYINGCAT 6 remained on the Sporades, continuing to operate on the Volos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line while also operating on the Agios Konstantinos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line alternatively with her fleetmate and sister ship, namely the FLYINGCAT 5. She remained on the Sporades until 2013, when she was transferred to the Saronic Gulf, being deployed on the Piraeus-Poros-Hydra-Ermioni-Spetses-Porto Cheli line. She returned to the Agios Konstantinos-Volos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line in 2014 and then returned again to the Saronic Gulf, once more on the Piraeus-Poros-Hydra-Ermioni-Spetses-Porto Cheli line, in 2015, remaining there until 2016. In 2017 she once again returned to the Agios Konstantinos-Volos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line, before returning to the Saronic Gulf, once more on the Piraeus-Poros-Hydra-Ermioni-Spetses-Porto Cheli line, in 2018. In 2020 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Aegina-Agistri-Poros-Hydra-Ermioni-Spetses-Porto Cheli line. In 2022 she returned to the Volos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line, and in 2023 she once again returned to the Piraeus-Aegina-Agistri-Poros-Hydra-Ermioni-Spetses-Porto Cheli line.
