TAXIARCHIS D (ΤΑΞΙΑΡΧΗΣ Δ)
-Dakoutros Speed
Built in 2016 (age 8). Registered in Santorini. Current line: Santorini-Nea Kameni-Palaia Kameni
The small high speed boat TAXIARCHIS D was built in 2016 in Greece, entering service for the Greek company Dakoutros Speed, also known as the Santorini Boatmen & Mooring Services, alongside her sister ship, namely the ELEFTHERIOS D, and the slightly larger PELAGOS. The three ships had been ordered following the successful introduction of the first three small high speed boats (namely the IOANNIS D in 2013, and the PRESTIGE and the FANTASIA in 2014) in Santorini by Dakoutros Speed. Like all of her fleetmates, the TAXIARCHIS D mainly operates between Santorini and the volcanic islands of Nea Kameni and Palaia Kameni, and she also helps transport passengers from cruise ships to Santorini. Two more sister ships (namely the THEOSKEPASTI and the KALLIOPI) were built in 2017, followed by the much larger MEGA STAR and SEA STAR in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
