More than just a booking site, we are a family-run legacy. By combining German precision with Greek hospitality, we’ve replaced hidden fees and automated bots with real human expertise and a passion for the sea.
A journey born from passion
Rooted in tradition, driven by innovation.
Our story didn’t begin in a boardroom; it began with a summer romance in Athens. In 1979, the meeting of German and Greek roots sparked a mission to bridge the gap between travelers and the sea. What started as a traditional travel agency evolved into a General Sales Agency in Germany (SeeFA Reisen) by 1988 and finally, in 2007, we pioneered one of the first global online ferry booking platforms.
Today, goFerry is a proud three-generation family business. While the foundation was laid by Marianne Dahm, Dimitrios Kallinikos and Ioannis Kallinikos, the company is now led by the second and third generations. This team of brothers and cousins, Nick, George and Nikolaos, runs the daily operations, combining decades of heritage with modern digital innovation.
With the third generation, represented by Marianna, already contributing to our future, we remain a tight-knit circle. For us, every booking is a personal responsibility to uphold a reputation built over 44 years.

The goFerry difference
Mastering the details others overlook.
1. German precision: Efficient technology
- The pioneer platform: We’ve built a cutting-edge engine that manages the most comprehensive list of Mediterranean destinations with high-speed accuracy.
- Vehicle mastery: Our system handles what others ignore. Whether it’s a car, SUV, minibus, motorhome, vehicles with trailers, ATVs or motorcycle with or without a sidecar, we ensure your boarding is technically perfect.
- Multi-vehicle bookings: We are one of the few platforms allowing you to book up to 4 different vehicles in a single reservation, ideal for groups traveling together.
- Camping on board: We are perhaps the only platform offering the "Camping on Board" choice, allowing you to stay in your motorhome/caravan during the crossing (available on select Italy-Greece routes).
2. Greek hospitality: Human expertise
- The "Anti-Bot" promise: Struggling with automated bots? When a strike or cancellation happens, you get a real human companion. Our representatives Vicky, Janna, Thea, Maria, Elina, Dimitra, Nick and their team, personally solve travel changes in real-time.
- Personalized accommodation: From economy/VIP seats to 1-6 bed cabins (including disabled-access, pet and pure cabins), we help you navigate all on-board features that simple algorithms miss.
3. Modern transparency: Honest pricing
- Smart savings: We automatically apply Senior rebates, Early Booking and seasonal offers.
- Club discounts: Use your Automobile Club membership card through our system to receive up to 25% off.
- Paws on board: We make it easy to secure pet-friendly cabins or kennels, ensuring your four-legged family members are included in the transparent price from step one.
