Dodekanisos Seaways was established in 1999 by Giorgos Spanos in Rhodes. The company commenced operations with the high-speed catamaran Dodekanisos Express, which was constructed exclusively for the company at the Båtservice Mandal AS shipyard in Norway and delivered in 2000. In 2005, the company launched its second high-speed catamaran, Dodekanisos Pride, and in 2011, it acquired the passenger and vehicle ferry Panagia Skiadeni.
