CHAMPIONS LEAGUE JET 2 is a high-speed passenger and vehicle catamaran operated by Seajets. Built in Australia in 2007, the vessel entered Greek domestic service in July 2026 after an extensive career in Turkey. She was originally delivered as ORHAN GAZI-1 for İstanbul Deniz Otobüsleri and was later acquired by Seajets, passing through the names JAMBO JET 1 and JUMBO JET 2 before receiving her present name.
The vessel made her first arrival at the Port of Piraeus under the name CHAMPIONS LEAGUE JET 2 on 24 July 2026. The following day she entered regular Greek ferry service on the Piraeus–Cyclades–Heraklion route, replacing CHAMPIONS LEAGUE JET 1. Her itinerary linked Piraeus with Syros, Tinos, Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Santorini and Heraklion, making her one of the newest large high-speed ferries operating from Piraeus during the 2026 summer season.
Built by Austal in Fremantle, Australia, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE JET 2 measures approximately 88 metres in length and 24 metres in beam. According to Seajets, she can carry 1,172 passengers and 140 vehicles and has a maximum speed of up to 43 knots. Her gross tonnage is 6,133 GT and her deadweight is approximately 520 tonnes.

History
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE JET 2 spent the first major part of her career in Turkey as ORHAN GAZI-1. Seajets acquired the vessel in 2024, after which she was brought to Greece and underwent work and adaptation before entering service with the Greek operator. Her introduction in July 2026 marked the beginning of a new phase in her career, this time operating high-speed services from Piraeus to the Cyclades and Crete.
PiraeuShips Record
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE JET 2 was recorded at Piraeus by PiraeuShips during her first season in regular Greek service. Her arrival in Piraeus in July 2026 was particularly notable, as it marked the vessel’s entry into commercial operation with Seajets after her previous career in Turkey.
MAGIC 5 is a high-speed passenger catamaran operated by Magic Sea Ferries in the Saronic Gulf. Built in 2025, the vessel is one of the newest passenger craft serving from Piraeus and has a capacity of 312 passengers, all accommodated in airline-style seating. During the 2026 season, MAGIC 5 was deployed on services linking Piraeus with Aegina and Skala Agistri, strengthening Magic Sea Ferries’ presence on the Saronic routes.
The vessel was originally built as MAJESTIC DYNAMIC for Singapore-based Majestic Fast Ferry. She was constructed at Cahaya Samudra Shipyard in Indonesia, as hull AL061, and delivered in September 2025. MAGIC 5 measures 39 metres in length and 10 metres in beam, with a gross tonnage of 397 GT and deadweight of about 40 tonnes. Propulsion is provided by two MTU 16V 2000 M72 main engines developing a combined 2,880 kW, giving a service speed of approximately 28 knots. The vessel is classed by Bureau Veritas.
After her acquisition by Magic Sea Ferries, the catamaran arrived in Greece on 24 January 2026, transported aboard the general cargo vessel Lady Luciana. She subsequently took the name MAGIC 5 and joined the company’s expanding high-speed fleet.

History
MAGIC 5 represents an interesting example of a virtually new vessel transferred directly from the Southeast Asian fast-ferry market to Greek domestic service. Built for Majestic Fast Ferry as MAJESTIC DYNAMIC in 2025, she spent only a short period under her original identity before being acquired for operation in Greece. Her entry into service from Piraeus in 2026 added another modern high-speed passenger vessel to the increasingly competitive Piraeus–Aegina–Agistri market.
PiraeuShips Record
MAGIC 5 was recorded at Piraeus by PiraeuShips during her first season operating from Greece’s largest port. As a 2025-built vessel entering regular service to Aegina and Agistri in 2026, she represents one of the newest additions documented in the PiraeuShips visual archive.

AGIC 1 was a modern 39-metre high-speed passenger catamaran operated in Greece by Magic Sea Ferries during an important early stage of the company's expansion into the Saronic Gulf.
Built in Indonesia in 2023 as MAJESTIC JOY for Singapore's Majestic Fast Ferry, the vessel was acquired by Greek interests in 2024, renamed MAGIC 1 and introduced on services from Piraeus to Agia Marina on Aegina and Hydra.
The Greek chapter documented by PiraeuShips proved relatively short.
During 2025, the vessel was transferred to Maltese operation and renamed:
YOUR MAGIC
By 2026 the specific vessel carrying IMO 1017361 is registered under the Maltese flag and operating with Gozo Fast Ferry between Malta and Gozo.

Current Status: Active
Built as MAJESTIC JOY
The vessel was ordered by:
Majestic Fast Ferry Pte. Ltd. of Singapore
and constructed at Cahaya Samudra Shipyard in Indonesia.
She was assigned yard number:
AL045
and delivered on:
20 November 2023.
Her original name was:
MAJESTIC JOY
She formed part of a substantial series of 39-metre aluminium passenger catamarans designed by Incat Crowther for Majestic.
Incat Crowther 39
The vessel belongs to the successful Incat Crowther 39 passenger-catamaran family.
The design uses a marine-grade aluminium hull and is optimised for high-frequency passenger transport.
Principal design characteristics include:
Length: 39.0 m
Beam: 10.0 m
Passenger capacity: approximately 312–317
Service speed: 28 knots
Maximum speed: 32 knots.
Unlike many high-speed catamarans using waterjets, the design employs:
conventional propellers.
MTU Propulsion
Propulsion is provided by:
2 × MTU 16V2000 M72 diesel engines
each developing:
1,440 kW
for a total installed propulsion power of:
2,880 kW.
The engines drive two propellers.
This relatively straightforward propulsion arrangement combines high speed with fuel efficiency and lower mechanical complexity than some larger high-speed craft.
Singapore – Batam
As MAJESTIC JOY, the vessel initially served the regional passenger network linking:
Singapore
with
Batam, Indonesia.
This is one of Southeast Asia's important international fast-ferry markets.
Her first career stage, however, lasted only a matter of months.
Acquired by Magic Sea Ferries
In 2024, MAJESTIC JOY was acquired by Magic Sea Ferries and renamed:
MAGIC 1.
The vessel became one of the first modern high-speed catamarans associated with the company's expansion plans.
On 4 April 2024, MAGIC 1 began her delivery voyage toward Greece, with Piraeus as her destination.
She arrived during the first half of May.
Piraeus – Agia Marina – Hydra
Magic Sea Ferries planned the vessel for a new Saronic Gulf connection linking:
Piraeus
Agia Marina – Aegina
and
Hydra.
The route was particularly interesting because it provided a direct maritime connection between northern Aegina and Hydra.
MAGIC 1 could carry:
312 passengers
in airline-style seating.
Passenger spaces were divided into:
Economy
and
Prime Economy.
Facilities included a café-bar, accommodation for pets and accessibility provisions for passengers with reduced mobility.
32 Knots
Magic Sea Ferries advertised MAGIC 1 with a speed of:
32 knots.
This corresponds to the design's maximum-speed figure.
The normal design service speed is closer to:
28 knots.
Her speed allowed the relatively small catamaran to perform multiple daily Saronic Gulf rotations while offering substantially shorter journey times than conventional ferries.
A Short Greek Career
MAGIC 1's Greek career under this exact identity was relatively brief.
During 2025, the IMO 1017361 vessel was transferred to Malta for operation with:
Gozo Fast Ferry.
She was renamed:
YOUR MAGIC
and transferred to the Maltese flag.
The complete vessel identity is therefore:
MAJESTIC JOY → MAGIC 1 → YOUR MAGIC
YOUR MAGIC
As YOUR MAGIC, the former Greek high-speed craft joined the fast-ferry network connecting Malta's main island with:
Gozo.
Current records identify:
Name: YOUR MAGIC
Flag: Malta
MMSI: 249715000
Call Sign: 9HA6359
Operator / Manager: Gozo Fast Ferry
The vessel is regularly recorded travelling between:
Valletta
and
Mgarr, Gozo.
Active in Malta in 2026
The specific hull carrying IMO 1017361 remains active in 2026.
September 2026 AIS records continue to show YOUR MAGIC operating in Maltese waters, frequently completing the high-speed crossing between Valletta and Gozo.
Her operating speeds remain around the mid-20-knot range during normal services.
Important Note on the MAGIC 1 Name
There is an important distinction when researching this vessel in 2026.
Magic Sea Ferries' current website and several Greek booking platforms continue to list a vessel commercially named MAGIC 1, with characteristics of 39 metres and 312 passengers, and Greek 2026 route material also uses the MAGIC 1 name.
However, current IMO-linked registry and AIS records for IMO 1017361, which is the specific vessel recorded by PiraeuShips in 2024, identify this hull as:
YOUR MAGIC
under the:
Maltese flag
and operating for:
Gozo Fast Ferry.
Because an IMO number permanently follows the physical ship regardless of changes in name, flag or commercial branding, the PiraeuShips article for IMO 1017361 should follow the MAJESTIC JOY → MAGIC 1 → YOUR MAGIC identity history.
Piraeus Connection
The vessel has a particularly direct connection with Piraeus.
She arrived in Greece in May 2024 specifically to begin Magic Sea Ferries operations from the port.
During the 2024 season she became a regular presence at the Piraeus high-speed ferry berths while operating toward Aegina and Hydra.
PiraeuShips documented MAGIC 1 during July 2024, only weeks after the former MAJESTIC JOY had begun her Greek commercial career.
PiraeuShips Record
MAGIC 1 was recorded at Piraeus by PiraeuShips during her first and ultimately relatively short Greek career. Built at Cahaya Samudra Shipyard in Indonesia in 2023 as MAJESTIC JOY for Singapore's Majestic Fast Ferry, the 39-metre Incat Crowther-designed catamaran was acquired by Magic Sea Ferries in 2024 and introduced on services from Piraeus toward Agia Marina and Hydra. The vessel was subsequently transferred to Malta and renamed YOUR MAGIC, and by 2026 IMO 1017361 was operating with Gozo Fast Ferry between Malta and Gozo. The PiraeuShips footage therefore preserves the vessel during a short-lived but significant intermediate identity between her original Singaporean career and her present Maltese operation.
ex HIGHSPEED 3 / BORAQ – former Greek Austal high-speed catamaran
MOROCCO EXPRESS 1 is a 72-metre high-speed vehicle-passenger catamaran built by Austal in Australia in 2000, originally delivered to the Greek market as the famous HIGHSPEED 3.
The vessel spent the first decade of her career operating in the Aegean for Minoan Flying Dolphins, Hellas Flying Dolphins and later Hellenic Seaways before being sold to Morocco in 2010 and renamed BORAQ.
After more than a decade in Moroccan and Spanish service — including a prolonged lay-up following the collapse of Comarit — the ship was remarkably reacquired by Hellenic Seaways at a public auction in 2023 and returned to Greece under her original HIGHSPEED 3 name.
That Greek comeback proved brief.
In 2024 the catamaran entered service for Africa Morocco Link, became MOROCCO EXPRESS 1, and was subsequently sold together with Attica Group's Moroccan operation to interests associated with Stena Line.
Today she sails under the Cyprus flag between Tarifa and Tanger Ville, continuing regular commercial service more than 26 years after construction.

Built for Greece as HIGHSPEED 3
The vessel was constructed by:
Austal Ships in Western Australia
as hull number:
87.
She was one of two identical 72-metre Auto Express catamarans ordered for:
Minoan Flying Dolphins Maritime.
Her sister ship was:
HIGHSPEED 2.
Austal's own contemporary material described both vessels as capable of carrying:
620 passengers
and:
70 cars
at speeds of up to:
40 knots.
A New Generation for the Aegean
When HIGHSPEED 3 entered Greek service in 2000, she represented a new generation of fast passenger transportation in the Aegean.
The catamaran was designed specifically around rapid island connections and quick port turnaround.
Austal incorporated separate passenger-loading arrangements so foot passengers did not need to share the vehicle ramp during stern-to-quay Mediterranean operations.
This was especially useful in the busy summer conditions of the Cyclades.
Four MTU Engines and Waterjets
Propulsion was provided by:
4 × MTU 16V 595 diesel engines.
Each originally produced approximately:
3,866 kW.
Power was transmitted through Reintjes gearboxes to:
4 × KaMeWa waterjets.
This installation gave the Auto Express 72 design an original published performance figure of:
40 knots.
Greek Career
HIGHSPEED 3 entered service during the summer of:
2000.
Her original operator was:
Minoan Flying Dolphins.
The group subsequently evolved into:
Hellas Flying Dolphins
and later:
Hellenic Seaways.
Throughout this first Greek period the vessel became a familiar sight on fast Aegean services.
Rafina and the Cyclades
Among her earliest assignments were services from:
Rafina
toward:
Tinos
and:
Mykonos.
The ship subsequently operated various Greek island routes during her decade in the domestic high-speed ferry fleet.
Piraeus Connection
HIGHSPEED 3 also had a strong connection with:
Piraeus.
The vessel was repeatedly photographed in the port during her Hellenic Seaways period, including documented visits in:
2005
and:
2009.
This means that IMO 9216171 had a Piraeus history long before the later MOROCCO EXPRESS 1 entry appeared in the PiraeuShips archive.
Sold to Morocco
In:
February 2010
HIGHSPEED 3 was sold to Moroccan ferry company:
Comarit.
The ship left the Greek fleet and in:
April 2010
was renamed:
BORAQ.
From May she began operating on the short international route:
Tanger Ville – Tarifa.
BORAQ
The name:
BORAQ
would remain on the vessel for approximately thirteen years.
The ferry's new route across the Strait of Gibraltar was particularly well suited to her original design.
The crossing is short, highly competitive and dependent on rapid passenger and vehicle turnaround — precisely the environment for which a high-speed Austal catamaran was designed.
Collapse of Comarit
The Moroccan chapter was interrupted dramatically when:
Comarit collapsed in 2012.
BORAQ was laid up at:
Tarifa.
Instead of being sold immediately or scrapped, the vessel remained inactive for several years.
Return to Service with Inter Shipping
In:
2016
BORAQ was acquired by:
Inter Shipping SARL.
The vessel subsequently returned to commercial service in the Strait of Gibraltar.
She continued operating between Morocco and Spain under the BORAQ identity until:
2023.
An Unexpected Return to Greece
One of the most remarkable developments in the vessel's career occurred in:
2023.
BORAQ was offered through a public auction at:
Algeciras, Spain.
The winning bidder was:
Hellenic Seaways,
the same Greek company with which the vessel had been associated before her 2010 sale.
Attica Group officially announced the acquisition on:
31 October 2023.
The purchase price was:
€2.41 million.
BORAQ → HIGHSPEED 3 Again
Following the acquisition, the ship was registered once again under:
the Greek flag
and reverted to her historic name:
HIGHSPEED 3.
The name sequence therefore became:
HIGHSPEED 3 → BORAQ → HIGHSPEED 3
— a rare example of a ferry returning not only to its former owner group and country but also to its original identity.
Refurbishment in Greece
Attica Group announced that the vessel would undergo:
engineering
and:
hotel-facility upgrades
to bring her back to the company's operating standards.
At that point, the intention appeared to be to use HIGHSPEED 3 within the Attica fleet.
The company officially listed:
72 m length
17.5 m beam
2.6 m draught
and:
34 knots maximum speed.
Plans Change
The anticipated return to regular Greek island service never materialised.
By:
March 2024
HIGHSPEED 3 was being painted in the colours of:
Africa Morocco Link – AML.
Instead of returning permanently to the Cyclades, the catamaran was prepared to go back to the same geographic market where she had spent most of the previous decade.
HIGHSPEED 3 → MOROCCO EXPRESS 1
In 2024, the vessel adopted a new identity:
MOROCCO EXPRESS 1.
She returned to the:
Tanger Ville – Tarifa
route, entering commercial service there during June 2024.
Attica Sells Its Moroccan Operation
At the same time, Attica Group was exiting its Moroccan ferry investment.
On:
10 July 2024
Attica announced completion of the sale of its:
49% interest in Africa Morocco Link
together with:
MOROCCO STAR
and:
MOROCCO EXPRESS 1.
The overall transaction value was:
€49 million,
with Attica estimating a net profit of approximately:
€24 million.
Stena Line Enters Africa Morocco Link
The buyer was:
Stena Line Holding BV.
Stena acquired:
49% of Africa Morocco Link
while AML remained majority Moroccan owned.
Stena also acquired:
MOROCCO STAR
and:
MOROCCO EXPRESS 1.
Stena's 2024 annual report states that the company would take responsibility for AML's day-to-day operation.
Cyprus Flag
Following the 2024 sale, MOROCCO EXPRESS 1 transferred from:
the Greek flag
to:
Cyprus.
Her current port of registry is:
Limassol.
Current radio identity is:
MMSI 210836000
Call Sign 5BNC6.
Current Gross Tonnage
The old PiraeuShips entry recorded:
2,377 GT.
Current maritime databases instead publish:
2,926 GT.
Because of this source discrepancy, the updated profile should preferably use the current registered figure while retaining the old PiraeuShips number as a historical reference rather than silently replacing it.
Current Route
MOROCCO EXPRESS 1 now operates the international ferry connection:
Tarifa, Spain ↔ Tanger Ville, Morocco.
Current AML booking records and AIS information continue to show the vessel actively working this route.
Still Active in 2026
MOROCCO EXPRESS 1 remains fully active in:
2026.
Recent AIS data continues to record multiple daily Strait of Gibraltar crossings.
The 26-year-old vessel therefore remains commercially productive in exactly the type of short, high-frequency route for which her original Austal design is particularly well suited.
A Remarkable Round Trip
The ship's career can be summarised through four very different chapters:
2000–2010 – HIGHSPEED 3 / Greek Aegean service
2010–2023 – BORAQ / Morocco–Spain operations
2023–2024 – HIGHSPEED 3 / brief return to Greek ownership and flag
Few modern high-speed ferries have effectively completed such a geographical and corporate circle.
PiraeuShips Connection
The vessel has an unusually strong PiraeuShips connection because her story is tied to Piraeus in more than one period.
As HIGHSPEED 3 she was already a familiar Greek high-speed ferry during the 2000s.
She then returned to Greek ownership and registry in 2023 before being transformed into MOROCCO EXPRESS 1.
PiraeuShips published its dedicated:
MOROCCO EXPRESS I – IMO 9216171
entry in July 2024.
The page therefore captures a particularly brief transitional moment: the ship had just changed from HIGHSPEED 3 to MOROCCO EXPRESS 1, while the old database information still showed the Greek flag.
PiraeuShips Record
MOROCCO EXPRESS 1 was recorded by PiraeuShips during one of the most unusual identity changes in the career of a former Greek high-speed ferry. Built by Austal in Australia in 2000 as HIGHSPEED 3, the 72-metre catamaran originally carried 620 passengers and 70 cars on Aegean services for Minoan Flying Dolphins, Hellas Flying Dolphins and Hellenic Seaways. Sold to Morocco in 2010 and renamed BORAQ, she later survived the collapse of Comarit, returned to service with Inter Shipping and remarkably came back into Hellenic Seaways ownership through a €2.41-million public auction in 2023, once again becoming HIGHSPEED 3. The Greek comeback was short-lived: in 2024 she was renamed MOROCCO EXPRESS 1, returned to the Tarifa–Tanger Ville route and was sold together with Attica Group's AML interest to Stena Line. Now Cyprus flagged and still fully active in 2026, the vessel has effectively completed a remarkable round trip between Greek and Moroccan ferry service, making the PiraeuShips footage an especially valuable record of her brief second Greek chapter and transition into her current identity.
ex BLUE POWER / ALMOTTAHEDAH 1 / TT-DELPHIN / DELPHIN
POWER JET is a Cyprus-flagged high-speed passenger and vehicle catamaran built by Austal Ships at Fremantle, Australia, in 1996 and operated by Greek high-speed ferry company Seajets.
The vessel began her career in Northern Europe as DELPHIN, later becoming TT-DELPHIN, before spending more than a decade in the Red Sea as ALMOTTAHEDAH 1.
Acquired by Seajets in 2017, she briefly carried the name BLUE POWER before becoming POWER JET in 2018.
With four MTU main engines, waterjet propulsion and an original service speed close to 38 knots, the 82-metre vessel became a familiar sight on high-speed Aegean routes.
As of autumn 2026, POWER JET remains part of the Seajets fleet but is currently reported laid up after her most recent active seasons.

Built as DELPHIN
The vessel was constructed as:
DELPHIN
for German ferry company:
TT-Line.
She was the first of a group of large Austal Auto Express catamarans that demonstrated how high-speed aluminium technology could be applied to substantial passenger-and-vehicle ferry services.
After delivery in Australia, the catamaran sailed to Europe and entered service in:
May 1996.
Baltic Career
DELPHIN initially operated between:
Rostock
and:
Trelleborg.
This was a very different environment from the Aegean in which the ship would later become familiar.
Her high speed offered TT-Line a fast alternative to conventional Baltic ferries.
DELPHIN → TT-DELPHIN
In:
2002
the vessel was renamed:
TT-DELPHIN.
She continued operating for TT-Line until the end of her northern European career.
By the end of 2004 she had been withdrawn and offered for sale.
Red Sea Chapter
In 2005, the catamaran left European service and was renamed:
ALMOTTAHEDAH 1.
She subsequently operated in the:
Red Sea
under Middle Eastern ownership.
The vessel was employed on routes involving Egypt and Saudi Arabia before eventually being laid up for several years because of difficulties affecting her operator.
Acquired by Seajets
The vessel's career was revived in:
2017,
when she was acquired by Greek high-speed specialist:
Seajets.
She initially received the temporary name:
BLUE POWER.
The catamaran was brought to Greece and underwent extensive work at Greek repair facilities including Elefsis, Salamis and Chalkida before returning to commercial operation.
BLUE POWER → POWER JET
In:
2018
the ship became:
POWER JET.
Her complete principal identity history is:
DELPHIN → TT-DELPHIN → ALMOTTAHEDAH 1 → BLUE POWER → POWER JET.
Return to Service in Greece
POWER JET finally entered regular Seajets passenger service in:
2020.
Her early Greek programmes included:
Heraklion – Santorini – Naxos – Paros – Mykonos
and other Cyclades connections.
The catamaran subsequently appeared on several seasonal routes according to Seajets' fleet requirements.
1,200 Passengers and 150 Cars
Seajets currently publishes capacity for:
1,200 passengers
and:
150 vehicles.
Maximum speed is listed as:
38 knots.
Older ferry databases sometimes give lower passenger figures such as 600 or 800 passengers, reflecting earlier certified configurations of the same vessel.
For the updated PiraeuShips profile, the current Seajets figures are the most appropriate commercial specification.
Piraeus – Rethymno
One of POWER JET's most interesting later Greek assignments involved:
Piraeus – Milos – Rethymno.
Seajets promoted the route with a Piraeus-to-Rethymno journey time of approximately:
5 hours 45 minutes.
The Greek Coast Guard's 2025–2026 route declarations also included POWER JET on:
Piraeus – Chania – Rethymno.
Piraeus Connection
POWER JET has been repeatedly documented at:
Piraeus.
PiraeuShips published the dedicated:
POWER JET – IMO 9127576
entry in:
November 2020.
The vessel has continued to return to the port throughout her Seajets career, including documented appearances in 2023 and 2025.
Current Situation in 2026
POWER JET remains listed on Seajets' official fleet page.
However, specialist ferry sources currently describe the ship as:
laid up in Salamina.
AIS records also show very limited movement during 2026. Her last clearly recorded Piraeus movement was in April, while a later AIS signal in July showed the vessel stationary in the Piraeus area.
The safest current description is therefore:
still part of the Seajets fleet, but not presently in regular active service.
Thirty Years Old
POWER JET reached:
30 years since construction in 2026.
The vessel has already completed very different operating careers in:
the Baltic,
the Red Sea,
and the Aegean.
Her continued retention by Seajets demonstrates the longevity of the large Austal aluminium catamaran design.
PiraeuShips Record
POWER JET was recorded by PiraeuShips during the beginning of the vessel's active Greek career with Seajets. Built by Austal at Fremantle in 1996 as DELPHIN, the high-speed catamaran initially served TT-Line in the Baltic before becoming TT-DELPHIN and later spending more than a decade in the Red Sea as ALMOTTAHEDAH 1. Acquired by Seajets in 2017, she briefly became BLUE POWER before entering Greek passenger service as POWER JET. Powered by four MTU engines and capable of approximately 38 knots, the vessel subsequently operated several Cyclades and Crete routes from Piraeus and Heraklion. In 2026 POWER JET remains listed in the Seajets fleet but is currently reported laid up, making the PiraeuShips footage a record of her active Aegean operating period.
