Seajets is the only operator from Mykonos to Amorgos, running high-speed boats to Katapola from April to October. The fastest trips take about 2 hours, but some sailings take a longer routing: on 12 August 2026 one took 4 hr 10 min. One adult cost €89.70 on Ferryhopper when we checked on 24 September 2026. Sailings run on 1 to 7 days a week depending on the month, with none in winter.

04Schedule by season
Ferryhopper lists Mykonos to Amorgos from April to October only, on 1 to 7 days a week. Its month-by-month table, which reflects last year's data, shows Seajets sailing from once a week in some months up to every day in others, with no data for the rest of the year. On 12 August 2026, the day we sampled, there were two departures from Mykonos: at 09:40 and 15:45. Outside April to October there is no direct boat, so winter trips need a change at Naxos or Paros, or a sailing from Piraeus.
The Journey
Mykonos to Amorgos takes you from the most glamorous island in the Cyclades to one of the most rugged. Amorgos is long, high and steep, with the white Hozoviotissa monastery wedged into its southern cliffs, a network of old footpaths linking its villages, and a slower rhythm that many visitors fall for. After the beach clubs of Mykonos, it can feel like a different country.
The direct link is run by Seajets alone, with high-speed boats that sail in the warmer months. It is the quickest way between the two islands, but it is not cheap: every fare in Ferryhopper's data was €89.70 per adult. There is no direct conventional ferry, so if price matters more than time, look at routes that change at Naxos or Paros.
Look closely at the timetable before you book. Some sailings take about two hours, while others follow a much longer routing: on our 12 August 2026 sample, the morning boat took 4 hr 10 min and the afternoon one 2 hr 5 min, for the same fare. Pick the one that gets you there when you want to arrive.
Amorgos has two ports, Katapola, the main one, and Aegiali in the north, and these boats go to Katapola. If you are staying in Aegiali, arrange a transfer across the island. Amorgos has no airport, so the ferry is the only way in.
Ferryhopper's schedule card shows a shortest trip of 2 hours from Mykonos to Katapola, and its monthly data for this direction, based on last year, shows 2 hr to 2 hr 5 min in every month with service. Its route summary gives 2 hr to 2 hr 50 min, the longer figure being the Katapola to Mykonos direction. Individual sailings can be slower: on our 12 August 2026 sample, the Super Jet 2 left Mykonos at 09:40 and did not reach Amorgos until 13:50, a trip of 4 hr 10 min, while the Super Jet took 2 hr 5 min. So allow anywhere from 2 hours to about 4 hr 10 min, and check the arrival time of your sailing.
05The ports
Departure port
JMK · 37.4467° N 25.3289° E
Boats leave from the new port at Tourlos, about 2.5 km north of Mykonos town and roughly 4 km from the airport, served by local buses and taxis. It is not the old harbour on the town waterfront, so check your transfer knows where to go. In July and August the road into Tourlos and the quay get very busy when several ships are due, so leave early.
Arrival port
AMO · 36.8333° N 25.8500° E
The Seajets boats from Mykonos arrive at Katapola, the main port of Amorgos, a short drive from Chora. Katapola is a pretty harbour village with places to stay, restaurants, cafés, tavernas, a few bars and a small beach, so it is a pleasant spot to land. If you are staying at Aegiali in the north, about 20 km away by road, or up in Chora, arrange a transfer or rental car in advance, especially for an evening arrival.
06On Board
Every sailing on this route is a Seajets high-speed boat, so expect an indoor, air-conditioned lounge with airline-style seats and a snack bar, and little or no time on deck. Business seats are available if you want more space, and Wi-Fi can usually be bought on board. There are no cabins. On one of the longer sailings, bring water, a snack and something to do. On windy days the ride can be lively, so take seasickness tablets beforehand if you are prone to it.
07Weather and cancellations
This is an open-sea crossing to the south-east through the heart of the Cyclades, and the meltemi, the strong northerly wind of July and August, can make it rough. As the route is served only by high-speed boats, it is more exposed than most to delays and cancellations, and the port authority can keep the boats in harbour when the sea is too high. If your sailing is cancelled, Seajets will rebook or refund the ticket. The fallback is a conventional ferry via Naxos, which copes better with wind, so keep that option in mind when the forecast is poor.
08Travel Tips
Compare arrival times: on our sample day the morning boat took 4 hr 10 min and the afternoon boat 2 hr 5 min, at the same €89.70 fare.
Check your ticket says Katapola; Amorgos also has a northern port at Aegiali.
On a budget or travelling in winter, route via Naxos, which has ferries to both islands.
Book your Amorgos room before the ferry in July and August; the island has limited accommodation.
Leave early for Tourlos port in summer; the port road gets congested.
09Alternatives
For the return trip, see our Amorgos to Mykonos page. Amorgos has no airport; Mykonos (JMK) and Naxos (JNX) do. If the direct boat does not run on your date or costs too much, go via Naxos, Paros or Koufonisia, which all have ferries from Mykonos and on to Amorgos. From Athens, Amorgos also has direct ferries from Piraeus.
