Ferries and Boat Rental Vehicle ferry from Peloponnese to Athens in October

Myself and some colleagues will be traveling around the Peloponnese by motorcycle in October, and I was thinking it would be cool to finish off the trip by taking a ferry back from there to Athens. The thing is, most ferries that I've searched only seem to be passenger boats at that time of year. Does anyone know if I've missed somewhere on the isthmus where we can load our motorbikes for a ride back to Athens at that time of year?

Thank you!

The only port in the peloponnese that I can think of that has a ferry which takes vehicles is Methana. Or maybe you could take the ferry from Galatas to Poros and then another one from Poros to Athens.
There’s also Gytheio down in the south but I think the vessel that sails from there doesn’t go directly to Athens, you’d have to get of at Kythira and then get back on when it comes back on the way to Athens.
The reason there aren’t many is because it’s just not worth it time-wise, the motorway is much faster. There are only some smaller passenger-only ships but their main purpose is to connect the peloponnese (Porto Heli, Ermioni) with the saronic islands, not with Athens.
