Boats go to Paros, Naxos and Lesvos as well but less often... so call if you want to leave from Rafina but there is no reason to, if you are already in Athens with Piraeus so near!
OK there is one reason, if you are in a hurry, some Flying Dolphins leave from there that don't from Piraeus and they are quicker but you have to take a bus to get to them and they cost more.
