Our Story
Southern Cross is a small, passionate charter operation with one mission: to give you the most authentic Greek sailing experience possible. With a single, meticulously maintained monohull and two carefully chosen bases, we focus entirely on the quality of your journey rather than the size of our fleet.
“Southern Cross” is a name that comes from the stars, specifically the constellation sailors have used for generations to find their way across open water. To us, it’s about more than navigation though. It represents that feeling of heading out into the unknown, chasing new experiences, and trusting the journey. We chose it because it captures what being on the water is really about: freedom, adventure, and those moments that stay with you long after you’re back on shore.
Whether you're an experienced sailor looking to bareboat or a first-timer seeking a skippered adventure, we tailor every charter around you.
Take the helm yourself. Full freedom, your itinerary, your pace.
An experienced skipper on board — you relax, we navigate.
We offer customised one-day experiences — sunrise sails, sunset cruises, private island-hopping or a full day at sea. Tailored entirely to your group.
Tell us your dream route and we'll make it happen.
The Fleet
Our monohull is kept to the highest standard of safety and comfort. Spacious, seaworthy, and fully equipped for cruising the Greek islands in style.
Add a professional stewardess to your charter for a truly elevated experience — service, meals, and care on board, fully tailored to your group.
Enhance your day with our optional extras: on-board photography, underwater photography, drone photography, paddleboard, snorkelling sets, fishing gear, and a curated music setup.
Every charter includes our full welcome pack: bath towels, beach towels, bed sheets, pillowcases, and a selection of on-board essentials — so you can arrive and sail without any packing stress.
