Our Story

Born from a Love
of the Open Sea

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.

Bareboat Charter

Take the helm yourself. Full freedom, your itinerary, your pace.

Skippered Charter

An experienced skipper on board — you relax, we navigate.

One-Day Experiences

We offer customised one-day experiences — sunrise sails, sunset cruises, private island-hopping or a full day at sea. Tailored entirely to your group.

Custom Itineraries

Tell us your dream route and we'll make it happen.
