Southern Ocean Company began in 2009 as a yacht delivery and management operation. In 2010, we acquired the ocean-going Swan 51 Eira.
In 2016, we launched the SOC Sailing Academy, offering practical, hands-on sail training to clients from around the world. Over the years, this has given us a strong understanding of what works and what sailors are looking for.
We offer a range of sailing experiences, from relaxed cruising, transatlantic passages to high-level racing. You can join as an individual or as a group — whether your goal is adventure, learning, racing or simply experiencing life at sea.
We cross the Atlantic twice a year, and in 2026 and 2027 we are taking part in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC), our seventh and eighth participation. The coming years also feature some of the world's finest offshore and yacht racing, including the Rolex Fastnet Race, Caribbean 600 and Rolex Swan Cup in Porto Cervo.
Our Sailing Academy continues to offer annual sail-training programmes in the Canary Islands and, on request, in the Caribbean.
For companies we offer tailored programmes.
During winter we cruise in the Caribbean, while summer takes us to European waters. We also offer trips through the Finnish Archipelago aboard the Bavaria 50 Branwyn — the perfect sailing playground for anyone looking to get off the beaten track.

If you are cruising the Baltic and don't want to sail back the same season but continue for another summer we offer winter storage and maintenance packages. Enjoy the unique Finnish craftsmanship and do all necessary upgrades during haul-out.

“Kiitos upeasta purjehduksesta. Vene on mielettömän hieno, miehistö on taitava ja he ovat sosiaalisesti rentoja ja kivoja tyyppejä. Itse purjehdukseen sai osallistua omien taitojensa ja innostuksensa mukaisesti – myös neuvoja sai, jos osoitti niitä kaipaavan”. -Ira K.
Dokk is reselling Eira and our customers have nothing but praise for both the boat but in particular for the customer service and ambiance created by skipper Sebastian and the rest of the crew. Highly recommended. -Håkan M.
”Ten out of ten” -Tony C.
