Southern Ocean Company started as a delivery and yacht management operation in 2009. A year later SOC acquired the ocean going vessel Swan 51 Eira.
In 2016 was the start of the SOC Sailing Academy, which offers sail training with a practical approach. With clients from all over the world, we have developed a sense of understanding what works and have a good view in to peoples demands for sail training.
Every year we offer a variety of sailing experiences. It can be a relaxing vacation in the sun, a transatlantic sailing voyage or a full out sail racing event. You can join us as an individual or as a group. If you like adventures at sea, meeting people and being in tune with nature this is probably something for you!
Twice a year we cross the Atlantic. in 2024 and 2025 we are participating in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, commonly known as the ARC. This is our sixth and seventh time around and we are really looking forward to get use of all our knowledge and new kit on the boat.
The years 2024 and 2025 bring about lots of racing like the Rolex Fastnet Race and the necessary qualifying race, the Caribbean 600. Together they present a delicate taste of top notch sailing. 2025 is also “an ARC year" with a race across the pond to the Caribbean.
Our Sailing Academy is up and running and every year we offer an sail training event in the Canaries in November.
We also offer several models for companies to choose from, depending on their appetite for evolving through adventure or more sophisticated programs.
In winter we also offer cruising in the Caribbean and during summer months in Southern Europe.

“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.
