Southern Cross Surfing Boat Nias Mentawai

The addition of Southern Cross to our fleet back in 2002 was a bit unexpected and unplanned. Scuzz’s initial feeling at the time was that our two other vessels would be enough to meet consumer demand and allow for our ongoing exploration to the regions in Northern Sumatra. However, Om and his son Yandi, with the help of a few friends, had already begun construction on a new hull utilizing the knowledge they had gained from the previous boats and our many trips in the past. After seeing the hull was already built and the family was putting all their effort into it, Scuzz was inspired and decided to join in. From the hull, the Southern Cross was built from the ground up with the specs and style we wanted for surf travel. The designed has proved extremely effective, as Southern Cross has logged in more nautical miles than almost any boat in these islands over the past several years, particularly to Northern Sumatran, and has truly become an icon in these waters.

 At 78 feet, Southern Cross is quite wide and roomy, which allows for lot of extra elbowroom when cruising about the decks, salon, sleeping quarters, and eating areas. At the lowest level of the boat, you’ll find our spacious sleeping area that houses eight comfortable bunks for our guests. There are large individual storage areas next to each bunk, which are great for stowing your clothes, books, camera equipment and some of your more delicate items. Each bunk is curtained for privacy, with it’s own nightlight so you can keep reading even if everyone else is crashed out. In addition to the individual storage compartments, there are additional large storage units at both the front and rear of the sleeping quarters, which are good for stowing away larger and more durable items like your surf gear. The cabin also contains our TV, VCR, and DVD. It’s a great place to crank up the air conditioning after a long day of surfing and pop on a video, or hook the camcorder up to the TV and watch the day’s footage. In addition to the eight bunks downstairs, there are two individual private cabins upstairs. One of these cabins belongs to Scuzz, and he recently knocked down one of the walls to make his room a special “deluxe cabin”. Both rooms are great for a little extra privacy, and Scuzz has been known to offer up his larger cabin as a love nest for special couples wanting to stay together.
