What clients say about Southern Cross Ships Chandlery in Pensacola (FL)
Extremely helpful!! Make sure to support this business at all cost!! So much stuff at his place for anything boat and if he doesn't have it he will help you find what your looking for!
I am in Guatemala and needing a Yanmar exhaust manifold. I left a message for Mike who called me back asking for specifics. Great service Mike! I was feeling pretty alone down here till I heard Mikes friendly voice.
An amazing place to just walk through! It is like a museum of marine history. He even has an anchor off the last Presidential yacht. He can also order new parts for your project.
I don’t think it would be a far stretch to say that this place has the Coolest, Largest and most Unique selection of nautical antiques out of every shop in town! The owner is super friendly and more than happy to show you around and sell a thing or 2! There are some really cool, very unique pieces in there and the visit might just be an experience in itself!
Didn’t need anything, was just gonna spend some time messing about in old boat stuff. Ended up buying two things that I really needed for the boat but didn’t want to spend the big bucks WM wanted for new parts. Got good parts for a good price.
Although I have no boat knowledge, this place is super cool for any interior design peeps or anyone looking for unique statement pieces for their home/office space! Picked up this beautiful map of FL!
Mike, the owner, was excellent. He took the time to look through his inventory with me, and he credited me toward another item when a previous purchase turned out not to work right (he didn’t need to do this, per the purchase/sale terms). Very knowledgeable and great customer service. Huge inventory, too.
Great treasures to hunt for your boat and super cool vintage marinara decor. Mike is super knowledgeable. He loves to answer all of your questions. A place for anyone to check out that likes cool interesting stuff and good pricing for boat supplies.
Very friendly, knowledgeable. A vast array of used boat parts. If you're looking for old rigging parts this is the place to go. Great place to browse, he's got a few buildings FULL of different stuff. Wood, chain, fittings, running gear. Well worth the time to stop and see what he has.
The owner, Mike, was very helpful and accommodating. He provided additional pictures and description when I asked. Thank you very much. I look forward to visiting the shop. It looks like a treasure trove!
The owner is the worst sales man EVER. LOL. He was honest and straight forward and had a lot of knowledge which he shared with me freely. He gave me alot of information and sent me on my way to think about it. He did not try to sell me anything that would not work for me. Which Is surprising and nice in this day and age.If you need rope chain,anchors, dinghys hardware or parts for your electronics he has it.
Wonderful collection of nautical needs not found at retail stores. Owned and operated by a couple who love what they do or are amazing at acting like they do.
Myself personally and my business have been purchasing items from Southern Cross for a couple years now. Mike has been exceptional. If he doesn't have it he usually knows where to find it. His knowledge of marine parts is phenomenal. We will absolutely continue to do business with him in the future.
AWESOME! Mike has just about anything nautical you are looking for at a fraction of the normal price. Everything is organized and is easy to locate. He also has a wealth of knowledge /experience about anything boat related. It's rare to meet a business owner who still loves what they do after years in business...it shows! Definitely will be back!! Cant wait.
It's always a pleasure doing business at Southern Cross. The proprietor's name is Mike who is extremely knowledgable and experienced in the marine business.
Awesome ! Great people and very reasonable prices . I will continue doing business there ! Good place to start looking for those hard to find items , because they are likely to have it and if not can point you in the right direction !!
This place is sailing without water. You can find things to repair or maintain the older vessel in your life. You can find things to customize a newer boat. You can meet up with old friends and make new ones. And prices are very reasonable and cost effective. On top of that Mike is a wealth of boating experience as are many of the folks you see there. I think you'll like it and believe you'll love it.
My husband and I were repairing our boat after Hurricane Michael so as you could imagine we needed a lot of supplies and Southern Cross had everything we needed and what they didn't have there in stock they were able to get for us and in some cases the very same day. They worked with us when we bought the wrong size parts and helped us when we had questions about things we were a little less knowledgeable on. If you need a Chandlery in the panhandle this is your place!
Five stars for what they are but be aware that they carry very few new items, although if you want something they don't have they do offer to get whatever you are looking for in short order. Friendliest folks in the business and a huge selection of used items from heads to thru hulls, railing to rudders. I will return when I am looking for lightly used boat parts.
Mike and Jane are super helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to be around. Have made several visits and purchases. Just a cool shop with lots of stuff old and new. A must stop for budget minded boat owners.
This over stocked chandlery has old and new boat stuff in every nook and cranny. It's a very interesting and fun search place. You will find parts and pieces you'll be surprised still exist.
