Seascape Sailing Trips
 
Has anyone sailed in Greece through this company? I'm also curious to learn if anyone had taken one of the GPSC flotilla trips. Thanks.

Run a search on the cruise site, as a few people there have taken GPSC trips. Also post your question there.<BR><BR>Also try cruisecritic.com for reviews of charter companies.

<BR>We chartered from GPSC several years ago and sailed the Greek Islands along Turkey from Samos to Rhodes.<BR><BR>It was a 50 foot sailboat we called &quot;The Tub&quot; as that is what it was. It was sea worthy, but had definately seen better days. <BR>We chartered a 44' Beneteau the year after that and did the Turkish coast. That boat was MUCH better. I think it was thru Sun Sail.<BR><BR>Not to dismiss GPSC, we did charter a catamaran thru them 2 years ago in Belize and it was quite nice.<BR><BR>Are you hiring a captain, or will you sail yourselves? We found the sailing quite easy - the area is not tidal. <BR><BR>It was a fabulous trip. Many wonderful memories.

My son in law took a sailing trip to Turkey with a company from california that mostly does white water rafting and camping trips in the US but also has this trip to Turkey in the fall. I don't recall the name of the company but maybe some body will know.

Seascapes puts groups of 8 people -- they put together the groups -- on a boat and there is a captain. The GPSC flotilla trips look like a similar set up though it's not a 100 percent clear from the Web site. Asides from these two companies, I haven't been able to find any similar types of sailing trips in Greece.
