Anyone know why Sunsail have shut down all their Turkish clubs this year? (can't just be because I applied for a job!! )

Perhaps they haven't been as profitable as they might have hoped, so they're using the Global Financial Crisis™, Credit Crunch© or Convenient Catch All Excuse For Any Cutbacks® to shut em?

I was wondering if they had problems with licence renewal, or problems with Turkish authorities/regulations.

Seems Turkey has shot themselves in the foot over that...65% of something is better than 80% of nothing. Was there any negotiation with the Turkish authorities before the decision was taken? |

Sad mum you should try some of the other companies. We are going to Greece with Seafarer Holidays, one week beach club and one week flotilla. They were a lot cheaper than Sunsail and they still had availability. Perhaps less equipment and a different style to Sunsail. Anyone on here been to Seafarers base in Greece? |

Sad Mum, I too had difficulties getting thru but have now had a good outcome. While I was considering my options I looked into Sailing Holidays. They were very very helpful and I'm likely to consider them in the future. They have a week flotilla/one week villia with hire car from Lefkas and cefalonia see:- http://www.sailingholidays.com/route-detail.asp_Q_RouteID_E_ 7 Good luck Kevin |
