Footsteps of Paul by Land and Sea Tours

Tropical Sails Corp offers historical journeys with unique fellowship only a yachting cruise can provide.

 Sultan A  We arrange many pilgrimages to places where Christianity first spread - for example we travel with St Paul to Turkey and to Greece, where the peoples of the Classical world first accepted the Christian Gospel. The seven churches of the apocalypse were located in western Turkey.

These tours are available on an individual basis, please email us and we will send you the dates and confirm prices.

 Turkish Ruins  

For church and other groups, we will help you plan and market your journey of a lifetime visiting ancient Christian sites. We cannot begin to describe the fellowship experience of a week on a wooden gulet with 10 to 14 of your church members. Our yachts have between four and eight cabins, so we can fit your group comfortably aboard. You will eat around one big table and be fed fantastic food. It is all healthy and you cannot gain weight. If there are multiple yachts, we will tie up in the evenings for fellowship.

We have made arrangements with a long haul gulet company that can take groups of up to 36 on Greek routes and up to 42 in Turkish waters seeing the sites that Paul saw.

 Ephesus We can combine land and sea options especially for you. In the following pages are some suggestions that are flexible for groups. If you are by yourself, we have weekly departures on most tours and daily on some.

Feel free to give us a call or write us and we will help make your venture possible. Our Vice-President has extensive travel experience in the Middle East, should you decide to expand beyond Turkey. We can combine a Turkey & Greece tour too.

 Pergamun We look forward to hearing from you.

Three very special new Footsteps of Paul tours with a sailing cruise.  Most Footsteps of Paul Tours spend upwards of 15 days on a sticking bus. There tours cut that in half and one down to just three days. St. Paul sailed these waters three times, so why do want a bus tour?  Our fleet of wooden yachts will give you Paul's experience except with modern amenities. These tours are for groups and have most if not all of the extras included. Pricing is an estimate due to client requirements.
