Stars the handsome, good-looking Robert F. Logan who sadly passed away in 2024. Logan's career went into a lull after a full season playing frontiersman Jericho Jones on Daniel Boone (1964), but resurfaced in the early 1970s as the adventurous hippy star of the popular "back to nature" family drama The Adventures of the Wilderness Family (1975), which was written and directed by Stewart Raffill. Bob also starred in two other adventure films with a similar family Rocky Mountain theme, Across the Great Divide (1976) and this The Sea Gypsies (1978), and showed up in two other "Wilderness" sequels as well -- The Further Adventures of the Wilderness Family (1978) and Adventures of the Wilderness Family 3 (1979). All four films involved writer/director Stewart Raffill.

The motion picture was professionally directed by Stewart Raffill . Stewart supports the conservation of wildlife and has filmed grizzly bears, lions, tigers, orangutans, wolves, jaguars, and snakes in many of his action films. He's an expert on adventure genre, such as: ¨Across the Great Divide¨ , ¨Sea Gypsies¨ and science fiction as ¨Ice pirates¨ , ¨Mc and Me¨ and ¨The Philadelphia Experiment¨at his best.

The Sea Gypsies(1978) belongs to a wonderful series , these are as follows : ¨The Adventures of the Wilderness Family¨ (1975) by Stewart Raffill, ¨Further adventures Robinson family (1977)¨ by Frank Zuñiga from the producers of the first part and turns out to be a predictable retread ; ¨Mountain of Robinson family (1979)¨ in which the family is determined to return to wilderness and moves to the Rockies . In similar style and also offering a pleasant scenery are : ¨Across the great divide (1976)¨ in which two orphans must cross the dangerous snow-covered Rocky mountain in order to claim their inheritance , being based on facts happened in 1876 . All films are mostly starred by Robert F. Logan , Susan Damante Shaw and usual appearance as secondary actor the likable George Buck Flowers and Heather Rattray and being produced by Joseph Raffill (father of Stewart Raffill who habitually results to be the filmmaker of the series) and also financed by producer Arthur Dobbs . This family-oriented tale about modern-day adventurers who head for life in nature will appeal to wilderness buffs .

This is a GREAT movie! Highly recommended for everyone. I saw this movie as a child and loved it then. Seeing it again, now as a father of two, more than twenty years later; it is STILL a wonderful movie! Today's world is full of harsh news, disrespect, and a hardened society. This is one of those movies that will take you back to a different time when people actually cared about life and each other! I don't understand hendersn75's awful review at all. I live in Alaska. If he knew what it was like to live here, let alone try to film in this environment, I think he would change his mind. I think the cinematography in this film, especially considering being a 70's film, is simply wonderful. This was all done entirely on location, unlike most films of today. If you see this movie and like it, then also check out "The Dove" 1974, a true story. Not as visually stimulating as "Sea Gypsies", but very interesting also.

This is the second of Robert Logan classic films who star in The Adventure of Wilderness family back in 1975. Robert Logan plays the role a farther who lost his wife and decide to take his girls around the on a ship. Along comes Nancy Kyes who's a reporter who wants to go along to write a story on this boat journey around the world. Heather Rattray stars in her role as Courtney Maclaine the daughter of the father. Heather after this goes on to star in Robert Logan other two films and Heather pick up a role on the Young an the Restless later on. As the journey begins they fine another person on the ship a little boy named Jesse (Cjon Damitri Patterson) who jumps on the boat as it's leaving the dock. The journey starts out smooth until dark comes and that's when start to go wrong. This is a great film that the whole family can sit and enjoy and I will give this movie 8 weasel stars based on the beauy of he Island.

The best way to describe this film would be that it has a first rate story, second rate acting and third rate production values. What do you expect from a late 70's film? You can line up "Rollercoaster" & "Scavenger hunt" along the edge as well-what you see is what you get.

This is a good story, it's just isn't executed very well. This would be a better movie if they have good production values-it just doesn't. I was never crazy about Robert Logan from "Wilderness Family" fame. Isn't any wonder why he isn't well known?

A family attempts a voyage around the world on a sail boat-that run into trouble-you guessed it-A storm and they are shipwrecked. Do I need say more?

I enjoy this movie on a rainy day when I want pass 1 hour & 40 minutes or so of time.

This is one of the best Stewart Rafill films. The plot and story are exciting and well written. The acting is well done, particularly the character played by Mikki Jamieson-Olsen. The location wilderness settings were beautifully photographed. An excellent and very memorable film.
