Why watch from the shore when you can experience the thrill of sailing on a first class, multi-million dollar, technically-advanced International America’s Cup Class yacht? Join us for an exhilarating 2 ˝ hour adventure on board the same Stars & Stripes yacht used by Dennis Conner in the defense series of the 1992 America’s Cup held right here in San Diego. Take the helm, grind the winches, or just hang on as we zip around San Diego Bay. The 115 foot mast makes her fast and the 40,000 pound bulb keel 13 feet down makes her smooth (no seasick pills required). At 78 feet in length, a width of 17 feet, and only 6 passengers, there’s no crowding and plenty of activities to keep you busy. At $100 per person, it’s by far the best value on the water front.

Private charters and team building events for groups of 6 to 12 available upon request.
