Enjoy a 2 1/2 hour cruise on San Diego Bay with the famous "Stars & Stripes!" It is arguably the most widely-recognized name among all American sailing vessels. Team Dennis Conner's original Stars & Stripes went to Australia in 1987 and won back the America's Cup in Fremantle, defeating the Aussies'Kookaburra III. Stars & Stripes / USA 34 rose to notoriety by winning the Citizen Cup in 1995, earning the right to defend the Cup on behalf of the San Diego Yacht Club.

Come and spend 2 1/2 hours on the Abracadabra! Enjoy fantastic views of San Diego from this unique vantage point. Built in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1999, Abracadabra / USA 54 was designed by Australian, Ian Burns. The yacht was raced in the 2000 America's Cup in Auckland New Zealand, by John Kolius' Aloha Racing, operating out of the Waikiki Yacht Club. While not nearly as famous as Stars & Stripes / USA 34, Abracadabra is more technologically advanced and the faster of the two boats.

The famous 139 Ft yacht “America” (the America’s Cup is named after this yacht) also conducts seasonal trips to the ocean for Whale Watching. Carrying up to 69 guests this 4 hour trip is both a special sailing experience and marine wildlife treat. Most guests just go along for that ‘once in a lifetime’ chance to sail on this famous yacht….but the Whale Watching is an excellent bonus. The deep keel and low center of gravity eliminates any motion sickness. This is a very special ‘picnic on the ocean’. Guests are encouraged to BYO picnic lunch, cheese, wine, beer, etc. for a very personal & memorable experience.
