This morning you will self-drive to take the helm, grind the winches, or just hang on and enjoy the scenery on a thrilling sunset sail on authentic America's Cup yacht. This is an unforgettable 2.5-hour private sailing excursion aboard a true America's Cup class racing yacht!
Dress warmly as temperatures over the water will be cooler than over land. Sun protection, additional snacks and deck friendly shoes are recommended. A heavy overcoat will be offered along with water and light snacks.
On arrival, you'll check in and meet your captain and crew. Next, hop aboard and settle in as your captain goes over the introduction to the vessel and explanation of its history. The 84-foot (25.6 meters) long vessel was designed by the famed master craftsman Bruce Farr, given special features that enable it to be agile through different ocean conditions.
Observe, learn, or manually assist the crew with managing and manipulating the vessel's steering mechanisms to take advantage of the passing winds. Move stealthily over the blue Pacific waters as you feel the breeze in your hair and the horizon beckon you towards adventure.
Admire the Bay as you explore the coastal features of the Bay, while enjoying the conversation with your fellow crew on this hands-on adventure.
