America’s Cup Sailing Experience on San Francisco Bay
Enjoy a 2.5-hour hands-on sailing experience for two aboard the famous America’s Cup challenger USA76 all-carbon racing yacht for an exhilarating sail across the San Francisco waterfront and under the Golden Gate Bridge. Feel the history, thrill and excitement of the oldest trophy in international sports and experience it on the yacht that Oracle Team USA raced to challenge the 31st America’s Cup in 2003! Be the skipper as you take your turn at the helm of this high speed yacht. Help with the ‘hoist’. Take your turn as a ‘grinder’ on the big sail trim controls affectionately known as coffee grinders. Or if you prefer, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Sailings are most Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, valid April through October. Schedule is subject to change. Not available during special events.
