Awesome experience on the boat with Captain Peter and the whole crew. Weather was on our side and everyone had a blast. Thank you!!

The opportunity to sail on a true America's Cup racing yacht was amazing! The wind, the crew and fellow sailors were all great. Just so you know, this is not a sitting cruise (which makes it fun) and bring a warm coat, hat and gloves even if you don't think you will need them. I had a wonderful time and hope to return someday.

My daughter got me this trip as a 60th birthday present. It was my highlight of a 2 week visit to California. I sail small boats but this even at 20 yrs old this yacht was just incredible by comparison. A number of us took turns at the helm and I got to take her through a tack. Even with a cut-down jib the acceleration is amazing. I spent most of the trip at the mast, helping to tail the jib through the tacks and chatting with the crew about the features of the boat and how all the gear works. Pete and the crew did a great job of involving most of the guests in the sailing manoeuvres. Definitely the best way to see the sights of the bay including the course area for the previous AC and current Sail GP series races.
