America's Cup Sailing Adventure on San Francisco Bay: America's Cup Day Sail
San Francisco, United States of America
USA 76 is a unique opportunity to participate in the sailing of an International America’s Cup Class yacht. Sail the official race course from the 2013 America's Cup. A thrilling 2.5 hour adventure on San Francisco Bay. Located at PIER 39.
USA 76 can accommodate up to 20 guests at a time. Participation is encouraged by helping with the hoist, taking your turn as a grinder on the powerful sail trim controls, and taking your turn at the helm of this high-speed yacht. Feel the adrenaline as the yacht powers up and we sail towards the Golden Gate Bridge. Public trips are conducted multiple days a week, year round, departing from PIER 39 in San Francisco.
USA 76 is an International America’s Cup Class racing yacht used by the ORACLE Racing team in their preparations to challenge for the 2003 America’s Cup held in Auckland, New Zealand. ORACLE would go through to the Louis Vuitton Challenger Series final and come up against the formidable Team Alinghi from Switzerland. Alinghi, ultimately won the Cup after an impressive performance.
If you love sailing this is for you. Sailed around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge, we were even lucky enough to see whales and dolphins! Must do especially during whale watching season.

What a blast! We got to see the bay from a previously unknown angle. We had never been on a sailboat before but the crew allowed us to adapt to the experience and slowly pulled us into it. During the 2 hour sail, we saw the entire bay including cruising past Alcatraz and sailing under the GG Bridge. We saw whales, sea lions, and dolphins. Everyone 20 people got to take turns at hoisting and moving the sails and driving the boat - you get a chance to experience what it must feel like to be on an America's Cup team while still knowing that if we do something boneheaded we're still safe, thanks to the expert crew. Thanks guys - we will be back!

Amazing trip! We had a fantastic time on the SF Bay with the very best crew onboard the USA76. We are a family of 4 kids are 5 and 9. They were very welcome abord and were supplied with lifevests and jackets. The weather was windy and gray, but it was still a great time, around Alcatraz, under Golden Gate and the SF harbour. We can recommend this trip BIG TIME. When we get to SF again, we are def looking these guys up again!

Fabulous - what a great way to spend a morning. The weather was superb and the sailing was excellent. Sailed across the Bay, passing Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge. Definitely recommend!

A once in a lifetime experience. The crew were all great and we all had the opportunity to get actively involved in the sail. Would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in sailing.

Despite Mother Nature's attempt to make the tour uncomfortable I had a great time. The crew was fantastic and extremely friendly. I would recommend this tour to sailors and land-lubbers alike.
