12 Metre America's Cup Regatta

Imagine yourself sailing the warm blue waters and brisk trade winds of the Caribbean on a America's Cup 12 Metre yacht. Dennis Conner's America's Cup winning Stars & Stripes and True North IV are yours for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Your expert crew will show you exactly what to do in your crew members' position. Then its off to the race course… grind a winch… trim a sail… punch a stop watch or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the complimentary refreshments. For this unique adventure no previous sailing experience is necessary. After the race, enjoy the complimentary victory rum punch party, while you browse through the museum souvenir boutique. Note: Participants must be at least 12 years of age and 21 years of age to be served alcoholic beverages. This tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility. Guests should bring a credit card if you wish to purchase souvenirs.

Favorite Excursion
We just got off of the ship and couldn't wait to share. What an exciting adventure that you sure don't get to do every day. If you're unable to participate, you're assigned to be the cheerleader or time keeper. The crew makes you fell very welcome. There are some great photos to chose from in the store when you're done racing. We can't stop talking about it, because it was so much fun. Well organized too.

Wonderful time!
This excursion allowed you to participate as a crew member or just enjoy the trip. The captain explained what we were going to do and what each participants job would entail. Safety and fun were had by all. Our group ranged in age from early 20s to a spry 80 year old. Refreshments were provided during the sailing adventure between the 2 vessels.

sailing
This excursion was very exciting. I was a little apprehensive at first because there were quite alot of waves and we were bouncing around some before we got started. However, once we were sailing the ride was smooth and our Captain made many turns tipping the boat right and left. You really get the feel of how fast these boats can sail, much more than just watching on TV. I would highly recomment this excursion.

So Fun!!
This was easily one of the best Caribbean excursions we have been on (next to feeding the rays on Grand Cayman). The crew did an excellent job of explaining the history of the Americas' Cup yacht race, and amped up the fun by choosing passengers to "Captain" each boat. The captains chose fellow passengers as their crew, and then we were assigned jobs. The race was kept tight, probably by design, but it was fun, fun, fun! The bonus was an enormous school of dolphins that joined us on the way back to meet the tender. They stayed with us for at least 20 minutes. This is a fairly active excursion, and a great change of pace. Plenty of time to go to the beach later.

The Real Deal
This was so much better than I had hoped. As a sailor, I feared this would be lame, but it was anything but. We were hands on and involved in racing the Stars and Stripes against True North. (My boat won both races!) The crew were totally competent and professional and let us take turns at the helm after the races. Those on board with no sailing experience had just as much fun. They were taught a job and had as much help and input as they needed to be part of the crew. Don't miss this!!!
