We booked six of us for the cruise and had a blast! The captain and crew were super friendly and very informative. Our kids (teenager and young adults) took turns steering the boat and helping with sails. We all had a great time! I would 10/10 recommend!

Fun to sail on an America’s Cup yacht. The Captain and 2 crew members were great, welcoming & friendly. The Captain was great about taking pictures for us tourists and making sure people got to man the helm if they wanted to. I would happily recommend and go again myself.

This was a major hi light of our trip to Hilton Head! Captain Peter and his crew, Luke and Taylor, were amazing! They were all so personable and so interested in ensuring our trip exceeded our expectations. It certainly did! I highly recommend this sail for anyone interested in getting a water view of the island.
