A Must Do!!

We had an amazing time sailing aboard the America's Cup - 12 Meter yacht! The captain and his crew were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish, making the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. One of the highlights was seeing dolphins in the wild, which made the trip even more memorable. We were also offered refreshments, which was a thoughtful touch and added to the overall experience. I especially loved getting the chance to ride the sailboat. We got to take some beautiful photos. This cruise was absolutely worth it, and I would definitely do it again. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water!

Highly recommend this...

Highly recommend this activity. We saw dolphins, sailed away with gentle breeze. Fun crew! It can get hot waiting to board as we started at 3 pm but once we got moving, it was pleasant

Could be great if there was was wind

Understand that the charter can’t control the wind but on windless days operator could do a bit more help or even just apologize for a one and a half hour trip in near windless conditions. Captain and crew were good. Just feel like the operator only watch for foul weather. This not a comfortable boat when the midday sun is brutal.

Great Family Adventure

Sailing an America’s Cup 12 meter is a rare opportunity. Stars & Stripes was significant to the USA recapturing the America Cup. Captain Pete is s legend and fun host allowing passengers to help raise sails and take the helm or just sit back and enjoy a beautiful sail. The crew of young ladies were welcoming, friendly, attentive and amazing at hoisting and trimming sails. A truly wonderful family experience.

Would go again for sure!

Trip was cut short due to weather, but otherwise was very good experience. The charter company did issue a partial refund due to lack of a full scheduled outing.

Wonderful family adventure.

A must when on Hilton Head Island. Captain Peter was a delight and eager to let guests experience the helm of this classic 12 meter. The crew of three capable young ladies were welcoming, friendly and amazing to watch as they raised and trimmed sails. You can enjoy a wonderful sail while relaxing or jump in to help crew. A great family event.
