My family and I just returned from a week long vacation in San Diego and this was above and beyond the best activity we did. The customer service was outstanding. Captain Lynn and his crew were fantastic. His assistant took around 300 pictures throughout our trip and provided us with a link to see them all online. They provide snacks,... More

My daughter and I recently returned from a great trip to San Diego. Hands down for both of us, the highlight of our trip was sailing on Stars and Stripes USA-11. Having done many excursions of this type (including 2 other AC Boats) in a variety of locations, by far this experience was the best one I've ever had! Captain... More

This isn't your basic sit back and relax sail boat tour. You have the chance to be a part of the crew on an American Cup winning boat. It's a blast! The weather for our sail was perfect and the crew was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great experience all around. If you're looking for a unique experience... More

It was a great day with the Star and Stripes. We highly recommend this 3 hour trip. The crew was outstanding and the weather was perfect. We could not ask for a better day.

Just got back from San Diego.....highlight of the trip was sailing on Sunday June 2,2013. Captain and crew were fantastic and full of information about San Diego. Sailing around the harbor with the wind in your hair while steering the boat....priceless. Thank you for the unforgettable experience.

We started with a short chat at their offices, and then we boarded the yacht. Bring white soled trainers if you have them, but if you don't, no worries, they have covers for your trainers which are surprisingly comfortable and have loads of grip. You can sit back and relax if you want, but if you want to get involved... More

Excellent service, excellent price, excellent sailing experience! The captain and his crew were knowledgable and friendly. The captain will let you be a part of the crew or steer the ship. If you are planning a trip to San Diego, don't forget to sail with this company!

We went very fast on a sunny day in San Diego. Perfect! And when it started getting a little chilly they offered us warm beverages. So good. Would certainly go again!

This sailing trip came highly recommended by a friend of mine, and we were not disappointed! We were able to be an active part of the crew if we wanted, or just sit, relax and enjoy the views. The sailing weather was perfect-windy enough for a fast sail around San Diego Bay and under Coronado Bridge. Thank you Captain Lynn... More
