  Most passengers do not experience seasickness. The USA 76 is a stable yacht, designed for cutting through waves rather than riding up and over them.
2. Is there a restroom on board?

3. What if there is no wind?
  In the unlikely event of no wind in the San Francisco Bay, you will reschedule directly with your Captain.
4. Will I get wet?
  This is a hands-on sailing experience, and there is a possibility of getting splashed. Appropriate gear is provided to keep you dry.
5. Can I bring food and drinks on board?
  Captain and crew will provide water and light snacks on board. The USA 76 is a racing yacht, and the experience is an active, hands-on sail. It is recommended to not bring food on board.

Awesome experience .. crew were exceptional !

— John C | Sep 15, 2019

It was amazing. Cruised around the bay, gliding through the water. Crew was great, so friendly and helpful. Captain John was great. Loved the whole experience.

— Vikki O | Oct 09, 2017

Our sailing adventure exceeded all expectations. We sailed towards the bay bridge to an area of little wind, hoisted the sails and flew under the Golden Gate bridge and back. The crew was professional, instructive and great story tellers. I would book the Americas Cup sailing adventure again. Epic time.

Hey Michele, Sounds like a wonderful day on the water! I'm sure the stories were great. Hopefully, you were able to get some nice photos of the sights as well. Thanks for your review. Let me know when you're ready for another epic adventure. Best, Brooke

This was a fun and thrilling ride through the Bay with great views of San Francisco! We got to help with the sails and steer the boat which was a lot harder then we anticipated! Overall was well worth it and really fun experience.
