America's Cup Sailing on Auckland's Waitemata Harbour

It’s wonderful to sail on an authentic NZ Americas cup boat! It’s a hands on experience with opportunities to hoist and lower the sails as well as take the helm. You sail through the gorgeous Auckland harbor!

This was a lot different than what I expected, but I had a great time. I would recommend the America's Cup Sailing experience to anyone. Much better than a boat ride thru the harbor.

Maybe we got lucky but with sunshine and good winds,this was an amazing experience. Sailing on a high performance and fast racing yacht is not something you do every day . With 20 visitors and 5 crew it was quite crowded but this in no way limited the experience. Crew were skilled and put safety first. They then got everyone involved in grinding the winches and steering as we raced out to the channel and around the harbour for 2 hours. Dress up warm as can get cold out in the channel and some spray as we got up to speed. You need to be active and able to move across the boat as it keels over at quite an angle. A 10/10 experience 👏

It was an amazing and unique experience! Definitely worth it and the crew where extremely knowledgeable and made sure the overall experience was amazingly memorable.

The view was amazing. Great experience with the family. Took lots of photos for great memories. Fantastic Crew on board!

You got to be part of the crew and helped raise and lower the sails. It was both fun and interesting!

Unique and very enjoyable experience. Great tour of the harbor on a historic and fast boat. Was able to take the helm and help with line handling. Exceeded expectations with very knowledgeable crew!

Would highly recommend this activity. The crew were great - knowledgeable and entertaining, resulting in an excellent experience.

We had our America’s Cup sailing experience on our first day in Auckland, and it was the perfect way to start our trip. The staff on board was very professional, as well as welcoming. They made us feel safe the entire ride, and they also helped make sure we had a good sailing experience. There were several opportunities for guests on board to “help out” with the sail as well, which was a fun way to keep the group engaged throughout the experience.

Great time! Excellent crew. Coming back in October to do it again!!! My husband’s favorite excursion ever!
