Lots of fun, great way to spend the afternoon!

The America's cup Sailing Experience was lots of fun, you get the chance to turn the hand cranks to power the winches and raise the sails, and everyone gets a chance to steer! With some wind the boat tilts over quite a bit and can pick up plenty of speed, was fun to weave in and around all the other boats on the harbor. The crew was experienced and operated the sails safely, had a great time overall and just wished it was a longer trip :)

Sail into Adventure

This 2-hour tour is an absolute must for anyone visiting Auckland. From raising the sails to taking the helm, the hands-on experience is both exciting and immersive. The yacht moves at impressive speed, and the thrill of feeling it tilt as it slices through the water is unforgettable. The crew is professional and engaging, making the whole journey even more enjoyable. The whole experience was incredibly enjoyable and a must-try for sailing enthusiasts or anyone looking for a unique adventure in Auckland. Highly recommended!

A lot of fun

We had Perfect Wind, an experienced, friendly Team (rescued a hat a passenger lost) and felt a little bit like in a race mode. Thanks to the team. Mathias
