My husband loved this. He is getting interested in sailing and really wanted to feel what a racing boat on a windy day would feel like. It was adventurous and yes you do get wet. The boat was leaning way over and the capt told us it would not tip over, but it felt like it would. My husband just... more

Don't waste your time or money on this one. Yea the one hour of actual sailing was ok but we spent 30 minutes motoring out and another 30 minutes motoring back in. The worst part of the entire deal though is the crew. Caption John and his mate could care less if you were having fun or for that matter... more

Buckle your seat belt - woops there aren't any. We had a lot of fun. Crew does its best to get you wet. more

We went on the 4:30 trip, June 3, 09. Two words for ya: "Gotta go!". If you wait until 4:30 you get great light on the island for photos. Although the harbor was calm, they take you around to where the tradewinds come across, and then you're moving! PLAN TO GET WET. I wore a white tank top, not realizing... more

We were looking for a sailing tour on a real sailboat that actually put up the sails. We saw an ad for the America ll Sailing trip aboard a 65 foot... more

One of the crew members did tell everyone about the history of America II which was very interesting. For snacks, they had various Austin crackers and... more

Unfortunately we did not have the great experience as the others. The ride was fine (no one got very wet at all), but the 3 young women who seemed to be there solely as eye candy for the crew (not paying customers) really detracted from the trip. We were seated near the crew and the inane chatter and the jockeying... more

We had excellent wind this week and thus a wonderful trip! We got wet but the water is warm and it puts everyone on the boat in good spirits! The staff and skippers were friendly and accomodating. more

Absolutely the best deal on the island. Here is a hint if you want to avoid getting totally drenched: Sit on the left side of the boat (if you are facing the front). Seriously, those folks got a splash or two, but my side of the boat was literally full of water. What a blast, though. I would do it... more
