Experience a memorable two-hour Sunset Sail on a living piece of yachting history— the streamlined America's Cup racing yacht the Stars and Stripes. Set sail out of Hilton Head Island and enjoy this amazing scenic sail.

The Sail America Foundation commissioned four 12 metre yachts to support a campaign lead by Dennis Conner, representing the San Diego Yacht Club, to win back the America's Cup in the 1987 competition in Fremantle, Australia. This racing machine features an 85-foot-tall mast. She is solid, fast and features two steering wheels and a wide cockpit where you and up to five other passengers and the crew will control her speed and high performance. Throughout this South Carolina Sailing Adventure, your Captain and crew guide you as you help trim the sheets and grind the winches!

Once you’re out on the open water, you will enjoy breathtaking sunset views! Whether you are looking for a unique sailing adventure or a unique gift, this America's Cup Sailing on the Stars and Strips is the perfect experience.

What To Know Before You Go

The 12-metre class is a group of sailing vessels were are all designed to a particular formula, so as to make the boats involved in a competition roughly comparable, while still giving individuals the freedom to experiment with the details of their designs. The first 12-metres were built in 1907 and the last in 1987.

Stars and Stripes Cruise

Best bang for your buck on HHI. Captain Chuck and his mates rock! When we got to open water you are allowed to take the wheel! Captain Chuck is next to you so everyone is safe. After a while Cap't Chuck takes the wheel and gets a full sail of wind and shows us what it can do. GREAT experience.

Thrilled to take the helm of an America's Cup classic

I sailed for many years, not very competitive but always had a ball. The America's Cup is one of the greatest sagas in sports, beginning when the schooner yacht America won in 1851 and brought the Auld Mug home from England.

Dennis Conner won the cup back from the Aussies in 1987 with the last of the great 12-meter boats, Stars and Stripes, and this was one of the several he campaigned with. We had a great time on a beautiful day and I was delighted to take the helm for much of the time we were out.

Kodalux (Kodak's processing lab at one time) had been one of the sponsors of the 1987 campaign and I dug out the crew polo shirt I had from then, plus my Stars & Stripes cap so was truly outfitted for the experience. What a great day and it made for many great photos!

Fabulous!

We chartered the boat in April 2018 for a private sunset cruise the night before our wedding & took all of our guests. It was fabulous & everyone loved it! It was so nice that we plan to do it again in 2019 for our 1st anniversary. What a great & memorable addition to our wedding weekend!

If one hasn't sailed on the best of sails, then one should. It was beyond expectations! Smooth, fast, and kept me attentive the whole two and half hours aboard America's Cup.

The Stars and Stripes

I was visiting Hilton Head last week and went sailing on the Stars and Stripes. It was a most memorable experience. There wasn't a great deal of wind, however, it was enough for us to sail around the Harbor. It was great, the crew members were friendly and we had lots of fun. A great evening and one that I will remember for many years to come. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
