Welcome aboard for a family friendly 1 hour 45 minute San Francisco Bay sailing tour aboard USA 76, an International America’s Cup Class racing yacht that challenged in 2003 for sporting’s oldest active trophy, the America’s Cup. Our Golden Gate Sail operates with reduced sail area which means we will sail with just the jib sail (forward sail) and will not be using the main sail on this trip. (jib only). Departing from PIER 39 in San Francisco on select summer afternoons.
Beach Street & The Embarcadero San Francisco, CA 94133 Directions: Gate B is located at PIER 39, behind the Aquarium of the Bay.
Your trip will begin by checking in at Gate B, Pier 39 fifteen minutes prior to departure (Gate B is located behind the Aquarium of the Bay on the east side of Pier 39 close to The Embarcadero). Upon departure, we will introduce the crew, have a safety brief, and share some history about the yacht. Then it is time hoist the sail and go yachting! The Express Sail is our best value option and will operate with reduced sail area making it more family friendly. This sail will take place on an afternoon when the current is flowing out of the Bay and the winds will be blowing into the Bay. Under these wind against current conditions, the yacht performs best with reduced square footage
We will sail our 11 story tall mast underneath the Golden Gate Bridge! We are the only boat fast enough to do this every time without using our engine.
