Experiencia de navegación en la Copa América en el puerto Waitemata de Auckland

It was a surreal experience for a non-water person to be on an America's cup boat in Auckland Harbor. Thoroughly enjoyed it and the crew was great! My husband who is a water person loved it.

So much fun and so great to be out on the water!!! It was perfect The guys working on the ship were terrific!

We were lucky to get a day both sunny and windy. There were some thrilling moments, tipping toward the water and going around. We chose not to participate in the winding but others did and they seemed to have fun. Glad I did it, much

We went out on the 1pm sail. It was really fun. We both loved grinding and being part of the crew. The sailors on board were very friendly. Would 10/10 do again.

For a child of the 80’s this was a bucket list item. Sailing on an America’s Cup yacht, JPN 41, raced in San Diego as part of the challenger series. The crew led by Julia was professional and engaging. They let everyone take at turn at the helm and gave us a great experience. You can’t beat sailing on a racing yacht in Auckland harbor!

Great knowledgeable staff. It was interactive which made the experience that much richer.

With a couple of extra days in Auckland I had asked on FB for recommendations on what to do. A couple of contributors replied that this was an absolute "must do". We duly booked it for the afternoon of our arrival. With glorious sunny weather it seemed we were all set for a memorable afternoon. Unfortunately when we turned up we were advised that due to winds it would not go ahead. Clearly safety was of utmost importance so gold star for that. We were offered the opportunity to receive a refund or to rearrange. Staff at the desk went out of their way to assist us. We were lucky enough to be able to rearrange and for the sail to go ahead. And it was certainly a memorable one for our last day in Auckland I think the yacht can take 30 passengers but i don't think there was a full contingent. The crew were friendly whilst at the same time being professional. Safety procedure were clearly explained to us. The crew explained the history of the yacht to us and engaged with us continually. There is an opportunity to actually help with crewing the yacht and it was certainly tempting to .join in. However we just took the opportunity to sit back and enjoy an exhilarating experience. It might not be the cheapest of experiences but we loved every minute and were so glad we did it.

For people who love sailing and people that have never experienced it, this was a great experience. The crew was great and we were able to do as much work or as little as you wanted. We had perfect weather with light winds and calm seas. The sail under these conditions was comfortable but not overly exciting. Your experience on this outing is highly dependent upon the weather.

This was a great experience and definitely a bucket list item. The crew was exceptional. Knowledgeable and highly skilled. We as passengers had the opportunity to assist with sailing hoisting rigs, etc. The scenery amazing. We would go again in a heartbeat. Our craft was in the 1995 American cup with a Japanese crew. They did not win but a great vessel none the less.

We sailed in an official America’s Cup sailboat. We had a great time around the Auckland harbor. The crew will teach you how to raise the sails, steer the boat so you can take part in the adventure. We enjoyed perfect views around the harbor, below the bridge, even saw someone doing the bungee jumping… Have great photos a memories! Huge thanks to the amazing crew for making such a standout experience.
