America's Cup 12-meter Yacht Afternoon Sail From Hilton Head

We had a great time sailing. The weather was perfect. Once we got out in the open water, crew members were asking for volunteers to manage the jib and also steer the boat. My husband volunteered for both, and I could see how happy he was. It was a great trip, and the captain and crew were awesome!

My son & I were gifted tickets. We loved it so much I have taken my family every year since then. The captain & 2 mates were fabulous! They always have been! Highly recommend this outing for your family or friends!

This is an awesome cruise. Captain Peter, Jenna and Clayton were great. We saw so many dolphins Captain Peter stayed out longer than the hour and a half. This is definitely on my to do the next time wevisit the island.

We come to Hilton Head every year and EVERY year, we book this experience! Captain Peter and his crew are top notch, ensuring everybody has a great experience! If you’re lucky you get to see pods of dolphins playing alongside your cruise! Can’t wait to return next year!

Very nice trip. The captain was friendly and knowledgeable. The two mates were friendly and efficient. We were able to help with the sails and steering the boat. Lots of fun. Beautiful scenery. Also saw quite a few dolphins.

The whole experience was so much fun. Sailing in the bay, getting to help with steering & setting & adjusting sails, meeting new people & conversing onboard with them & Capt Pat & the crew, couldn’t have been better

A very smooth trip and the crew were very friendly and knowledgeable

We had a wonderful time. The Captains and Sam were a pleasure to be around. They told us about the history of Hilton Head and Dafauskie Island.

This was a bucket list experience that I didn't know I even had on my bucket list. in retrospect this is the second historical maritime vessel I have been on (the only other being the USS Constitution!). The weather was perfect (although the gusts were 25 to 30 mph - but fairly light chop. I had a ball at the helm! Captain Peter knows how to skipper a boat AND knows how to make everyone feel comfortable (and safe).

It was a great sailing experience. The crew were very good and knew what they were doing.

Our sunset cruise on the "Stars & Stripes" was fantastic. Captain Peter, along with Sam and Ashley, were a great crew. Capt. Peter (age 87) has been sailing all his life and has been in Hilton Head since the early '60s. He's watched and been involved in the development of the island for over 60 years and knows all the people and all of their stories! Sam and Ashley were fantastic mates, as well. Very helpful, courteous, and impressive sailors. We had a vivid sunset, saw dolphins, got to steer an America's Cup sailboat, and best of all, got to spend a couple of hours with Capt. Peter and his great crew. Highly recommended!!!

What a perfect window between rain storms to set sail off of HHI. So glad to finally have a chance to ride on the America’s Cup yacht. Thank you to Captain Peter and crew.

We had three generations with us from 20years old to 70 and we all loved it. We would do it again. Well worth it

This experience was fantastic CPT Rick, Sam and Haden were absolutely great. I have such beautiful pictures and memories, it was a pleasure.

The feeling of gliding across the water is so relaxing and peaceful that we do this activity every year we visit (6 times so far). Every sailing is a little different but the crew makes each time a unique memory.

We had a fantastic day on the ocean with the entire crew. We have been coming to Hilario Head for years and this one of the best times on the water we have had. Highly recommend for a different way to experience the water.

Very enjoyable . Captain Peter was wonderful. His crew very accommodating. Perfect for senior citizens. Very relaxing and friendly.

We enjoyed the experience, got a kick out of the captain. Not a fun of the minimum character limit, I almost didn’t leave a review.

They canceled on us the hour before because they did not full up the activity with other people.

Wonderful, relaxing experience! Captain Pete and his crew made my first experience on a sailboat a delight! Would highly recommend!

Great trip, and we were able to help pilot the boat! Captain and crew were friendly and helpful shout out to Maddie and Sam

It was outstanding. The crew was very friendly, and the captain was also great. Would highly recommend this to anybody that would like to experience sailing.

Captain Pete was knowledgeable, expert, and enjoyable to talk with. Those of us seated at the front of the boat were sitting on uncomfortable cushions/flotation devices on the deck. Passengers at the front were largely ignored by the crew except a couple checks to see if there was interest in a cold beverage. It would have been nice for crew to engage a bit more, giving a bit more history about the boat, and point out points of interest during the sail. It's an affordable outing, reasonably priced. Sailors or boaters will enjoy it. Sitting in the back near the Captain is a more comfortable and enjoyable experience than the front deck.

We had a wonderful time on the water. The staff and captain were very personable and friendly. We were on the yacht with a large family and another couple but didn’t feel crowded at all. It was truly a very enjoyable experience.

Really enjoyed our sail. Meet the most lovely family from South Carolina. The crew were very friendly and my husband got the chance to steer the boat first a while. Highly recommend.

My wife and I took our first sail on the Stars & Stripes in 2019, and we have done it every year since, when we visit Hilton Head. Captain Peter is great, and his crew are great, too. Highly recommend.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Beautiful sailing trip and saw dolphin close up. Perfect trip.

This is a great, relaxing experience. The crew is excellent. Letting my Great Nephew handle the wheel was an unforgettable first sailing day for him!

We took the Sunset Cruise on the Stars and Stripes. It was a peaceful trip with beautiful views of the sunset (despite the clouds). This is more of a leisurely cruise and not one where you will get a lot of history. We were excited to have many dolphin sightings, and even had one jump up near the boat! It was awesome! Fair warning: there are only a few seats in the back that are like bench seats. If you don't snag those as the first on the boat, you will be sitting on the deck of the boat. By that, I mean sitting criss-cross applesauce on a flat surface. They do provide a seat cushion and you can request an extra cushion for more comfort and a little more height, but If you have difficulty getting up and down from the floor, you'll need to get the bench seats in the back. After the sails are deployed, you are allowed to stand up, which is helpful to relieve any stiffness from sitting on the floor. They do have stairs to get onto the boat which made it easy for old, young, small and large to get on and off the boat. You can purchase beverages on the boat, and there is a bathroom but it is very small and you basically have to go down a ladder to get to it. I recommend visiting the restroom right before boarding. All that being said, we would recommend this activity. It was peaceful, the crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and they engaged us in good conversation during the cruise. We met some very nice people, too!

This is our second time on this boat. We thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a nice, peaceful cruise with dolphins playing around you and drinks available.

It was a lot of fun! Met some new people and my husband got to steer the boat. Captain and crew were so amazing. Truly made our vacation

Great experience sailing! Our Captain, Peter, was great and his 1st mate, Ian, was as well. Tremendous views on this relaxing sail! Peter and Ian also provided a lot of interesting local information as well. Definitely recommend this experience!

No restroom on the yacht. Overall, friendly staff. Staff gave interesting information regarding some historical accounts of people and events

We had an amazing time sailing aboard the America's Cup - 12 Meter yacht! The captain and his crew were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish, making the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. One of the highlights was seeing dolphins in the wild, which made the trip even more memorable. We were also offered refreshments, which was a thoughtful touch and added to the overall experience. I especially loved getting the chance to ride the sailboat. We got to take some beautiful photos. This cruise was absolutely worth it, and I would definitely do it again. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water!

Tool my sister visiting for the fourth and she loved it. Perfect length and excellent crew! Great way to spend an hour in the afternoon.

friendly captain and hand decks! relaxing experience and learned about sailing saw dolphins and sea birds

Highly recommend this activity. We saw dolphins, sailed away with gentle breeze. Fun crew! It can get hot waiting to board as we started at 3 pm but once we got moving, it was pleasant

Fantastic sunset sail with Captain Peter, First Mate Ashley and Mate Lauren! The winds were in our sails and a good time was had by All!!

Understand that the charter can’t control the wind but on windless days operator could do a bit more help or even just apologize for a one and a half hour trip in near windless conditions. Captain and crew were good. Just feel like the operator only watch for foul weather. This not a comfortable boat when the midday sun is brutal.

Sailing an America’s Cup 12 meter is a rare opportunity. Stars & Stripes was significant to the USA recapturing the America Cup. Captain Pete is s legend and fun host allowing passengers to help raise sails and take the helm or just sit back and enjoy a beautiful sail. The crew of young ladies were welcoming, friendly, attentive and amazing at hoisting and trimming sails. A truly wonderful family experience.

Trip was cut short due to weather, but otherwise was very good experience. The charter company did issue a partial refund due to lack of a full scheduled outing.

A must when on Hilton Head Island. Captain Peter was a delight and eager to let guests experience the helm of this classic 12 meter. The crew of three capable young ladies were welcoming, friendly and amazing to watch as they raised and trimmed sails. You can enjoy a wonderful sail while relaxing or jump in to help crew. A great family event.

Come very early to get a good seat is yiu are over 80. Folks that have extensive sailing experience might get a chance to stear the boat for a while.

Wonderful experience on the sailboat. The crew was very personable and welcoming! Beautiful views of Hilton Head, dolphins and a sunset. The crew encouraged participation and were fun to be around.

Enjoyed the sail boat trip, staff was amazing! No problem with booking!! Would definitely recommend

Captain and Crew were fantastic! Personable and fun experience for all ages.

Peter and his first mates were very helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the boat, the area and wildlife. Very accommodating...we had someone in our group w a bad back and they loaded her first and gave her a spot she was comfortable in for the entire hour and a half.

Wonderful experience! The crew was friendly and super knowledgeable, pricing is super affordable, and boat is gorgeous. Absolutely would go every time I visit Hilton Head!

Had fun with FAMILY Sailing on the stars and stripes. The crew was kind they helped us take pictures and make sure we were comfortable.
