Experience for yourself the best of Auckland

Usually the domain of billionaires and elite professional yachties, NZL 40 and NZL 41 offer an unique opportunity for you to participate in sailing these grand prix racing machines.

The America’s Cup is the world’s oldest and most prestigious sporting trophy and ultimate yachting regatta.

America’s Cup Sailing Experience
Join us for an unforgettable two hours sailing. A unique opportunity to participate as crew on an actual America’s Cup yacht. Take the helm, exert energy on the grinders or simply sit back and enjoy the ride as we sail the beautiful Waitemata Harbour.

America’s Cup Match Racing
Your three hour experience begins in the Viaduct Harbour where you will meet the crew and go through a short race and safety briefing. The yachts then depart the Viaduct Harbour and after a period of practice, the action really starts, when you line up in the pre-start and compete head to head. Sailings subject to weather and minimum numbers apply.

• Be fully involved or sit back and enjoy the action
• No experience necessary

Bonus Inclusion: Both these activities include entry to the Maritime Museum, including Blue Water Black Magic exhibition. A tribute to Sir Peter Blake and New Zealand’s extraordinary yachting success.

Location: Booking Kiosk, Viaduct Harbour, Auckland
