Take in the highlights of San Diego Bay during a 90-minute sightseeing tour by amphibious vehicle.

Cruise around San Diego bay aboard an authentic 1992 America’s Cup racing yacht and travel at twice the speed of the average sailboat. The Stars and Stripes USA-11 is one of the fastest and best known America’s Cup racing yachts. It was designed and built to be raced in San Diego, and has been restored to pristine condition. Take a turn at the helm and join in grinding the winches to raise and trim the sails.

Sail into the setting sun aboard a Catalina style sailboat during this intimate cruise with a small group.
