Voted the number 1 Cruise Excursion in the world,
period. Be Dennis Connor for the
day and race two multi million dollar race boats neck and neck in the
turquoise waters of Great Bay, Philipsburg.
After an entertaining and
informative briefing dockside, you head out to these thoroughbred racing
vessels onboard specially designed tender boats. These beautiful yachts are the impressive result of cutting edge yacht design
with one goal in mind, to lift the Americas Cup at all cost. The boats
are some of the fastest sailing yachts in the world, and its a rare
opportunity not only to sail on onboard one, but to get really
involved, and actually race like a professional yachtsman. The great
thing is, no previous sailing experience is required!
You get to take the controls and start your practice
session out on the course. As you ready for the race, the adrenalin
starts to flow, the flag is raised and
your off! You are the crew, and winning depends on you. Its hard and
fast action as the boats jostle for position and no quarter is given in
the quest for line honors. Tactics play just as big a part as muscle
power for the teams. There is nothing more mind focusing than two very
expensive yachts on a collision course, with a last minute tack to gain
that minute advantage over the other team.
There is frantic action all round as orders are
shouted and courses and
sails
are adjusted for the maximum speed. From grinder, to sail trimmer, to
“cold beer dispenser” (drinks are included), there is a crew position to
suit you, based on how much you want to be involved in the sailing of
the boats.
At the Clubhouse, following a celebratory post race
"Rum Punch", you can also browse the Americas Cup
memorabilia room, and learn about the rich and often bizarre history of
these boats and this most famous (and expensive) of Yacht
races. This is a really unique and exhilarating excursion, and is
exceptionally well run and organized by its experienced and enthusiastic
owners.
Based a convenient 10 minute walk from the ship, its
handily situated to carry on to downtown after the tour, and do some
sightseeing and shopping. Definitely a St Maarten highlight for all the
family to get excited about and a must do activity for St Maarten.
You can enjoy this tour as a
private charter for your family or group, as well as on a per person
basis.
