Your Harbour Town Day Sail adventure begins at the iconic Harbour Town Yacht Basin, where you’ll board the famous America’s Cup 12 Metre yacht, Stars & Stripes. As the crew welcomes you aboard, you’ll get a brief introduction to the yacht’s storied history and the basics of sailing. Once you set sail, the boat glides out into the sparkling waters surrounding Hilton Head Island. You’ll feel the excitement as the sails are hoisted and the wind fills them, propelling you smoothly across the water.

Throughout the cruise, you’ll be treated to stunning views of Hilton Head’s coastline, historic Harbour Town Lighthouse, and the lush Lowcountry landscape. Keep your eyes peeled for Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, which often play in the yacht’s wake. The friendly crew will point out wildlife and share fun facts about the area’s natural and maritime history.

You can choose to relax on deck, basking in the sun and enjoying the sea breeze, or join in the fun by helping the crew trim the sails and steer the yacht. This hands-on experience is suitable for all ages and makes you feel like part of the team. As the yacht slices through the waves, you’ll experience the thrill of sailing a true America’s Cup vessel. The adventure wraps up with a leisurely cruise back to Harbour Town, leaving you with lasting memories of an authentic sailing experience on Hilton Head Island.
