AMERICA | San Diego Boat Charters, SD Harbor Cruises

AMERICA - This magnificent sailing vessel is a replica of the 139-foot yacht (AMERICA) that won the historic, Royal Yacht Squadron's "100 Guinea Cup" race around the Isle of Wight. The trophy was donated to the New York Yacht Club to be held as a challenge trophy, which came to be known as the America's Cup.

The original AMERICA Low Black Schooner was designed by a young genius who combined the best of Old World theory and New World practicality. Her later career was equally as colorful - conveyor of secret agents, Confederate blockade runner, Union warship, Naval Academy training vessel, and pride and joy of a famous Civil War general and politician. By her end in 1945, she was one of the most honored vessels in the United States.

Our AMERICA is a replica that was built in 1995 at a cost of more than $6 million. At 139 luxurious and awesome feet in length, and capable of hosting up to 80 guests, she is a treat for anybody aboard her for Sunset Sails, Whale Watching, Dinner Functions, Corporate Events, or exciting ocean-going overnight sailing adventures.
