Stars & Stripes

Your party of (2) will enjoy a hands-on 150-minute (2+ hours) experience on Dennis Conner’s famous America’s Cup yacht “Stars & Stripes”. Each of up to (20) total participants will get to play a role as crew while you race this 80-foot yacht around the sheltered waters of San Diego Bay. This is not a guided sight-seeing tour but an interactive sailing thrill. On busy days you’ll get to race against another America’s Cup yacht giving you the ‘ultimate’ sailing experience. A sail on “Stars & Stripes” is itself a once-in-a-lifetime treat. Although subject to availability, reservations will make every effort to schedule you for a date when both yachts will race. Must be at least five years of age.

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa & Marina

Enjoy a four-night stay at this 4-star bay front property. As the closest hotel to SeaWorld and the only high-rise on Mission Bay, its guest rooms enjoy the best views around, unparalleled sweeps of the bay and ocean. This family-friendly San Diego hotel is perfectly situated to explore Balboa Park, Lego Land, Gaslamp Quarter and the beautiful beaches. The big pool is shaped like the state of California, set in a spacious, sunny deck next to a free-form whirlpool large enough for 16 guests at a time. Traditional palm-topped palapas give the pool area a convincing tropical look. The 24-hour marina-view fitness center is well-equipped for all. Gaze at the gorgeous vistas of the Pacific Ocean and Mission Bay surrounding the resort hotel as you stroll along the boardwalk. Relax on lounge chairs overlooking the marina, where inviting boats await your arrival.
