There is no place other than San Diego that 108 novice sailors can participate in a hands-on authentic America’s Cup match race. That’s right…..our two ‘IACC’ yachts are possibly the last generation America’s Cup yacht that any public guests will ever get to sail. Why is that? Well the current racing for the ‘cup’ is…

Once again Riviera Magazine hosted their VIP advertisers and fashion moguls on the yacht ‘America’ for a pre-party sail on San Diego Bay.  Fifty of their elite 200 person invite list got to enjoy lovely food from Justin Fitzgerald’s “Authentic Flavors” catering and ‘sexy’ drinks from “Snake Oil Cocktail Company” as they cruised the bay…

While the majority of the ‘America’ dining events are on deck in a casual format and relaxed atmosphere, last Friday 13th saw 17 VIP guests enjoy the finer dining environment of the yacht “Olde Worlde” salon. With Dennis Conner as their special guest and Dennis Conner’s America’s Cup trophy for photographic opportunities, these folks shared…

SONY not only uses yacht ‘America’ for thanking and entertaining their valued customers, but to also demonstrate their wonderful camera equipment in our sailing environment. The ‘America’ carries a supply of quality SONY cameras and guests on our public whale watching and sunset sails are welcome to apply in advance to use it, bring their…

Sunday 15th was a busy day. Not only was the ‘America’ front & center at the main dock of the San Diego Yacht Club for ‘opening day’, but then had to rush back to our own dock to entertain 72 international guests from networking giant ‘Cisco’. These folks enjoyed a perfect sunny afternoon and early…

Tuesday saw 28 visiting corporate folks getting into some hands-on America’s Cup yacht match races, a yacht race with just two vessels in the true America’s Cup fashion. The weather was next to perfect. Sunscreen was definitely required this day. This group arrived from ‘The Grand Del Mar’ and started their experience with a nice…

It was our pleasure to have a group of 25 NATO officials spend a few evening hours sailing with us last Tuesday. They dined at ‘Il Fornio’ restaurant on Coronado before boarding the famous yacht ‘America’ for a sail complete with dessert and after-dinner cocktails. The ‘America’ met them at Peohe’s Restaurant dock on Coronado.

The Glorietta Bay Marina is a very easy walk for guests staying at the Hotel Del Coronado and on Friday we had yet another group of 77 guests make the short walk to the waiting yacht ‘America’, at the dock with food and drinks ready for a great sail through the bay and ocean’s edge….

Not often the words team-building come into play when teens are involved but today we helped bond a religious group of Dads and kids down from Los Angeles. They went out racing……hands-on of course on Stars & Stripes and Abracadabra, all taking turns at helping to operate these big yachts.

How is this for a cool corporate entertaining opportunity. I would say that there hasn’t been a VIP opportunity like this in San Diego since the Super Bowl of 2003. Even though the 2 Oracle AC45 catamarans practiced on San Francisco bay for a couple of weeks and got lots of attention, it’s on San…
