Are these yachts actual America’s Cup boats?


In Explore Group

Yes. Explore Group lists two former competition yachts, NZL41 and NZL68, in its Auckland fleet. NZL41 raced in the 1995 Louis Vuitton Challenge; NZL68 was used as a Team New Zealand trial boat before the 2007 America’s Cup campaign. The operator does not promise a particular yacht for each public sailing. See Auckland sailing tours for other ways to get on the water.
