Custom International Americas Cup Class

FOR SALE: USA 76 — ICONIC IACC RACING YACHT WITH USCG PASSENGER CERTIFICATION
A rare chance to own a fully operational America’s Cup icon built for speed, legacy, and commercial opportunity.

Step into sailing history with USA 76, one of the most recognizable International America’s Cup Class (IACC) yachts ever constructed. Designed and campaigned by Oracle Racing, USA 76 competed in the 2003 Louis Vuitton Cup in Auckland, New Zealand, representing the United States in the most elite arena of competitive sailing. Today, this 84-foot carbon fiber powerhouse is more than a legendary racing machine — it is one of the only America’s Cup yachts in the world holding active U.S. Coast Guard Passenger Vessel Certification, making it fully legal to operate commercial charters in the United States.

A Proven Racing Legend

USA 76 was developed using cutting-edge hydrodynamic research, advanced composite construction, and a sail plan engineered for maximum acceleration and lift. From the narrow beam to the deep-draft bulb keel, every line of the hull is built to convert wind into pure speed. She competed fiercely against the world’s top syndicates and demonstrated that American technology and performance still define the pinnacle of the sport.

Even today, USA 76 sails at speeds competitive with modern grand-prix yachts. Few vessels on the water attract the same attention — fewer still deliver such visceral performance.
