Bareboat Chartering Update - Social Bubbles Sailing

Last Updated July 7, 2020

On June 19, Marin County expanded its social guidelines to permit groups of up to 12 individuals within a "social bubble" to gather for outdoor activities. What does this mean for Modern Sailing?

Bareboat Charter Crews

Bareboat charterers can now expand their crew beyond their household to include members of their social bubbles. Masks are optional if your crew consists of those within your social bubble.

Bareboat Charter Availability

During Phase I and II of reopening, only Full Day reservations were available. To slightly increase our bareboat charter capacity, as of July 7, we are now able to offer half-day charters (noon check-in). Half-day charters are priced at the Full Day rate with a 15% discount applied. Your boat will be freshly sanitized in the morning before you arrive.

Staggered Start Times

To help reduce the number of people arriving at the office or docks at any given time, charter and class check-in times are staggered. Please be sure to arrive at the check-in time provided to you by your customer service representative.

Multi-Day Charter Discounts

To celebrate summer, Independence Day, and the re-opening of Ayala Cove's mooring field, we've also increased our special discounts on multi-day charters. The discount applies to the total charter rate for all consecutive days.

  • 2 days = 20% off
  • 3 - 5 days = 25% off
  • 5 or more days = 30% off

Stay Safe

Masks are still required to be worn on the docks, near the office, and while aboard during Courses, Clinics, Club Sails, and Races. We encourage everyone to continue doing their part to limit the spread of COVID-19 by following the guidelines issued by Marin County. Learn More

    I've taken two classes at MSS&C and was very happy with the program. This is also a great club with lots of opportunities for camaraderie and practice on the water. The boats in the fleet are fantastic and kept in tip-top shape. I highly recommend for all sailors and would-be sailors!

    We just took our ASA 106 at a school in Rhode Island as we prepare for 6 months of cruising in the Caribbean. The class was great, but more than anything it made us really appreciate the quality of teaching and rigor at Modern Sailing. Even though we were the newest to sailing, the group seemed to think that we had the best fundamentals. We felt very well prepared and we see why Modern Sailing has the reputation it does.

    I took ASA 101 with them recently. They have the best customer service I've ever seen! I mistyped my address when I signed up online so didn't receive the textbook. I called and the lady immediately sent me another copy! Everyone at the club is super friendly.

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

  • David Dolenc, Member

    I love sailing in the San Francisco Bay and greatly appreciate everything that MSC has to offer, the classes, clinics, club sails, racing and charters. I enjoy our supportive sailing community and use every opportunity to spend time on the water. After obtaining the certifications from MSC I did my first charter in Croatia in 2022 with my family. It was amazing and we’re looking forward to returning soon!
