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 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!

    Captain Jeff Cathers is really cool. I had such a great time on the Farallones Day Trip. It was actually my very best day of 2020. Thank you so much for coordinating the trip.

    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!

  • John Boynton

    The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.

    I would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way.
