San Francisco Bay Sailing Club
Modern Sailing's Club Sails are a great way for members to make new friends, learn, and practice while sailing the beautiful San Francisco Bay. Our Club Sails are social sails skippered by experienced, friendly club members who have been trained and vetted by our instructors. There are no certifications or experience required to join a Club Sail. With a wide variety of Club Sails, there's something fun to fit every sailor's schedule!
Bring your friends and family! Club Sails are open to club members and up to 2 adult (18+) non-member guests per member, priced the same as the member rate. Need some help enrolling your guests in Club Sails online? Check out our article How to Purchase Online for Another Person.
