Stretch your sea legs across the Bay. Modern Sailing offers the ultimate key to unlocking two distinct sailing fleets and destinations – Sausalito and Berkeley. Each location boasts its unique charm and challenges, promising unforgettable adventures on the San Francisco Bay.

Set Sail in Sausalito:

  • Picture this: Crisp ocean breeze, stunning vistas of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the vibrant Sausalito waterfront as your backdrop.
  • Master the art of crosswind docking: Hone your skills with our expert instructors, learning to navigate bustling marinas with confidence.
  • Embrace the social scene: Indulge in post-sail delights at one of Sausalito's charming harborside restaurants, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere.

Embrace the Thrill in Berkeley:

  • Gear up for adventure: Berkeley offers a dynamic waterfront, perfect for practicing downwind docking maneuvers and navigating the unique currents of the bay.
  • Experience a different perspective: Witness the cityscape from a fresh angle, enjoying the serenity of the East Bay shoreline.
  • Unwind in style: After your sail, explore the trendy cafes and shops that Berkeley's vibrant university district is known for.

The Best of Both Worlds:

With our half-day Site Orientation Sail, you can charter both locations for the same monthly membership dues! This exclusive program grants you the freedom to charter from either Sausalito or Berkeley, unlocking endless possibilities for your sailing escapades.

    The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

    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!

    Here are some snaps of Our Saturday, August 20, 2022 Modern Sailing Expedition with Captain Robert Bivin, who was outstanding. Please convey photos and thanks to him. He is an outstanding individual, leader and sailing instructor. His knowledge and experience made us all feel safe and our Farallones Day Trip educational and just amazing.

    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!

    All of the courses and my instructors (JT and Stan) were extremely professional and full of knowledge and experience. I found I was able to learn from their experiences beyond the scope of the courses, and look forward to future opportunities to do so. I would highly recommend Modern Sailing to anyone.
