Farallones Day Trip

The Farallones Islands. Spend a day sailing out the Golden Gate and to the Farallon Islands with Modern Sailing School and Club

One Day, 8am - 8pm

Rich in marine wildlife and rugged beauty, our Farallones sailing expedition is a must for sailors of all levels. This one-day "blast" out to the Farallon Islands is also a great opportunity to get some ocean sailing experience under the guidance of a skilled instructor.

The trip takes place aboard one of our radar-equipped bluewater vessels, Coho II, a Spencer 1330 monohull, or Moon Dance, a Bavaria 42' monohull. The outing begins at 0800 and usually returns about 12 hours later. In some cases, we can get there and back in less time.

This adventure is open to sailors of all skill levels, but some sailing experience is highly recommended.

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.

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 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.

The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

The meeting room was quite adequate and the location most convenient, but the course outline and instruction were outstanding. Modern Sailing is fortunate to have such a well organized instructor in Mr. Stan Lander who teaches very well from a rich professional background. Mr. Lander was generous with his time and patiently in helping students who needed more attention or time in understanding various aspects of the curriculum.
