How to Add Yourself to a Bareboat Waitlist

What if you want to charter a favorite boat or fleet level on a specific date or dates, but there is no availability?

Yes, you can add yourself to a waitlist!

Here's how:

Step 1

Log into your Mindbody customer portal and click the BOOK A BOAT tab, located at the upper-left corner of the page. You will then be prompted to select a location. Once you do so, the page will expand with another prompt to select a fleet level (a.k.a. booking type).

Step 2

Once you've selected a fleet level (booking type), the section will expand to display all of the boats in that fleet level at the chosen location.


Step 3

Select the radio button next to your desired boat, or select "All..." if you're open to booking any boat in that fleet (i.e., All Berkeley-Gold-Full... or All Sausalito-Silver-Full... etc.).

  • Note: You may also choose your boat from the drop-down list in the "Which boat?" section. This has the same effect as selecting the radio button.

Step 4

After selecting your desired boat (or All...), the page will expand again to prompt you to select dates and times. Select Choose your own dates.


Step 5

Once your date or dates are chosen, click the Search button.

Step 6

If there is no availability for the boat or fleet you selected for your desired date(s), you will a see a message like this:

In the upper-right corner of this message, select Request waitlist.

The My Schedule page will appear, showing a list of any reservations you currently have, as well as any offerings that you are waitlisted for.

  • Note: If you should change your plans, please be sure to cancel your waitlist request. Simply click Cancel on the right.

That's it!

Easy, right?

What happens next?

If there is a cancellation for that boat or fleet level, a customer service representative will contact you. If you'd like to accept the booking, please respond to confirm right away. If there are multiple people on the waitlist, the booking will be granted to the first person who confirms by phone or email.

If you're having no luck getting a reservation for your preferred date(s), not all is lost!

Testimonials

  • 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.

  • John Kipping

    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.

    Since many, many years, I had the dream to sail underneath the Golden Gate bridge. On October 14th last year, my dream became true. Thanks to our dear friend Aaron Fritz who made it possible and organized this cruise for us. With this adventure I was able to achieve one more milestone on my sailing career.

    Finally on the water, it was great! Full moon made the flows even stronger and it was like sailing in a washing machine.

    I did my sailing education in the English Channel, where the situation with the wind and flows is comparable to the San Francisco Bay. So I felt pretty much "at home" being on the helm in the Bay.

    I hope our skipper Stan Lander enjoyed this day cruise too. We, definitely did! It was an unforgettable experience for all of us.

    A very big thank you to all of you who made it possible, that my dream became reality! Also thank you for the MSC flag I got at the end of the day. It found it's place in my study, where I can see it daily.

    Rolf Zingg
