Modern Sailing and Encinal Yacht Club Reciprocal Program

Modern Sailing School and Club is excited to announce a new reciprocal program with Encinal Yacht Club (EYC), a landmark of the East Bay sailing community nestled in Alameda’s historic Gold Coast since 1890. As the third oldest yacht club on the San Francisco Bay, EYC carries a rich maritime legacy that perfectly aligns with our mission. This collaboration opens up fantastic reciprocal benefits, offering a bridge for members of both communities to expand their skills, enjoy reciprocal club access, and share their passion for life on the water.

For Modern Sailing Members: 

  • Members looking to visit EYC: The Encinal Yacht Club welcomes Modern Sailing members, arriving aboard a chartered vessel from the MSC fleet and presenting their designated guest access pass with advanced reservations. Enjoy access to EYC’s guest dock for day use. Experience lunch or dinner at the clubhouse, or lounge après sail, enjoying the views after a day on the water. Please note: access to the club pool is for EYC members only.
  • Advanced Reservations Required: Please contact the Port Captain for docking arrangements and the club manager for dining reservations and arrangements one week in advance. Overnight guest dock use for one night may be available, space permitting, and requiring a booking at least a week in advance.


For Encinal Yacht Club Members:

Enhance your sailing experience with Modern Sailing’s exceptional programs and fleet. In collaboration with Modern, EYC will offer some ASA courses directly from the EYC docks. 

  • EYC members will receive a 50% discount off MSC Membership initiation fee
  • EYC members will receive a 10% discount off non-member rates for all Modern Sailing School ASA courses and in-house clinics at MSC Sausalito - Marina Plaza Harbor, MSC Sausalito - Clipper Yacht Harbor and MSC Berkeley - Berkeley Marina

    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 Clark

    Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training.

    Thumbs up to (Club Skipper) Geoff (Love) and his wife Laura. I went on my first Club Sail on Sunday, January 18, 2026. They were terrific!

  • Andrew Goble, San Francisco

    It has been wonderful sailing with MSC over the years. Please extend my thanks to the owners, management, and staff for unrequited professionalism and high standards in a charter fleet. I have sailed with several in my years and none nearly hold a candle to the quality of business and staff at Modern Sailing.

  • 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.
