Platinum Fleet
Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440

Meet Apero, a sleek 2022 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 joining our Platinum fleet at Sausalito Clipper Yacht Harbor (400 Harbor Drive). Sharing the crown with her sister ship Ladera Rose and the classic Spencer 1330 Coho II as the largest vessels in the Modern Sailing fleet, this 44-foot flagship delivers an exquisite blend of high-performance sailing and contemporary luxury to the San Francisco Bay.

Designed by acclaimed naval architect Philippe Briand, the Sun Odyssey 440 revolutionizes top-deck ergonomics. Jeanneau’s iconic walk-around deck allows you to step directly from the companionway to the bow without stepping over cockpit coamings, while the expansive dual-helm layout ensures excellent visibility and total control.

Configured for effortless handling whether you're double-handed or hosting a full crew, Apero features an in-mast furling mainsail, electric winches, and a powerful bow thruster for added control when maneuvering in close quarters. 

Below deck, the light-filled, airy salon pairs refined modern finishes with expansive accommodations, offering a generous layout for up to 8 guests. Whether you're planning a day sail past the Golden Gate or setting anchor in Ayala Cove for a weekend getaway, Apero provides an exceptional charter experience for exploring the Bay in comfort and style.

    The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

    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.

    We just took our ASA 106 at a school in Rhode Island as we prepare for 6 months of cruising in the Caribbean. The class was great, but more than anything it made us really appreciate the quality of teaching and rigor at Modern Sailing. Even though we were the newest to sailing, the group seemed to think that we had the best fundamentals. We felt very well prepared and we see why Modern Sailing has the reputation it does.

    I would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way.

    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.
