Apero

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    The Full Moon Sail with Skipper Bob Gutsgell was Ah-Mayzing!! The group dynamic was lovely and the views spectacular. I can't say enough good things about the experience. Thanks so much for the wonderful Club Sails, they are really great.

    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.
