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.

    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.

    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.

    The instructors are great. A special shout out to instructor Gene Filipi who teaches both how to sail and how much fun sailing can be! The school and entire charter program is well run.

    I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience.
