Firefly

Platinum Fleet
Oceanis 40.1

Firefly is one of our first Premier Tier vessels available in the Berkeley Platinum fleet. This stunning 2023 Beneteau Oceanis 40.1 is designed for exceptional comfort and performance on the water.

Firefly is equipped for effortless sailing with her in-mast furling mainsail and precise handling thanks to a bow thruster for close quarters maneuvering. The dual rudder system and folding propeller enhance her stability and performance, while the autopilot simplifies longer passages. Cruise in ultimate comfort on deck with the sea spray protection of a dodger and plush cockpit cushions.  Below deck, Firefly offers a spacious and inviting interior with a 3-cabin layout, including two aft quarter berths and a comfortable V-berth forward. With two heads, one of which is en suite in the V-berth, she comfortably sleeps up to six people, extending to eight when converting the drop-down salon table to a berth. For extended stays, enjoy the convenience of a top-loading fridge, stove & oven, and a hot water system for all your culinary needs. An inverter onboard ensures you can power small appliances or keep your devices charged, and modern navigation is made simple with the chartplotter at the helm.

Easy water access is provided by her convenient electric swim platform, perfect for a refreshing dip or boarding your tender. Firefly has a day sail comfort rating of 10 people.

    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.

    I've taken two classes at MSS&C and was very happy with the program. This is also a great club with lots of opportunities for camaraderie and practice on the water. The boats in the fleet are fantastic and kept in tip-top shape. I highly recommend for all sailors and would-be sailors!

    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.

    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 love sailing in the San Francisco Bay and greatly appreciate everything that MSC has to offer, the classes, clinics, club sails, racing and charters. I enjoy our supportive sailing community and use every opportunity to spend time on the water. After obtaining the certifications from MSC I did my first charter in Croatia in 2022 with my family. It was amazing and we’re looking forward to returning soon!
