Firefly

Platinum Fleet
Oceanis 40.1

Firefly is one of our first Premier Tier vessels available in the Sausalito 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.

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

    The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

    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.

    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.

    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!
