Silver Fleet
Oceanis 30.1
Polaris - Beneteau Oceanis 30.1

Polaris is a Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 in our Berkeley Silver Plus Fleet. With a striking, modern profile featuring a hard-chine hull and slender bow, Polaris is designed for agile handling and spirited performance on all points of sail. Her twin rudders provide exceptional control and a responsive helm feel, making her a delight to sail short-handed or with a full crew. She features a convenient in-mast furling mainsail and a dedicated helm pedestal. This setup allows you to easily set, reef, and put away the sail from the safety of the cockpit, while the pedestal offers an additional secure platform for adjustments near the mast—a significant advantage when managing the Bay's notoriously shifty breezes. A spacious cockpit accommodates up to 6 sailors comfortably on day sails.

Below deck, headroom is 6.5 feet in all areas where it is possible to stand. To port at the base of the companionway, an L-shaped galley offers storage, a 20 US gallon refrigerator, and a two-burner stove and oven. The large head is divided into a marine toilet on one side and a shower and washbasin on the other. Open entryways and lengthwise berths give Polaris's two double cabins a spacious feel. The cabins can comfortably sleep 4 overnight and the benches in the salon provide extra sleeping space for 2 more.

Recognized by Cruising World and Sail Magazine as Best Boat of the Year, the Oceanis 30.1 balances comfort, style, and performance. Charter Polaris from our Berkeley location for an unforgettable day or multi-day adventure. Discover firsthand why this boat is a game-changer for our Silver Fleet rated members cruising the San Francisco Bay!

    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.

    Here are some snaps of Our Saturday, August 20, 2022 Modern Sailing Expedition with Captain Robert Bivin, who was outstanding. Please convey photos and thanks to him. He is an outstanding individual, leader and sailing instructor. His knowledge and experience made us all feel safe and our Farallones Day Trip educational and just amazing.

    The meeting room was quite adequate and the location most convenient, but the course outline and instruction were outstanding. Modern Sailing is fortunate to have such a well organized instructor in Mr. Stan Lander who teaches very well from a rich professional background. Mr. Lander was generous with his time and patiently in helping students who needed more attention or time in understanding various aspects of the curriculum.

    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.

    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.
