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!

    I would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way.

    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.

    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!

    The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.
