Silver Fleet
Beneteau Oceanis 31, Platinum Edition

Experience the perfect harmony of refined luxury and agile cruising with Sparky, a 2015 Beneteau Oceanis 31 Platinum Edition. A standout addition to our Sausalito - Clipper Yacht Harbor fleet, this exclusive Platinum Edition couples Beneteau’s legendary performance with an upscale aesthetic, making her one of the most sophisticated and rewarding pocket-cruisers on the San Francisco Bay. Designed by the world-renowned Finot-Conq Associés with an elegant interior by Nauta Design, Sparky turns heads with her signature Platinum styling and timeless profile.

Under sail, Sparky is a joy to handle. The fractional sloop rig, responsive wheel steering, and 5' 11" draft provide incredible stability, stiffness, and tracking, allowing you to slice through breezes with absolute confidence and ease. All lines lead elegantly aft to a spacious cockpit outfitted with premium teak seating and a leather-wrapped helm. 

Below deck, Sparky offers a surprisingly grand, light-filled sanctuary that feels like a much larger yacht. The premium Alpi Blond Oak woodwork and panoramic portlights create a warm, inviting ambiance with over 6 feet of headroom. The intelligent layout features a fully equipped C-shaped galley with a 100-liter icebox, pressurized hot water, and a deluxe stove and oven. Two private, spacious double cabins comfortably accommodate a weekend getaway, complemented by a generous head and separate nav station.Whether you are embarking on a spirited day charter past the Golden Gate or setting anchor for a generous weekend, Sparky delivers a first-class, easy-to-manage cruising experience.

    Thumbs up to (Club Skipper) Geoff (Love) and his wife Laura. I went on my first Club Sail on Sunday, January 18, 2026. They were terrific!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
