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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!
