Parking Information

  • Modern Sailing Sausalito - Marina Plaza Harbor: Park in Parking Lot B. This is the large parking lot on the east side of the Marinship office complex.) Leaving your vehicle in Lot A (the small lot adjacent to the south side of our office) is reserved for those with a permit and may result in your vehicle being towed. Note: If you are staying overnight, you will need to acquire a parking pass from the Modern Sailing office and leave it face-up on your vehicle dashboard.
     
  • Modern Sailing Sausalito - Clipper Yacht Harbor: You and your guests are welcome to park in any open space available in the marina. We encourage our guests to utilize parking as close to our main office as possible to provide the best access to our fleet. Note: The Clipper Yacht Harbor parking lot gate closes at 9:00pm. Multi-day charters: You will need to get a parking pass from the Clipper Yacht Harbor Office (not the Modern Sailing office). The Clipper office is across the lot from FISH! Restaurant. They are open Mon - Fri 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (closed for lunch between 12:00 - 1:00 PM, closed Sat and Sun).
     
  • Modern Sailing Berkeley: The boatyard has some parking availability, especially on the weekends. Just drive on in, between the boats on struts. Public parking is also available around the round-about/cul-de-sac at the end of the road, just past the boat yard, overlooking the Bay. The marina parking lot/boat launch lot is right next to the boat yard. We have a limited number of parking passes available for these spaces.
     
  • Sleeping in your vehicle in the parking lot is not permitted. If your vehicle has overnight accommodations on board (such as an RV or camper/van) and you are participating in a multi-day course, please notify Modern Sailing staff as we may need to make special arrangements.

    I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the 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!

    The Full Moon Sail with Skipper Bob Gutsgell was Ah-Mayzing!! The group dynamic was lovely and the views spectacular. I can't say enough good things about the experience. Thanks so much for the wonderful Club Sails, they are really great.

  • John Kipping

    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.

    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.
