Sailing Vacations and Global Destinations
Relax with friends on a catamaran in Belize or tour ancient castles in Greece while you learn destination sailing from the experts. Discover the customs of Tahitian locals or tour Croatian vineyards by day and retire to your luxurious sailboat every evening. Each year, Modern Sailing plans flotillas to exquisite sailing destinations worldwide. Each boat in the Flotilla is led by one of our skilled captains. For sailors who wish to expand their skillset and skipper their own yacht, bareboat options are available.
Beyond the Golden Gate Bridge with Modern Sailing Expeditions
Our Coastal Expeditions gives you a closer look at the Pacific Coast. Known for its rugged coastline and large swell and big winds, Northern California offers exciting and challenging conditions for new and seasoned sailors alike. Modern Sailing Expeditions are open to members and non-members alike and are planned, provisioned and skippered by one of our USCG licensed captains and a first mate.
During a Modern Sailing Expedition, you’ll sail under the Golden Gate Bridge and explore the coastal cities and geography north, west, and south of the Golden Gate Straits. Popular excursions include multi-day trips to Halfmoon Bay and Drakes Bay. One-day trips to the famed Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary occur approximately monthly.
Destination Sailing for Every Level
For Global Destinations and MSC Expeditions, no experience is necessary. Those new to sailing can explore the world from the water knowing that an experienced and licensed captain is at the helm.
