Skippered Sails & Team Events

What is a Skippered Sail?

A Skippered Sail is everything that you love about sailing and exploring San Francisco Bay - and your Captain is included.

A Skippered Sail is designed to help you relax and experience sailing in the San Francisco Bay. Hop aboard one of our yachts at either our Sausalito or Berkeley club and one of our US Coast Guard Licensed Captains will take you for a cruise.


Bay Tours and Skippered Sails

Tours include sailing past iconic sights such as Alcatraz Island, the San Francisco City Front, AT&T Park, and under the Golden Gate Bridge or the Bay Bridge. You will also experience lesser known destinations such as Paradise Cove, Treasure Island, and Angel Island. With a skilled Captain aboard, you will be encouraged to take the helm yourself or you can just sit back and enjoy the scenery.

Skippered Sails are a minimum of four hours long and can be customized to fit your schedule and specific goals for the day. With a fleet of about 50 yachts (including three catamarans) across two Bay Area locations, we can accommodate the size of your group. While you don't need a special reason to enjoy a day on the bay, it can be great option for family reunions, birthday parties, and team building events.

No matter if you are a seasoned sailor or a novice, a Skippered Sail is a great way to enjoy sailing in San Francisco.

Private Events and Skippered Sails

Skippered sails are a great option for 1 to 6 people and private events. For large team building events, a Corporate Regatta Challenge is a good fit for you. Learn more about the boats in our fleet here and view Skippered Sail packages and rates here.

    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.

    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.

    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!

  • 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.

    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!
