Farallones Day Trip

The Farallones Islands. Spend a day sailing out the Golden Gate and to the Farallon Islands with Modern Sailing School and Club

One Day, 8am - 8pm

Rich in marine wildlife and rugged beauty, our Farallones sailing expedition is a must for sailors of all levels. This one-day "blast" out to the Farallon Islands is also a great opportunity to get some ocean sailing experience under the guidance of a skilled instructor.

The trip takes place aboard one of our radar-equipped bluewater vessels, Coho II, a Spencer 1330 monohull, or Moon Dance, a Bavaria 42' monohull. The outing begins at 0800 and usually returns about 12 hours later. In some cases, we can get there and back in less time.

This adventure is open to sailors of all skill levels, but some sailing experience is highly recommended.

PRICES

$335 for members, $400 for non-members

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.

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 vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

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.

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.
