Stretch your sea legs across the Bay. Modern Sailing offers the ultimate key to unlocking two distinct sailing fleets and destinations – Sausalito and Berkeley. Each location boasts its unique charm and challenges, promising unforgettable adventures on the San Francisco Bay.

Set Sail in Sausalito:

  • Picture this: Crisp ocean breeze, stunning vistas of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the vibrant Sausalito waterfront as your backdrop.
  • Master the art of crosswind docking: Hone your skills with our expert instructors, learning to navigate bustling marinas with confidence.
  • Embrace the social scene: Indulge in post-sail delights at one of Sausalito's charming harborside restaurants, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere.

Embrace the Thrill in Berkeley:

  • Gear up for adventure: Berkeley offers a dynamic waterfront, perfect for practicing downwind docking maneuvers and navigating the unique currents of the bay.
  • Experience a different perspective: Witness the cityscape from a fresh angle, enjoying the serenity of the East Bay shoreline.
  • Unwind in style: After your sail, explore the trendy cafes and shops that Berkeley's vibrant university district is known for.

The Best of Both Worlds:

With our half-day Site Orientation Sail, you can charter both locations for the same monthly membership dues! This exclusive program grants you the freedom to charter from either Sausalito or Berkeley, unlocking endless possibilities for your sailing escapades.

    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.

    I took ASA 101 with them recently. They have the best customer service I've ever seen! I mistyped my address when I signed up online so didn't receive the textbook. I called and the lady immediately sent me another copy! Everyone at the club is super friendly.

  • Andrew Goble, San Francisco

    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.

  • Steve Hood, Basic Coastal Cruising

    I would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way.

  • David Dolenc, Member

    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!
