Silver Fleet
Beneteau Oceanis 31, Platinum Edition

Experience the perfect harmony of refined luxury and agile cruising with Sparky, a 2015 Beneteau Oceanis 31 Platinum Edition. A standout addition to our Sausalito - Clipper Yacht Harbor fleet, this exclusive Platinum Edition couples Beneteau’s legendary performance with an upscale aesthetic, making her one of the most sophisticated and rewarding pocket-cruisers on the San Francisco Bay. Designed by the world-renowned Finot-Conq Associés with an elegant interior by Nauta Design, Sparky turns heads with her signature Platinum styling and timeless profile.

Under sail, Sparky is a joy to handle. The fractional sloop rig, responsive wheel steering, and 5' 11" draft provide incredible stability, stiffness, and tracking, allowing you to slice through breezes with absolute confidence and ease. All lines lead elegantly aft to a spacious cockpit outfitted with premium teak seating and a leather-wrapped helm. 

Below deck, Sparky offers a surprisingly grand, light-filled sanctuary that feels like a much larger yacht. The premium Alpi Blond Oak woodwork and panoramic portlights create a warm, inviting ambiance with over 6 feet of headroom. The intelligent layout features a fully equipped C-shaped galley with a 100-liter icebox, pressurized hot water, and a deluxe stove and oven. Two private, spacious double cabins comfortably accommodate a weekend getaway, complemented by a generous head and separate nav station.Whether you are embarking on a spirited day charter past the Golden Gate or setting anchor for a generous weekend, Sparky delivers a first-class, easy-to-manage cruising experience.

    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!

    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!

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

    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.
