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 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.

    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.

    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.

    Captain Jeff Cathers is really cool. I had such a great time on the Farallones Day Trip. It was actually my very best day of 2020. Thank you so much for coordinating the trip.

    All of the courses and my instructors (JT and Stan) were extremely professional and full of knowledge and experience. I found I was able to learn from their experiences beyond the scope of the courses, and look forward to future opportunities to do so. I would highly recommend Modern Sailing to anyone.
