Modern Sailing and Encinal Yacht Club Reciprocal Program

Modern Sailing School and Club is excited to announce a new reciprocal program with Encinal Yacht Club (EYC), a landmark of the East Bay sailing community nestled in Alameda’s historic Gold Coast since 1890. As the third oldest yacht club on the San Francisco Bay, EYC carries a rich maritime legacy that perfectly aligns with our mission. This collaboration opens up fantastic reciprocal benefits, offering a bridge for members of both communities to expand their skills, enjoy reciprocal club access, and share their passion for life on the water.

For Modern Sailing Members: 

  • Members looking to visit EYC: The Encinal Yacht Club welcomes Modern Sailing members, arriving aboard a chartered vessel from the MSC fleet and presenting their designated guest access pass with advanced reservations. Enjoy access to EYC’s guest dock for day use. Experience lunch or dinner at the clubhouse, or lounge après sail, enjoying the views after a day on the water. Please note: access to the club pool is for EYC members only.
  • Advanced Reservations Required: Please contact the Port Captain for docking arrangements and the club manager for dining reservations and arrangements one week in advance. Overnight guest dock use for one night may be available, space permitting, and requiring a booking at least a week in advance.

  • 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!

  • Emma & George Stubbs, Sausalito

    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.

  • Danny Collins

    The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

  • John Kratochvil, Oregon

    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.

  • John Clark

    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.
