Modern Sailing School & Club gives students the choice of learning to sail either in a group course or on a private basis.
On a private basis, we'll be happy to build a custom program to meet your personal sailing objectives. You can choose a time frame that fits your schedule. Whether your goal is to get certified, build your sailing resume for chartering, or simply learn new skills to make sailing more enjoyable, Modern Sailing can help you reach these goals. You'll be receiving expert instruction from one of our proven USCG Licensed Captains and have a yacht of your choice from 30-42 feet.
Are you looking for three to four hours of one-on-one instruction? A Private Lesson is for you! These 3 to 4 hour sessions are ideal for one to two students who are looking to focus on specific techniques such as docking, close-quarters maneuvering, points of sail, tacking, jibing and heaving-to. Private lessons are a great option for sailors returning to the sport to brush the rust off before a bareboat skills checkout.
Looking to earn ASA Certifications, but our Schedule of courses doesn't quite mesh with yours? Consider a Custom ASA Course. Custom Courses can be scheduled to accommodate your needs and are a fun way to learn a new skill with your closest crew – family members or friends. We offer a range of private instruction from ASA 101 through ASA 106, including all of our in-house Sailing Clinics and even our Locals Expeditions to the Farallones, Half Moon Bay, and Drakes Bay.
We also offer lessons on privately-owned vessels. Simply add Modern Sailing School & Club as additionally insured on your marine insurance policy. Your instructor will inspect your vessel prior to departure and may postpone the lesson if the vessel is found to be in an unsafe condition. For pricing, visit our Skippered Charters Pricing page.
We would be happy to work with you to design a custom program suited to your needs - email us, or give us a call at (415) 331-8250.
