Dan Bailey

General Manager, Sausalito

Dan's journey with Modern Sailing began in November 2022 as a client, quickly falling in love with the sport and completing his ASA 101 and 103 certifications. This passion led him to join the Modern Sailing team in March 2024 as a Customer Service Representative, where he quickly demonstrated a deep understanding of Modern Sailing's operations and a commitment to providing exceptional service.

Prior to joining MSC, Dan honed his leadership skills during his 11 years as Global Network Operations Manager for an IT Managed Services Consulting Firm and his 8-year tenure as Retail Manager for Oakley. He excels at building high-performing teams, fostering client-centric cultures, and streamlining operations for growth.

Dan's dedication to continuous improvement extends beyond the office. He has furthered his sailing knowledge by completing ASA 104 and 114 courses and logged an impressive 40 days on the water in 2024.

As General Manager of Sausalito, Dan is eager to inspire new and enthusiastic sailors, sharing the same passion for the sport that ignited his own sailing journey.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!
