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.

    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.

    The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.

    The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

  • 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.

    I took ASA 101 with them recently. They have the best customer service I've ever seen! I mistyped my address when I signed up online so didn't receive the textbook. I called and the lady immediately sent me another copy! Everyone at the club is super friendly.
