Prior to joining MSC, Timmy harbored an intense fascination with sailboats and sailing, which he indulged by insatiably consuming videos and books on the subject - but he’d never sailed before. Four years later, Timmy is embarking on the adventure of a lifetime - sailing the world with his wife Ari Davalos and their Chihuahua Papi on a boat of their own.
Regardless of your crew’s experience level, you’ll increase your odds of a safe and enjoyable sail and enable your crew members to cope with unforeseen challenges by providing a thorough predeparture safety briefing.

Better late than never! Don has always loved being in, on, and under water. He first became interested in sailing decades ago, but kept putting it off. With the support and encouragement of his family, Don finally began learning to sail in the spring of 2021 and now enjoys sailing frequently with his new friends at Modern Sailing.
Want to keep your mobile devices charged or use a small appliance away from shore? If your bareboat charter plans include being away from the dock for more than a few hours, beforehand, it's a good idea to understand your boat's electrical system and how to properly utilitize it.

Robert Bao has always enjoyed being out on the water, beginning with kayaks and canoes and progressing to small sailboats. Recently, Robert became qualified to charter boats in Modern Sailing's Platinum Fleet and is now dreaming bigger.
A dock line dangling in the water can too easily ruin a perfectly good day of sailing - and worse. A fouled propeller often comes with costly consequences. The good news is that "prop wrap" is very easy to prevent.
Waitlisted? Wondering what's next? What happens when someone cancels their enrollment in a class you've waitlisted for?
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.
Here are some snaps of Our Saturday, August 20, 2022 Modern Sailing Expedition with Captain Robert Bivin, who was outstanding. Please convey photos and thanks to him. He is an outstanding individual, leader and sailing instructor. His knowledge and experience made us all feel safe and our Farallones Day Trip educational and just amazing.
