Capt. Steve Matles and students Andrew, Jeff, and Maxine made Modern Sailing history as the crew of Berkeley's first ASA 104 course. In the process, students and instructor got to enjoy a taste of the bareboat lifestyle aboard a fantastic cruising boat!

Before we leave 2022 in our wake, we'd like to take a fond last glance at some of the highlights of the year at Modern Sailing.
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!
All of the courses and my instructors (JT and Stan) were extremely professional and full of knowledge and experience. I found I was able to learn from their experiences beyond the scope of the courses, and look forward to future opportunities to do so. I would highly recommend Modern Sailing to anyone.
The Full Moon Sail with Skipper Bob Gutsgell was Ah-Mayzing!! The group dynamic was lovely and the views spectacular. I can't say enough good things about the experience. Thanks so much for the wonderful Club Sails, they are really great.
