Farallones Day Trip

The Farallones Islands. Spend a day sailing out the Golden Gate and to the Farallon Islands with Modern Sailing School and Club

One Day, 8am - 8pm

Rich in marine wildlife and rugged beauty, our Farallones sailing expedition is a must for sailors of all levels. This one-day "blast" out to the Farallon Islands is also a great opportunity to get some ocean sailing experience under the guidance of a skilled instructor.

The trip takes place aboard one of our radar-equipped bluewater vessels, Coho II, a Spencer 1330 monohull, or Kanaloa, a Fountaine Pajot Lavezzi 40 catamaran. The outing begins at 0800 and usually returns about 12 hours later. In some cases, we can get there and back in less time.

This adventure is open to sailors of all skill levels, but some sailing experience is highly recommended.

PRICES

$335 for members, $400 for non-members

The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

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!

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.

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.

We just took our ASA 106 at a school in Rhode Island as we prepare for 6 months of cruising in the Caribbean. The class was great, but more than anything it made us really appreciate the quality of teaching and rigor at Modern Sailing. Even though we were the newest to sailing, the group seemed to think that we had the best fundamentals. We felt very well prepared and we see why Modern Sailing has the reputation it does.
