Half Moon Bay Trip

Modern Sailing members sail Coho II, a Spencer 44, out the Golden Gate and down to Half Moon Bay on a Modern Sailing Expeditions Trip.

Weekend Trip, 2 days and 1 night

Have you been dreaming of a coastal cruising adventure close to home that you can fit into a single weekend? Join MSC for a sail down the coast to Half Moon Bay!

This two-night expedition starts at Modern Sailing at 8:00 AM on Saturday morning to provision, plan the course, do a safety briefing, and meet the crew. Prepare to arrive early for on-time departure on Saturday morning. 

Once out the gate, you’ll spend the day sailing downwind, watching for whales, and surfing ocean swells. Upon arrival at Half Moon Bay, the crew can venture ashore to dine at one of the many seaside restaurants like Sam's Chowder House that boast fresh catches and local delights. Other evening activities include a walk down the beach or enjoying a night cap at local favorites, Ketch Joann Restaurant and Harbor Bar or the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company. After breakfast on Sunday, we will make our way back up the coast, aiming to arrive at MSC base in time to clean up and disembark before sunset.

    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!

  • Ray Arceneaux

    The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

  • Steve Hood, Basic Coastal Cruising

    I would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way.

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

    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.
