Set Sail in Sausalito:

  • Master the art of crosswind docking: Hone your skills with our expert instructors, learning to navigate bustling marinas with confidence.
  • Embrace the social scene: Indulge in post-sail delights at one of Sausalito's charming harborside restaurants, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere.

Embrace the Thrill in Berkeley:

  • Gear up for adventure: Berkeley offers a dynamic waterfront, perfect for practicing downwind docking maneuvers and navigating the unique currents of the bay.
  • Experience a different perspective: Witness the cityscape from a fresh angle, enjoying the serenity of the East Bay shoreline.
  • Unwind in style: After your sail, explore the trendy cafes and shops that Berkeley's vibrant university district is known 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.

  • Emma & George Stubbs, Sausalito

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I've taken two classes at MSS&C and was very happy with the program. This is also a great club with lots of opportunities for camaraderie and practice on the water. The boats in the fleet are fantastic and kept in tip-top shape. I highly recommend for all sailors and would-be sailors!
