Robert Bivin

ASA Master Instructor

Robert's fast-paced journey with Modern Sailing is a testament to his passion for sailing, particularly for sharing this passion with others. He joined Modern as an ASA 101 certified student in 2016 and quickly progressed through all of our available ASA courses. He also graduated from the Racing Clinic, Club Skipper Clinic, and several other advanced Sailing Clinics. In 2017, Robert became one of our most active Club Skippers, adding to his experience by leading countless Club Sails.

Robert didn't stop there! His remarkable progress continued with completing his USCG Captains License Courses and ASA Instructor Qualification Clinics at Modern Sailing in 2018 and 2019. Upon becoming an instructor for Modern Sailing, he dove right into teaching ASA courses and Sailing Clinics, leading our Farallones Day Trips, Advanced Coastal Cruising and Offshore Passagemaking courses, and even some Global Destinations Flotillas.

As of 2024, Modern Sailing is extremely proud to have Robert as a certified ASA Master Instructor. This means he has become a leader of our Instructor Qualification Clinics and is certifying sailors to become instructors themselves.

Robert's journey is a shining example of dedication, skill, and the joy of teaching. His contributions continue to inspire both new and seasoned sailors, fostering a vibrant and knowledgeable sailing community at Modern Sailing. We look forward to seeing his future accomplishments and the many students and instructors he will undoubtedly inspire along the way.

    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.

    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.
