Modern Sailing School & Club

"Clean sailboats, kept in good condition. Staff is welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable."

"This is the place to go if you want to learn to sail keelboats or catamarans. Well organized, friendly and good location in Sausalito. You can take all the ASA courses as well as charter boats or take a club sail"

"Booked a 4 hr private lesson with Capt. Jeff on board the Double Lotus. Fantastic experience! The boat was top notch, and Capt. Jeff is an well experienced and patient skipper and instructor. I am a newbie with very limited experience and wanted time on the water in preparation for taking ASA 101/103 in May. Capt.Jeff shared a few tips that will serve me well in moving forward. His approach to feeling the wind was especially helpful. All the staff I encountered at Modern Sailing made the chartering experience smooth and easy. Thanks to Angel for answering all my questions. The Boat is a beautiful place to sail and the people at Modern Sailing will provide you with terrific instruction. Looking forward to my next lesson!"

"This place is superb. An incredible fleet of boats, from the affordable, smaller, older Catalinas to brand new Beneteau mega yachts (well, at least for my means). They have a great variety of charter timing options (including a great sunset only sail). Their classes are great (took one with instructor Bill Moreland) and fairly priced, especially if purchased as a package. The location is also great. Quiet and tucked away, yet easy to reach. The picnic tables at the marina are perfect for a chat and a snack before or after a sail. Couldn't be more pleased with this business. Next best thing to owning a boat, or, wait, maybe even better."

"Did the heavy weather coastal skipper course with Stan Lander. Was a great experience! Even though the wind picked up a lot every day bar one Stan kept everything under control. Got to see parts of California in a way i couldn't otherwise while getting a lot more experience sailing in rougher conditions."
