Testimonials.
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!
All of the courses and my instructors (JT and Stan) were extremely professional and full of knowledge and experience. I found I was able to learn from their experiences beyond the scope of the courses, and look forward to future opportunities to do so. I would highly recommend Modern Sailing to anyone.
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.

“Patrick was a wonderful host since he is an educator for a sailing course in Redwood City. He incorporated us into the experience which made it so much more fun and helped deepen our basic understanding of sailing.

Sailing with Chuck is a true pleasure. His wisdom in life and in business are clear in everything he does. His passion for sailing makes the experience of sharing time with him on the water one that is impactful and unforgettable. Cat Ballou is an amazing ship and will redefine what sailing feels like for new and experienced sailors alike. This is an experience not to be missed!
Chuck is an incredible sailor and businessman. I've worked with Chuck in the insurance business and have sailed with him many times. He has a genuine passion for sailing and has sailed for many years. You won't find a better person to sail with or to do business with.
As the owner of Cat Ballou Sailing, Chuck exemplifies his position and provides a unique experience that can not be easily replicated. His knowledge of his ship is second to none, which directly translates to an incredibly rewarding experience for first-time and seasoned sailors alike. If you have the the opportunity, I strongly recommend calling on Chuck for his Team Building expertise as well.
Cat Ballou and Chuck provided our company with organized, thoughtful and well executed events. Because of his background in management training and sailing Chuck was able to provide a full days activities for our management team and clients that ranged from business and management training, team-building, great food and very pleasant days of sailing. I highly recommend Cat Ballou for company off-sites and client activities.
Chuck exemplifies the meaning of competence, confidence and professionalism. You sail comfortably, safely, in style; have the best times and learn more every time. Yeah, that good.
Boat particulars
Cat Ballou is spacious comfortable boat, with room to stretch out. She will accommodate you in style and grace. She is capable of great speed but is at her best cruising in the low teens.

Bareboat Charters
QUESTIONS? CALL US 415-543-7333
Spinnaker Sailing offers bareboat charters to qualified sailors, both members and non-members. Please read the information below to learn how you can charter with us on beautiful San Francisco Bay.
We also offer our unique TimeShare Sailing program which is the best alternative to boat ownership. 7 monthly uses for one flat fee!
All students of Spinnaker Sailing's classes get qualified as part of the learning process.
As part of learning with us, we make sure you are 100% prepared and more importantly, 100% confident of your skills on San Francisco Bay
Yes, we DO offer bareboat charters to Qualifed Sailors who didn't go through their sailing instruction with us.
If you've checked around San Francisco Bay you've probably found out every other company doesn't offer bareboat charters to non-members of that company's sailing club. San Francisco Bay is notoriously difficult to sail. The combination of high winds, fast currents and huge ships all around you make SF Bay a sailors mecca, for those with the right skills, or a sailors nightmare for those without. Fear not, for our checkout fee of $300 we'll get you checked out and make sure you're ready for the Bay. Please note: The checkout process is two-fold. If you are ASA or US Sailing Certified send us a copy of your logbook including certifications and you won't have to take the written exams. If you're not, be prepared to take two written exams before we will even schedule you for the on-water checkout. EVERYONE takes the on-water checkout. There's no other way to prove your skills than for one of our captains to witness you underway. The written and on-water can't be done on the same day!
Expectations
- The insurance company requires 8 hours of skippering experience every 60 days to stay current. If you don't have that, you will probably have take a private lesson prior to checking out so you can pass this test.
- As the on water test requires a 100% passing grade to qualify, the point at which you don't pass a skill, we head back to the dock and the test is over. There is no instruction as part of the checkout test. We do offer private lessons which is a great way to tune up prior to taking the on-water test.
- The checkout process is NOT certification. It is just to prove your skills to us so our insurance company will underwrite your sailing. We do offer the ASA certification process. This takes much longer and requires additional fees to the American Sailing Association. Ask us for more info on getting certified.
- Expect the written tests to take approximately 2 hours. There are two test for each level of checkout.
- The on-water checkout test can run from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on your skills.
- You will sign a charter agreement and post a damage deposit for the boat you are checking out on. The deposit ranges from $3000 - $6000 depending on the boat. Any and ALL damage you created while checking out is your responsiblity up to the level of deposit. Over that level the insurance company pays.
- If you don't pass the written exams, you fail the checkout and we won't schedule the on-water portion.
- Here's the summary of what you will be tested on . If you're chartering boats up to 27' you'll need to know up through the BCC (ASA 103) level of testing. Over 27' and you'll be tested all the way through ICC (ASA 104)
Written exams and on-water exams never happen on the same day. We can't keep a captain on standby as some people fail the written exam, thus failing the checkout .
- Written Exams 80%
- On-Water Exam 100% (yes, you need to know 100% of how to setup up the boat, operate the engine, dock the boat, raise sails, MOB, etc. If you think about it, knowing 100% of this skills makes sense to an insurance company writing you a million dollar check...they want to make sure you don't have to cash it.)
- The point at which you fail anything during the on-water test, we head back to the dock. There is no instructional component to the checkout test .
The Procedure
Please completely and accurately fill out this document- Sailing Resume and email it back to us HERE . One we recieve this, we will contact you with the insurance company's requirements for the next step in the checkout, usually a written exam or if you are already certified to the appropriate level, the on-water test.
Private Lesson Prior to Checkout?
This is a great option for those who've never sailed SF Bay but have loads of sailing experience and perhaps are even certified elsewhere. We will pair you with one of our outstanding captains who will make sure you are 100% up to speed on all the skills before your checkout. If you fall short, they'll be honest and suggest a path for you to follow towards checkout or certification. Minimum of 3 hours ($110/hr) plus prorated boat costs.
Alternative to Checkout? Here's a link to our Skippered Charter Page . Call with any questions 415-543-7333
Yes, how about a skippered charter. There are a few advantages to this:
- You don't have to post a damage deposit as our US Coast Guard certifed Captain is in charge.
- You can sail the boat as much or as little as you want
- It can be a GREAT learning experience. Take advantage of the Captain's experience and skill
- At the end of the charter, you simply step off the boat. The Captain pumps the holding tank, docks the boat and cleans her up.
- Saves Time and costs nearly the same as a non-member bareboat charter.
Sailing often?
Think about joining the sailing club. Members save $300 on a single day's charter aboard one of our J/105's versus the non-member price. Members have many other priviledges too. For further details about the club, visit our Sailing Club page.
