    We had an incredible first time sailing experience this weekend! Heather was an amazing Captain who was prepared for anything and she was so accommodating! Even with two kids, two seniors and a dog on board she made everything so easy. We all had so much fun, I would 100% schedule another trip wand absolutely recommend this for any group or family event!

    Best time ever, sailing with Captain Heather Parker of A Fine Day for Sailing... Sausalito, CA.

    My dear friend Gabi got me this 3 hour sunset sailing excursion for my birthday in June. Our first attempt was washed out by the unpredictable early summer weather of the Bay Area. Captain Heather was very accommodating that day and allowed us to go on board her vessel to check it out for the future re-scheduling of our voyage. I got a really good vibe that day from Captain Heather and her Vessel. So, three month or so passed by and it was now Gabi's Birthday in September. I was watching the weather weekly for the perfect day and it came, September 25. We arrived and the vessel was ship shape, plus a very nice spread of cheese, fruit, crackers, chocolate and beverages was waiting for us to enjoy. She is one class act! We shoved off and had the best possible day out on the Bay. Going all around and under the Golden Gate Bridge too. I highly recommend her for all occasions!

    Follow me to the deep blue.

    I was struggling on how to surprise my girlfriend for her birthday and then I found A Fine Day for Sailing. My gf and another of our couple friends spent a beautiful sunset tour around the Bay. From start to finish, Captain Heather was amazing! She answered any questions I had and she had her ship loaded with a plethora of snacks and she also let me bring my own bottle of wine from V. Sattui. Being Coast Guard certified, I could tell she was very professional and passionate about her boat and her sailing prowess. I even had the opportunity to steer the boat which was amazing. Overall, everyone had a lovely time I would definitely recommend you and your party to give her a try. We'll be back for sure.

    See all

    Our two kids had a ton of fun as well, and and as a family we made a great memory today sailing with Captain Heather.

Previously, we took the Freda B on the Wildlife Morning Sail in 2024, which was also fantastic. What makes the Freda B special is the crew. The vessel itself is gorgeous--even the "head" is great! From the moment you board and are greeted by the crew, you know you're in good hands. The safety instructions are thorough, and the crew immediately puts you at ease before setting off. Whether you have a clear night or a little fog (like tonight), the skies are beautiful, the Golden Gate Bridge is magical, and San Francisco twinkles in the distance. The crew meets your every need with kindness, excellent service, and genuine interest in you as a passenger. They're also an interesting bunch--just ask them about themselves! Hot (chocolate!) and cold beverages are available for purchase, including adult beverages. For out of towners...Wear and bring layers. Jacket + sweater/fleece, long pants, beanie hat, gloves if you have them. Blankets available onboard. This is SF Bay 12 months a year - always chilly and the sail is worth every layer of clothing. We celebrated my birthday tonight, and it was perfect. Thank you!

The crew was all smiles, good cheer, and skillful work. They carefully crafted an amazing experience, allowing us to get married with the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay as our backdrop. We could not have asked for a more magical wedding.

    "Buoy" did we have a great time! Participated in a Corporate Regatta Teambuilding activity at…read moreModern Sailing School in Sausalito on 7/13/22. Started with bagged lunches (deli sandwiches), about 25 people total in our large group (international colleagues from North/South America and Europe, minus Australia). Out of the five boats, the female captain was the race director for the day and we had to navigate the differently-colored buoys floating in the water. Not all of the boats were identical (make/model, size, age?) so there was an adjustment/differential to the final times, but all were generally recent model monohull sailboats 30-45 feet long. Grey Goose, Ry Whitt, Survivor, Liberty, and one other boat I can't recall the name of (might've been Attitude Adjustment) were our racing sailboats for the afternoon regatta, teams of 4-5. I was assigned to Liberty, a beautiful 38-foot Beneteau. Our US Coast Guard certified captain/skipper from Modern Sailing School was Bill and also served as our tactician; one of our guys took the driver role/steering to telltales, and another was in charge of the mainsail. Another took one side for the jib sail and I took the other side depending on if we needed to tack or jib (gybe), our fifth person assisted where needed with ropes/wench handles, etc. The weather was fine -- the fog lifted and the sun came out making for great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco city skyline, the Bay Bridge, and Alcatraz. I'd done whitewater rafting and 2-person kayaking before, snorkeling and parasailing but this was my first time sailing! We had a little bit of time to practice and literally "learn the ropes" and fundamentals before the motor was turned off and the official race started at 1:00 PM. The two basic turning maneuvers/techniques with the skipper strategically navigating us through using the wind speed/direction (especially through Hurricane Gulch) and sea state/tides (smooth vs choppy water) was challenging but fun. Not only were we racing each other and trying to round our marks along the course, but there were of course other fishing boats, ferries, Hornblower cruise ships, windsurfers, and paddleboarders in the water too -- even saw a few seals! The race time on the water was around 2 hours for our team (keep in mind the boats were only traveling maybe 8 miles per hour) but lunch was included on land as well as an awards reception (beer/champagne, medals) for all of the teams afterward. We weren't first, but we weren't last either! If you're feeling "nauti" and the line where the sky meets the sea calls you, let your inner Moana/Maui try out wayfinding with the winds in your sails on the SF Bay at Modern Sailing School!
