I have nothing but great things to say about both locations Sausalito and Alameda Club Nautique and…read morethe experience we have had while getting BBC Certified. We absolutely recommend CN for a steady journey of proper education and experiences getting certified with awesome qualified instructors. Having had no sailing experience or even interest prior, my friend convinced me to sign up with her and begin this journey of courses, tests and certifications to open doors to a future I never imagined. I had no reason to say no so we signed on and the excitement began. It took us almost a year but we are now BBC Certified and ready to travel! She has plans to continue to Coastal Passage Making and even Offshore Passage Making, while I am content with destination pleasure sailing :) Everyone in both offices and all of our instructors have been amazing in all aspects of their program.... communication, instruction, preparation, encouragement, and most importantly... safety! And the boats! We have been spoiled with the nicest boats in the bay! If you're shopping around for sailing programs trying to find the right club... this one is definitely the right choice. Thanks CN!

After extensive research and 22 years of sailing/powerboating in SF Bay, I can confidently say that…read moreClub Nautique is the premium place to charter a sailboat or powerboat.  The US Sailing Classes is a great format too for newer sailors and powerboaters.  My family and I have spent 60 days on the water in the last 12 months with CN and it's definitely a professionally-run operation. The best thing you will find is the fleet condition ... nowhere else will you be able to charter 1-3 year-old boats that are maintained, clean, and shiny.  Think electronic instruments, autopilot, climate control, powered winches (on the larger boats), and bluetooth audio systems inside and out.  The presentation and feeling of a premium charter is unparalleled.  The staff are serious about their jobs; the owners of the business treat boats and members with prompt, service-oriented action. As far as pricing goes, I've also been a part of other clubs in the SF Bay and CN is on the higher end for a reason.  The CN boats are nice and you won't be sailing on 20-year old boats with inoperable systems that are accepted as normal.  There is always fleet availability via an online booking system.  The community is great and getting like-minded crew or joining social events has been easy for my family. Other reviewers have complained about having to pay for expensive repairs and this is a good chance for an active CN member to tell it to you straight.  The boats are owned by fellow club members and if someone broke something on your boat, wouldn't you want it fixed too?  For new boaters, please be aware that everything on a boat costs way more than you think it does because most parts do not benefit from large economies of scale like the auto industry.  Things require individualized labor to repair and as any boat owner will tell you, it's never simple because ... it's a boat.  Sailing and powerboating is fun, but with it comes an associated spend. Both Sausalito and Alameda bases are excellent. Enjoy and be safe on the water.

I excuse myself somewhat since I'm a boat owner and not a professional sailmaker. Robin's instructions were terrible and I questioned him before authorizing the the order but relying on his reassurance I ordered the stack pack for my 50 foot catamaran which was in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. I picked up the stack pack in Sausalito and. brought to PV. it was HUGE and fit like stink. Long story short, Robin agreed to pay half the cost to recut the cover but it's still over size and can never be made to fit right. Another gripe; the hardware he provided was way too small. When I told him, he said he provides the same size lazy jack lines to all size boats regardless of size. To me, that's ridiculous. Would you use the same size halyard on a 50 foot catamaran as a 20 foot Hobie Cat? After decades in the business Robin has mastered one thing....excuses.. JJ Catamaran Ziva just
