ABOUT
Foredeck Yachting Solutions is all about safety and managing expectations. We will work with you to safely fulfill your needs by providing licensed captains and exceptionally qualified crew to deliver your yacht to its destination, on budget and on schedule.
Captain Tod Yankee and his team of professional crew are ready to deliver your yacht, power or sail. In addition to serving as a delivery captain, Tod has competitively raced sailboats throughout the US, Caribbean and Mediterranean as well as many offshore races including seven Newport-Bermuda and eight Marblehead-Halifax races. In addition to owning his own boat, he has extensive cruising and delivery experience on both power and sail vessels logging over 50,000 miles at sea. Tod holds a USCG 50-Ton Masters license with Towing and Sailing endorsements. He is also certified in First Aid and CPR.
Foredeck Yachting Solutions is able to tap into an extensive group of qualified, experienced and resourceful yacht delivery professionals to ensure that your vessel is handled with first-class service. In addition to our experience, we make sure that each one of our team members is good natured and mature. We have learned how important these characteristics can be when underway as well as during pre-departure and post-arrival.
"In mid-November, we found the perfect boat for living aboard and cruising: a Tartan 4400. The only issue: she lay in Portsmouth, Rhode Island and we are in Annapolis. Unable to make the delivery ourselves, we contacted Tod, who came highly recommended. Tod identified an upcoming weather window and arranged the trip within days. It took him and his crew just over 2 1/2 days to make the trip, including a stop in Atlantic City for fuel.
Besides his prompt and professional delivery, Tod also provided us with a detailed list of issues and quirks he and the crew found on the delivery. While all minor, the list proved very useful as we got to know the boat.
We would not hesitate to recommend Tod and his team for yacht delivery and services."
