Madison grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and graduated from Penn State with a degree in international politics and economics. Post-college, she began working in boutique restaurants in the downtown Philadelphia area. In the summer of 2017, she gained interest in the maritime industry while on vacation in Ocean City, Maryland, and was able to tour a galleon-tall ship. At the time, they were looking for crew to join the boat, and she jumped at the opportunity to sail across the Atlantic Ocean.

Madison has been able to travel the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and the Northeast of the US and finish her 100-ton US Coast Guard license, even though she works with the interior department.

Ahoy there! I'm Captain Todd, and I've spent over 35 years navigating the world's waters, clocking in over a quarter million nautical miles on numerous vessels. From the serene Mediterranean to the bustling ports of the Caribbean, Baltic Sea, New England, and Alaska, I have loved every minute of my time on the sea. Hailing from the sunny shores of San Diego, I got my start sailing racing yachts right in the heart of the bay. The thrill of competition captured me, especially after the exhilarating 1987 America's Cup. Since then, I've been fortunate to crew and race on sail yachts across the globe—including the very boat that won the ’87 Cup, Stars & Stripes—with one unforgettable voyage taking me from Venezuela through the Baltic all the way to St. Petersburg, Russia. As my maritime journey continued, I transitioned to skippering motor yachts, with a particular affinity for charter boats. There’s something magical about creating unforgettable experiences for guests as we sail through different ports. With unwavering optimism and a penchant for spreading positivity, I ensure that every moment aboard is nothing short of extraordinary. Whether you're aboard CHASSEUR for an hour or a month, rest assured that your time with me will be an adventure to treasure forever. When I'm not at the helm of CHASSEUR, you'll likely find me on a stand-up paddleboard, catching the wind on a sailboat, or tearing up the trails off-roading.

Patrick, born in Manhattan and raised in Australia and New Jersey, has been on the water since the age of seven when he skippered an eight-foot Optimist sailboat with his older siblings and cousins; since then, he’s never looked back from a life at sea. He began competing soon after and would continue to sail in regattas from the Gulf of Mexico to New England, later sailing for his high school and on the Georgetown University Sailing Team. Patrick's first job was coaching young sailors to race, and he ended that chapter of his maritime career as the Brigantine Yacht Club’s Youth Sailing Program Director. Seeking to lean further into nautical life, Patrick then started working on motorboats: center consoles at first, and later a sportfish that cruised from the Bahamas to the canyons off of the northeast shore. He then moved to Florida in order to be at the global center of the yachting industry, where he started his career on yachts. Now holding his USCG 100-ton license, Patrick continues his passion for working on the water. When he’s not on deck, Patrick is still rarely far from the ocean. You might catch him reliving his sailing days, fishing, waterskiing, or wake surfing.
