Northrop and Johnson

Yacht Ownership opens a whole new world to the Owner and his family. Here are some tips on making the experience enjoyable from the beginning:

 1. Find a Yacht Broker you are comfortable with. A good Broker listens to you and provides all the necessary  information for you to make an educated and informed decision. Your broker should also have access to every  aspect of the industry from what yachts are available, crew hiring, ship yards, surveyors, customs etc. The  broker should be with you throughout your entire yachting career as an advisor.

 2. Hire a Captain you are comfortable with. The Captain is the manager of your yacht. The captain should be  proficient in budgets, project management, crew management and have the ability to make your experience  completely enjoyable.

 3. Upon closing on your yacht and taking possession we advise not make wholesale changes from day one to the  yachts interior or design. Enjoy the yacht for six months to a year before making major changes. Often it is  the case where a new owner finds that changes are not always necessary as was first envisioned.

 4. Budgets are always necessary. When the yacht goes into the shipyard the appropriate experts should be  consulted to prepare a budget and discuss your expectations with the shipyard prior to any work beginning.

On occasion a Buyer cannot locate the perfect yacht for his tastes or desires. This Owner has the option to build the perfect yacht. Over the years, yacht brokers of Northrop and Johnson, have found that many Owners who choose to build enjoy that process and experience so much that they will take on a second and third project immediately after taking delivery.
 
The joys of yacht ownership are about the experience, the service and the worldwide adventures that come with ownership. Vist www.njyachting.com or call 978.921.6600 for more info on the lifestyle you deserve.

Over the years, yacht brokers of the Northrop and Johnson office of Boston, have travelled and sold yachts to clients worldwide. Yachting is a lifestyle. The asset, a yacht, is a small part of that lifestyle.

Yachting is filled with adventure, relaxation and bonding with family and friends. If you would enjoy scuba diving in Tahiti, surfing in Australia, fishing in Cabo, sightseeing at Glacier National park in Alaska or relaxing on a sandy beach anywhere in the world than you will enjoy yachting. If you enjoy exotic culinary feasts, six star service and total control of your environment than you will enjoy yachting.

Yachting has also been the venue for many successful business relationships and meetings. Our brokers have been a part of organizing business events on yachts that have seen a 15% increase in productivity by a restaurant chain, an increase in business closings of 40% for a service company involved with jets worldwide and the raising of millions of dollars for charity.

Some yacht owners have had bad experiences with yachting, due largely in part, on the relationship with crew.  On occasion the Captain has found it appropriate to treat the yacht as his own and the owner as a guest. Yacht brokers of the Northrop and Johnson office of Massachusetts offer complete yachting concierge service.  We provide complete  information about a yacht or yachts so the client is able to make the best decision possible for their purchase.   We not only assist our clients in locating the perfect yacht to suit their needs, we also assist our clients in finding crew who would be best suitable for the job.
