Shop for a Yacht Broker, then a yacht

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

As you begin your journey in the world of yacht ownership or to charter a yacht, it is easy to get lost in the quest to find the ultimate yacht.  From website to website, location to location, you risk losing countless hours of your time and being misled by inaccruate information. There is an alternative available, shop for a yacht broker first and then shop for a yacht.

An experienced professional yacht broker understands that his role is to communicate with you, listen to your needs, utilize his experience and industry networking skills and the resources offered by his company to provide you with a comprehensive flow of information.  The professional yacht broker is not a salesman and should not be trying to sell you on any particular yacht. He is your advocate and his job is to find the right yacht for you at the best possible terms.

A broker’s business is yachts.  His success depends on establishing long-term relationships with his clients.  Therefore, a broker must put the interests of his client first and guide him to the correct end result.  Clients can take great comfort knowing the transaction and personal details are kept confidential.  At Northrop and Johnson of Massachusetts, our brokers assist with the many details surrounding the purchase.

May 22-25 found Steve Doyle, yacht broker of the Boston Northrop and Johnson office, in Monaco with clients for the Monaco Grand Prix. Steve’s description of the patronage was as follows; “The Super Bowl, Kentucky Derby and Nascar combined do not equal the per capita wealth of the patrons attending the Monaco Grand Prix.” Steve’s clients are building twenty marinas in Abu Dhabi, UAE.  In November of 2009 the Aldar owned Race Track marina will host an F-1 grand prix auto race. Steve has secured the charter rights from Aldar to handle the yachts chartered by sponsors, team owners and guests.  For more information to charter a yacht for the Formula One race in Abu Dhabi, please contact steve@njyachting.com.
