As the press continues to slam the economy and bring panic and concern to most of the world I can assure you that things are not all bleak. The large Yacht Sales market is fairly strong for Northrop and Johnson of Boston. Not as strong as it was several years ago but lets face facts. It was crazy several years ago and spun out of control. Prices were inflated by 30 percent and more. In today’s large yacht market there seems to be more of a correction to reality and in rare cases bargain sales. The small boat market is devistated. Banks were lending to Buyer’s who could not afford to own a boat. As a result there is a large supply of bank owned boats, Mostly up to 50′. The middle market is flat for the most part (50-100′) however recently there has been a flurry of activity.

Yacht Charters are coming back strong. Paula and Bridget recently attended the Antigua charter meeting and found the buzz to be promising and uplifting. Yacht Charters are new to Northrop and Johnson of Boston. The office is already experiencing success through social networking and luxury events.

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.
