One of my all-time favorite charter brokers, Ann Landry, has left her position with Merrill-Stevens Yachts and will now be booking charters through the Fort Lauderdale office of Northrop & Johnson.

“We’re very excited. We’re thrilled,” Charlie Petosa, Northrop & Johnson’s chief operating officer, told me by telephone a few minutes ago. He added that an official press release will go out this afternoon, including Ann’s new contact information: alandry@njyachts.com.

I also spoke briefly with Ann, whom I caught on her cell phone as she drove to her new office for her first morning with the company. She, too, is excited about joining Northrop & Johnson–where she will continue to book crewed yacht charters just as she always has.

If you want to learn more about Ann’s experience as a reputable charter broker, you can read this interview that I did with her for the CharterWave Brokers section. Petosa told me he sent a link to that CharterWave page to all of Northrop & Johnson’s employees, as well, so you know the information you’re getting is as up to date as what industry insiders are seeing this morning.
