A note from Missy Johnston
Owner, Senior Yacht Charter Specialist

A former yacht chef, I’ve been a yacht charter specialist since 1988. I’ve traveled to virtually all of the worldwide yacht charter cruise destinations for which I provide charters,  so I know a huge amount about every cruising area and can make great recommendations of those special extras to do and see in each charter location to my clients. I’m the true “Insider!”

For instance, if you’d like to sail through Italy, we have you covered. I’ve bought pottery in Vietri sul Mer. I’ve been to Pompeii as well as Nogomo Spa Garden. I’ve been inside St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice at night. Wherever your travel dreams take you, I can suggest a full itinerary with full photos for each and every day. As owner, I am proud that Northrop-Johnson Yacht Charters Newport is one of the top yacht charter companies in business today, with thousands of very satisfied clients.

Northrop-Johnson Yacht Charters is 100% dedicated to crewed yacht charters from 50 to 200 feet. We are a Northrop and Johnson service mark company, but recently changed our logo to differentiate ourselves from offices that do both yacht brokerage and charter. We are no longer affiliated with those offices that use the logo northrop & johnson brokerage as we exclusively offer crewed yacht charter only and offer every size range of crewed motor yachts, mega yachts, super yachts, sailing yachts, motorsailers, sailing and power catamarans, and Gulets. We spend 100% of our time and effort staying abreast of all there is to know about luxury crewed yacht charter to provide complete and excellent yacht charter information about yacht charter in every worldwide cruising location to all of our clients. We have 30-year relationships with local port agents worldwide, regularly travel to inspect charter yachts and crews, and to discover – for you – the most beautiful beaches; hidden, secret spots; great water sports locations, hiking and bicycling trails; top restaurants, nightclubs, and bars; and great shopping for every cruising destination.
