My Present Hello, my name is Matthew Amendola, and I’m a Charter Broker at Northrop & Johnson, specializing in creating unforgettable yacht charter experiences tailored to each client’s unique vision. Growing up on the North Shore of Long Island gave me a deep passion for the sea and an innate understanding of the yachting industry. I travel extensively to personally inspect yachts and meet with crews worldwide, ensuring the perfect match of vessel, destination, and timing. I take pride in building lasting relationships based on trust, transparency, and consistency. My mission is simple—deliver seamless, personalized charters that exceed expectations every time.
My Past I was born in New York and spent my summers in the South of France visiting family. In my early twenties, I lived in Florence, Italy and traveled extensively throughout Europe, gaining a broader perspective on the international yachting industry. My first-ever boating trip was on a motor yacht in Corsica, France, where I gained a firsthand understanding of the region’s hidden anchorages and cruising routes—insights that now help me craft exceptional, tailor-made itineraries for my clients. Before joining the industry, I worked at Chubb, where I served high-net-worth clients and honed my dedication to exceptional service and attention to detail. Today, I live in New York City, where I can easily meet with clients to discuss their next unforgettable charter experience.
My Future As I progress with Northrop & Johnson, I am dedicated to broadening my expertise in premier yachting destinations and attending industry events to report back to my clients.
My Motto The magic you’re looking for is in the work you’re avoiding
Fast Facts Outside of work, I enjoy golfing, surfing, fishing, and traveling to discover new destinations both on and off the water.
