My Present
Hi, I’m Ann Landry and I’m a Charter Broker at N&J. I have the pleasure of arranging yachting holidays for my valued clients on exceptional yachts with amazing crew in the world’s premier destinations, including the Mediterranean, Thailand, Tahiti, Alaska, Galapagos, the Bahamas and the Caribbean. My job has taken me to these exciting destinations and more, so it is easy to understand why I love my job.
My Past
As a native of New Orleans, a port city rich in culture and history, travel and adventure have always been high on my agenda.
Starting my post-university life as a clinical biochemist, I secured a position at NASA’s Johnson Spacecraft Center as lead tech of the biochem lab for America’s astronaut team. Skiing took me to Aspen for 10 years and a position in on-hill ski area management. A sailing holiday in the Bahamas and Caribbean led to a whole new life experience. I was hooked on the sea, bought a boat and cruised the California coast, Hawaii and through the Panama Canal to the Virgin Islands where I put the yacht in charter service.
My hands-on yachting experience opened the door to a position as a charter broker in the Caribbean, which quickly led to a move up to the big boat market in Fort Lauderdale.
I love what I do – I love the sea, boats, yachting industry culture, and - most importantly - the colleagues with whom I have worked for many years – they are the most interesting people from every country and continent.
My Future
Next steps: continue to explore, grow and learn!
My Motto
I can do it if I believe that I can.
My Outside-office Life
I enjoy travel, the beach, tennis, anything outdoors, theatre and movies, fine art and photography, and reading.
