Jérôme Lancery

Jérôme Lancery — Yacht Broker, Worth Avenue Yachts Monaco

Jérôme’s connection to the sea began at an early age. He spent much of his childhood sailing and flying hot-air balloons with his father, developing a strong passion for the ocean and an adventurous spirit that would shape his career.

A competitive sailor, Jérôme excelled in windsurfing and, more recently, wing foiling. He also worked as a sailing instructor before becoming captain of a Mangusta 80, giving him valuable first-hand experience of yachts from both an operational and owner’s perspective.

Jérôme began his career in yacht brokerage in the early 2000s with Bristol Marine Yacht International in the South of France, participating in major international yachting events and exhibitions in Cannes and Monaco. After several years outside the yachting industry — including a decade working internationally in petroleum research with CGG Veritas aboard seismic vessels — he studied law in Paris and became a certified sports agent. In 2015, he founded his own agency, representing professional football players and managing their careers and international transfers.

These experiences developed his expertise in international business, negotiation, discretion, and long-term client representation — skills he now brings to his work in yacht brokerage.

Also passionate about horses, Jérôme has attended numerous international equestrian events and is very familiar with the Wellington and Palm Beach communities in Florida.

After returning to the yachting industry several years ago, Jérôme joined Worth Avenue Yachts as a Monaco yacht broker, combining his maritime background, international experience, and strong understanding of client representation. Based at Worth Avenue Yachts’ Monaco office, he works with clients, yacht owners, and industry professionals throughout the Mediterranean, Florida, and the Caribbean, with a particularly strong connection to Palm Beach and South Florida.

Jérôme advises private clients and yacht owners on yacht sales, yacht acquisition, yacht charter, and new yacht construction. Whether a client is searching for a yacht in Monaco, the South of France, Italy, the Mediterranean, Florida, or the Caribbean, he takes the time to understand their lifestyle, cruising plans, family requirements, and long-term objectives before identifying the right opportunities.

He particularly enjoys working with clients on new build, custom yacht, and refit projects, remaining closely involved throughout the entire process — from selecting the right shipyard and defining specifications to visiting construction or refit sites, meeting project teams, and following the project through to completion. His established network and strong relationships with leading shipyards and yacht brands provide clients with valuable industry knowledge, contacts, and opportunities throughout the process.

Jérôme has a particular appreciation for leading European and Italian shipyards and yacht brands, including Sanlorenzo, Feadship, Lürssen, Amels, Heesen, Tankoa, Benetti, Mangusta, Riva, Ferretti, Custom Line, Azimut, and Sunreef. Through his relationships with these and other leading builders, he helps clients understand the differences between shipyards, construction methods, yacht designs, and ownership profiles, ensuring the final choice is aligned with their expectations.

For Jérôme, yacht brokerage is not about the size of the yacht, but about finding the right yacht for the right client. As a superyacht broker, he is equally comfortable assisting a client with their first acquisition of a motor yacht under 20 metres (66 feet) as he is representing a client buying or selling a 70-metre-plus (230-foot) superyacht, working confidently across the full range of yachts and superyachts from 20 to over 70 metres. Many of his clients are active and evolving in their yachting journey, and he particularly values building long-term relationships with them — accompanying them as their lifestyle, family needs, and cruising ambitions develop, often toward progressively larger and more sophisticated yachts.

For yacht owners, Jérôme also assists with yacht sales, charter strategy, and charter marketing, helping identify suitable charter opportunities and qualified clients. His international network connects yacht owners, buyers, and charter clients across Europe, the United States, Florida, and the Caribbean.

Jérôme is attentive, responsive, and detail-oriented, and believes that successful yacht brokerage is built on trust, availability, discretion, and a genuine understanding of each client. Whether purchasing a pre-owned yacht, commissioning a new build, developing a custom project, undertaking a refit, selling a yacht, or exploring charter opportunities, his objective is to find the solution that best fits each client — not simply present what is currently available on the market. For Jérôme, success is not measured by the number of yachts sold, but by the quality of the relationships he builds, the opportunities he creates, and the confidence his clients place in him.
