Our Clients Say it Best….

Derek M.

Good Morning Kent,

We recently completed the purchase of a 1988 Morgan 41 through LYS. I just wanted to say that it was a pleasant experience working with Josh Johnson. He bought a lot of common sense and practical expertise to the resolution of the various issues.
We would obviously recommend your team , and Josh in particular , to anyone who asked.

Best Regards,

Sandie M.

Good morning Kent,

I wanted to give a big shout out to Josh concerning my boat sale. It was long and tough but he was on top of everything when I checked in with him.

He kept me informed. He explained things that I didn’t understand.

And he got the appropriate people to get things fixed or shined up when needed.

I felt like I got top level service. Only thing that would have been better is if he could have made buyers appear much earlier! Haha. A little outside his skill set! But he did do a good job of matching a buyer with the boat I think.

Again,
Thank you,

Kirk and Lisa B.

Dear Kent,

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional service you have provided Lisa and I us as the owner of our Catalina 445. Over the past two decades, Lisa and I have placed our trust in you as our yacht broker for several different sailboats. Each time, you have exceeded our expectations, and our experience with the Catalina 445 has been no exception.

We cannot begin to express the sheer joy and fulfillment we have experienced while sailing our boat in the beautiful British Virgin Islands. The Catalina 445 has become our ultimate gateway to adventure, exploration, and relaxation.

Thank you, Kent, for being an invaluable part of our sailing story. We wholeheartedly recommend Little Yacht Sales to anyone seeking a trusted and exceptional yacht brokerage experience.

With sincere appreciation,

Capt Rick Hartmann

Kent,

I’m writing this email to pass along how impressed I was with Josh Johnson who I recently worked with as my broker. I traveled from Fort Myers to your area to replace a boat I lost in hurricane Ian. At that time, I put a deposit on a Catalina 355 that Josh had listed. From the get go, I found Josh to be very easy to deal with. Not only was he knowledgeable about the boat but more importantly, he was organized, always took my calls and answered my emails promptly. While being very professional in acting as a broker, Josh had a nice, disarming way of interacting with me. I imagine he’s the same with others. As you probably know, buying a boat can at times be stressful and complicated. Josh helped minimize all that. In addition, after returning to the dock after the survey, he arrived with lunch for everyone on the boat. Wow, talk about going the extra mile!

It turned out that I didn’t accept the vessel which had very little to do with the vessel itself. I just found it too small for my charter business. During my time with Josh, I also had some interaction with your staff (Liz and Jordan) who I found to be very cordial and helpful.

I was CEO of a family manufacturing business for many years. If there was one thing I would often say to my staff it was “make it easy and fun for our customers to do business with us.” Seems like you have been saying the same thing.

Please feel free to share this with Josh and post it on your website.

Wishing you and the company well in the future.

Hello Kent,

I just wanted to pass on a word of thanks to Josh Johnson for his work in selling our Shannon 43 Ketch. Josh is solid, unflappable, and a steady hand, as well as an excellent communicator; all things we wanted in an agent.

Best wishes for 2023,

Gregory and Jane Westerfield

Mr Little,

Jane and I want you to know how much we have enjoyed working with Josh Johnson over the years. He has helped us find wonderful boats that match both our budget and lifestyle. Josh has sold two of our boats for us, in less than 30 days! He is currently looking for our next boat.

Josh works hard and is such a professional. We have counted on him after the sale to recommend contractors and workmen, and we value the expertise that he has when he recommends someone to us.

We consider him to be a good friend.

Sincerely,

Ladye Jane Stone

Kent,

I wanted to let you know what a good job Josh did representing me in my recent trawler purchase and brokering the sale of my sailboat.
The trawler was out of state and my first large motor vessel. Josh communicated well between myself and the selling broker to make sure everything was addressed, informed me of all steps during the process and was even present for the survey.

He also went above and beyond in helping with the sale of my Pacific Seacraft Orion. There were some items that I took care of prior to the survey which prolonged the sea trial and Josh helped arrange that in my absence while I was bringing my new boat back.

He is always helpful in sharing his knowledge and makes what could be a stressful time, much easier.
I will definitely recommend him to others.

Thanks.

Kent,

I met Josh eight years ago when my wife and I were searching for a boat. During that process he was more than helpful, and we purchased what was likely to be our last boat. Over the years he has kept in touch about the boat, how it weathered the hurricane and such.

Over the past three years my health has headed the wrong way – not what I had planned for retirement. The past year has been a particular challenge, and the decision was made to sell the boat. Unfortunately, I’m not able to travel now, and when I contacted Josh he was more than willing to take care of any repairs and make ready for sale. It turned out there were several things that needed to be repaired, and he coordinated the work using several contractors. It was all done with first rate services and at reasonable prices.

Through all, Josh was personally very supportive. Selling the boat was not an easy decision to make. I am very appreciative of Josh’s extra efforts in this.

Kent,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your sales team, especially Josh Johnson, for assisting me and my family in purchasing our sailboat. This process, at times, was frustrating, disappointing and exhausting , but after rejecting a few boats , Josh persevered in finding a boat that checked all the boxes, the Mystic. It was a real pleasure working with Josh knowing he had our backs and our best interests at heart.

Thanks again,

Mike T.

Dear Kent,

I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you what a fantastic job Josh Johnson did selling my boat. My boat was/is a 1983 Hunter 31 that I spent a lot of time, money and energy updating and maintaining. Josh was quick to realize that I could sell this boat for far more than I had anticipated. He did a great job of guiding me through the process, helping me set an appropriate price that would get her sold quickly. Everything happened as Josh anticipated and we sold the boat quickly. He kept me well informed regarding what was happening and what to expect. It was well worth the commission. If I’m ever in the boat market again, on either side of the transaction, Josh will be my first call.

Thanks for the great service!
