I met with Kent one week before hurricane Ike struck, I had come down to see a Beneteu 37. Kent had just sold it so we looked at a 34 and just talked for a while about what we were looking for in a new boat. Between September 08 and May 09, I must have called, emailed, stopped by for a visit or otherwise contacted him more than a dozen times. It did not matter if I was asking about his listing, his competitor’s listing, an out of state listing, or his general opinion of a make of boat, he was always freindly and helpful. He never pressured me in any particular direction or to make a decision. In May of 09, we finally decided on a Beneteau 37, the same place we started 8 months before. We took delivery and have been very happy since. I can recommend Kent without the slightest hesitation and I will buy my next boat from him also.

Kent,
A note to thank you and all the Kent folks for working with us on the purchase and commissioning of the first Catalina 445 in Texas. I am especially grateful for your traveling with us to the Catalina factory to assist in the outfitting process.
I’m amazed at the level of service we received after the commissioning from your staff as well as Catalina. This is how customer service should be defined. Thanks again and smooth sailing.

Just want to say thanks again for the help in buying and
selling the boat. It became part of the family and was tough to let it go.
I hope I can give you some more business in the future.
Thanks again,

My father purchased a 47′ Catalina from Kent in 2007. In 2008, about a year after I graduated from college, my dad passed away and the economy took a turn for the worst. My family and I were not in the position to realistically keep the 470 so we turned to Kent. Kent treated us like family. Over a period of a few months and 3 boat deals later Kent was able to help us get a fair deal out of the 47′ and left me with a 34′ Catalina. Kent was a pleasure to work with.

Kent Little is the most knowledgeable and professional yacht broker I have ever worked with. I have purchased two boats with Kent, one of which we have put more than 20000 miles under the keel wandering around in the Caribbean. Anytime I have had a question, a problem, or an issue, Kent has been there with his contacts and his expertise. When you buy a boat with Kent Little you get a lifetime of service after the sail and a good friend in the deal.

Kent has sold two sailboats for us and in each case I have been most happy with his professionalism and manner in which he treated both the buyer and the seller. His ability to locate suitable buyers (even in these difficult times) is remarkable. To me, Sealake and particularly, Kent is the only place to buy/sell a sailboat in the Galveston bay area.

We initially met Kent through an online search for sailboats in the Texas area. It was a stroke of good luck, as it turned out Kent was knowledgeable about most boats anywhere especially in Texas. We are new at sailing and with that lack of nautical background, we could have opened ourselves up to any sort of slick salesman’s tactics. Everything I asked Kent about, he responded with an honest, forthright answer. He never tried pressure sales, but we were enlightened as to what type of boat we would enjoy for our type of sailing. Although we slightly broke our budget our commitment to the quality of boat we were wanting, steered our decision more than Kent had to. Kent is a true sales pro and I would whole-heartedly refer him to a friend and I do hope he can be our broker when we upgrade. And if it is any further proof as to how positively both parties feel after the sale, using Kent… we bought the boat from the Taggarts. Thanks again Kent for your help and friendship!

Rick was a great asset to have on this trip. Thanks again Rick!!! If anybody out there is looking for crew give him a shout, I can’t recommend him enough, he even cooks!!! Also, if you are looking to buy or sell a boat he can help you out.

Sailing has been a true joy to both my wife and I, so it was a tough decision to sell our Catalina 310. Having ruined my knee badly, I finally admitted that a wet, rolling, pitching deck was no longer the place for me. Josh worked hard and sold the boat in 7 weeks and apologized profusely because “it took so long”. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome and we appreciate all the effort Josh put into finding a new home for our sweet boat.

To whom it may concern,
I recently purchased a boat with the expert help of Capt. Rick Weiler. I wanted to let you know what a great experience it was to work with Rick. His wealth of knowledge and contacts within the local boating community were a tremendous help as he was able to provide me with information on the costs and lead times for work that may need to be performed or possible upgrades. Thank You Capt. Rick for all of your hard work and dedication! I would highly recommend Capt. Rick Weiler to anyone who is in the market to purchase a boat!!!!~Most Sincerely,
