Our sincerest appreciation goes out to Rusty Hightower regarding the recent sale of our 1993 Catalina 42 sailboat. Rusty brokered our purchase of the boat 6 years ago. At that time, he identified the perfect boat for us and the purchase could not have gone more smoothly. Now our marine interests have evolved, and once again, Rusty brokered the sale of our boat in the most efficient manner. He quickly located the new owners even before the boat was listed on their website. Amazing!Sincerely,

Josh sold our boat in less than a week. Very professional.

Many thanks to Josh for the quick and easy sale of my boat. I had a lot of questions and concern\s and he addressed each quickly and professionally. Thanks again Josh.

Kent and John,
Thanks again for making the Sole Mate sale happen. The buyers and two other lookers who came to see the boat, said they had spent a long time looking at the pics on the website, and that the pics gave a very accurate view of our boat, once they saw it in person. Having various angles of view of our boat helped them get a good feel for it. Good job!Thanks. Give us a shout if you’re in the Dallas area.

I recently purchased a cruising Catamaran from Little Yacht Sales in Kemah Tx. brokeraged by Capt. Rick Weiler, and I am here to tell you how happy I am with Little Yacht Sales in general and with Capt. Weiler in particular.Capt. Weiler has been sailing for 50 years and has been a broker for 10 yrs, so he has personally encountered just about any situation and challenge dealing with yachts. He is a Certified Yacht Broker, is past president of the Gulf Coast Yacht Brokers Association and has a vast number of connections in the trade, including mechanics, documentation services,electricians, general maintenance, etc, etc.
He was with me at every step of the way. Whatever issue we found he solved through his extensive network. He had satisfactory answers to all my inquiries.Capt Weiler negotiated the deal for me and it was straight forward; no BS. It was a win-win outcome and I got the price I wanted.
Capt. Weiler was accessible all the time, returned my calls in a timely fashion and anticipated whatever was to come down the road, so we were always prepared; no surprises.I was impressed with Capt. Rick Weiler, not only with his effectiveness and expertise, but even more pleased with his integrity and his reputation.
The sailboat I chose had many issues (which I knew before I bought), Capt Weiler helped me coordinate and resolve all of them. He had many opportunities to profit from me, yet he was most interested in my satisfaction and placed my welfare and interests above his. He is strictly honest and truthful. Although he mostly deals in very expensive yachts he treated me as if I were a VIP , even though my catamaran is only 35 ft
He has also continued to help me with wise advice and referrals after the sale.So in summary, I rate Capt Rick Wiler and Little Yacht Sales as exceptional, for making a pleasant experience of the purchase of my boat.

Kent:I wanted to let you know how I appreciate the way Josh helped keep the issues that came up with our Catalina in proper perspective to the new owners. Any one of them might have been enough for them to have had concerns and lose interest. Josh also kept them going on a schedule for a prompt closing. I know that you played a major role in all of this too, but I wanted to recognize Josh’s many helpful contributions in this. As they say, success has many fathers.

Thanks again!

I would like to recommend Rusty Hightower for selling your vessel.I was a non-boat owner, since I inherited it upon my brothers passing. Rusty and the team at Little Yacht Sales took very good care of us. Everything was explained to us from A-Z. We had to transfer all the vessel documentation from my brothers name into our name in order to sell it. We were walked thru this process as well. Rusty gave us good advice in the care and maintenance of the boat. He guided us when we got an offer and helped us through the whole process.

Rusty was totally amazing and was readily available when questions arose. We could not have done this without his guidance and understanding because he was dealing with a novice in this process.

Sincerely,

Kent,

Just a quick note of thanks. The sale of my Catalina 350 represents the 5th transaction that Little Yachts has handled for me. Josh Johnson,miracle Man, did a fantastic job during these trying times in selling my boat in a matter of weeks. As usual, Josh handled the transaction in a very professional manner and closed a deal that all parties were happy with.

Again, thank you LYS and especially Josh.

Kind regards,

Kent,

I believe Little Yacht Sales (and maybe its precursor?) has just sold the same Catalina 387 for the third time: new as “Dionysus” in 2004, to us as second owners in 2011 (we re-named her “Knot Working”), and now to her third owners this past week. Congratulations and thank you for your efforts.

More importantly thanks to Josh Johnson for making it happen (and by the way Josh was involved in both of our sales). His creative deal making made this one. Plus, I’m told we ran into three (3) unrelated and unforeseen problems on the day of the survey and test sail. Josh solved all of them with some help from three (3) contractors who responded immediately, and we were able to close. Our best to you, Josh!

Regards,

We worked with Ken Joyce at Little Yachts. We have met him a boat show. Our anxiety was high. We were buying our first boat. Our time was limited because of work commitments. Ken was informative and he inspired trust. We decided to buy a boat sight-unseen (like buying online!) and ship the boat to our home — halfway across the country. Friends said we were crazy to buy without first seeing a boat. But we are so pleased with our boat. It brings us peace and joy. Ken and Little Yachts provided value and a predictable experience.
