Kent and Liz Little founded Little Yacht Sales in 2010 with one goal: to give clients the best advice, expertise and service before, during and after the sale.
We believe in an informative, personal approach rather than a high-pressure one. Yacht sales aren’t a retirement hobby for our brokers — it’s their chosen profession. Many are licensed captains or live aboard, all of them cruise, and between them they know both power and sail, which few offices in the country can say.
There are few offices nationally whose brokers are versed in both. Ours are, and have spent their careers exclusively in yacht sales — so we can find the right boat for you, whether it’s here or out of state.
Built to push limits, made to explore together.
Three new 28-foot models — the Speedster, the T-Top and the Explorer — on one stepped hull developed with specialist Navia. It planes faster, accelerates harder and runs drier, and with single or twin outboards it exceeds 50 knots.
Performance and versatility. Redefined.
Inspired by the Sun Odyssey 410, with an inverted bow, a pronounced hull chine and twin rudders for performance you can feel and control you can trust. Four sail plans and three keels, including a swing keel — and a bright, modern saloon for real life aboard.

We frequently take on listings that sat unsold for up to a year with other firms, and often sell them in less than a month. Here is how your boat is put in front of the right buyers.
Liz and I enjoy boating on Clear Lake and along the Texas Coast. We have owned more than 20 boats and kept them in Texas, Florida, and the Bahamas.
Buyers and sellers, first boats and fifth ones — in their own words, from our Google reviews.
I have been working with Kent Little for more that 30 years. He and his people are extremely knowledgable about all aspects of boat ownership, boat selection, financing, documentation and maintenance after the sale. Wonderful selection of boats on their docks. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful experience working with Kent Little and Little Yacht Sales to purchase our 44-foot Leopard catamaran. From start to finish, the process was seamless, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable.
We’ve bought several (4) boats through Little YS and sold one. Their back office makes the transfers easy and seamless. I value Kent’s advice and have relied on it through these transactions. Kent and his brokers are knowledgeable and have always given me their time even when I was just kicking the tires so to speak. And when it was time to get serious they helped me get the deals done.
Little Yacht Sales is one the of the best yacht brokers in the US. We have bought and sold a number of boats over the years and we have relied on Little Yacht Sales for every transaction. Paul Stehfest is the most patient and knowledgeable broker. And Jordan in the office is wonderful for making sure all paperwork is signed and delivered where it needs to go. If you are on the market to buy or sell a boat you won’t go wrong here.
Little Yacht Sales has helped me buy and sell various boats for years. They are always professional and efficient. Kent Little and Ken Joyce always go the extra mile with customer service! If you are buying or selling a power or sailboat, I highly recommend Little Yacht Sales!
Outstanding experience over 3 years looking for Great Loop boats. Working with Burke Deveroux was a pleasure. Very patient, very knowledgeable, and gave great advice. Highly recommended.
Working with Sailboat Mike Shebester, and continuing all the way through the documentation team, was a truly enjoyable and professional experience. We explored a variety of boat sizes and types, and Mike was experienced with and knowledgeable about all of them. He helped us dial in our ‘For now’ boat, and opened our eyes regarding future possibilities. The team concept reflected during his interactions with management and others was rewarding and confirms Little is a big deal in our small world.
Selling a 44 year old Trintella sloop, albeit in prime condition and updated, was a challenge, but Little Yacht Sales’s team managed to accomplish the task in a very difficult market. Good job!
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.
The Little Yacht crew did a great job selling my sailboat! From listing to closing it was the easiest transaction ever! Thanks guys!
Our offices at Pier 6/7 in Waterford Harbor and Pier 13 at South Shore Harbor sit in the middle of two of the finest marinas on the Texas coast — within walking distance of hundreds of listings.
Buying, selling, or still deciding — tell us what your needs are and a broker will be in touch. There’s nothing like being on the water, and we’d like to help you get there.
