The best of luxury, quality and performance.

Little Yacht Sales was created to give clients a more professional yacht brokerage experience — from a team with well over 150 years of combined experience, exclusively in yacht sales.

Our goal

Advice, expertise and service, before, during and after the sale.

The goal of Little Yacht Sales is simply this: to give our 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, because that is what serves our clients best.

Our experience finding, listing and selling both sailboats and power yachts is second to none, locally and nationwide. Few offices in the country have brokers versed in both, who have spent their careers exclusively in yacht sales — which lets us find the right boat for you whether it's here or out of state.

Our foundation is client satisfaction, and hundreds of our clients have said so in writing.

Kent Little formed Little Yacht Sales after a career in professional yacht sales — 19 years of it at Sea Lake Yacht Sales — to give clients a more engaging brokerage experience. He invites only experienced brokers, who can serve his clients with the same expertise he has given them for decades.

The founder

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. Today, you can often find us aboard “Griffy,” our Mainship 34, at our Waterford office or Lakewood Yacht Club.

It keeps us near our clients, and within walking distance of hundreds of premier later-model listings. And for clients in Florida, there is LYS Key West.
