Little Yacht Sales

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.

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.

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.

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

I am writing to say thank you for the great experience I had with your company while buying my boat. Josh Johnson was extremely helpful and went beyond all expectations to make the process as painless as possible. Very good and professional work, thank you LYS! Thank you

Hi Kent,

My wife and I have been looking at sailboats for over 10 years. During that time, I have sailed close to 15,000 miles on a great variety of boats, and have looked at so many boats, old and new all around the country. We are regulars to the Kemah area and often walk the docks around your brokerage. We have even had a boat under contract with you all some years back, but we ultimately decided that one was not the right fit. We have run into Josh Johnson so many times during our visits and strolls, and he has always been super kind and informative. A few weeks back, we headed to Kemah for a little relaxation around the marinas, and ran into Josh as we so often do. He asked if we had seen “the Morgan Classic”, I said no, he said we should, and I said really. Okay. We met up later and as he walked us to the boat, he told us about her in great detail. By the time we stood amidships on the pier, I looked at Josh and said, “I think I am going to buy this one!” Later, at the haulout, I asked Josh why he showed this one to us. He said that I was always looking for the impossibly clean and updated old boat, and this was just such a boat. He was right, and we were fortunate to run into Josh that day. That of all the people he shows boats to and meets and talks to, that he remembered what we were looking for, put it all together and provided us with our dream boat is just fantastic and impressive. We could not be more pleased with our purchase and our new adventure.

A big thank you to Josh, and to Little Yacht Sales!

Kindest regards,

Dion and Lisa
