I have had many repeat customers and I believe in giving thorough personal service. My job is to find the right boat for you, help you equip it for your needs and make sure that you are satisfied. I can help you through all the steps in getting the boat you want from deciding which boat is right for you, to equipping it and even finding financing if you need it. Making sure you are happy with your purchase is what has led me to have so many repeat customers and customer referrals.

Gregory and jane w., capt rick hartmann, larry reiland.

He was very instrumental in getting our 1993 Hunter Legend 40.5 sold and I want you to know what a good job he did for us. I feel that he went up and beyond in getting the old boat ready to be sold and taking care of us and the buyer in a fair and equitable manner.

I am  Captain Bella Walker, an experienced sailor, and a licensed 100 ton captain spending the majority of my life on the water. From my childhood days sailing the Bahamas on a CT56 sailboat with my family, to embarking on a semi-solo adventure sailing my own 37ft sailboat from Kemah, TX to Sarasota, FL and back. A true test of skill and determination.

Florida and my boat were my home for 2 years, where I honed my craft amid its diverse waters. I’ve also served as a charter yacht captain in both Clear Lake, Texas, and Sarasota, Florida. I enjoy helping people explore the beauty of the lifestyle on the water, whether it’s just weekend boating or full-time cruising.

From calm days to storms faced, the sea has been my teacher, imparting respect, adaptability, and a love for conservation. My goal is to listen to your wants and needs and find the best suited boat that fits your lifestyle and help turn your dreams into reality.

As a boat sales professional for Little Yacht Sales, I strive for a satisfying experience when purchasing a new or used yacht or listing your vessel with LYS. You will enjoy my service and support throughout the process. As a current owner of both sail and powerboats, I have always expected a high level of service as a buyer or a seller. Being meticulous and detail oriented with the maintenance and upkeep of the vessels I own, I am concerned with safety, quality, workmanship, and value. I therefore commit all my resources to the process. I will engage you as a buyer or seller to ensure all your needs are met. I will be there during the process to making an informed decision on the purchase of a new or used vessel or when representing you as the Listing Broker for your vessel.

I was introduced to boating at eight years old sailing a Sunfish on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I purchased my first boat at eleven years old. After growing up in Philadelphia and spending many summers on the Atlantic beaches of New Jersey-Barnegat Bay, Long Island, NJ and surrounding waters I moved to Bethesda, Maryland. As a young teenager I spent summers on the Chesapeake Bay at a YMCA Sailing Camp and polished my nautical skills. Summers on “The Bay” served as my foundation for safe and knowledgeable boating and a lifetime of enjoyment on the water.

Since moving to Florida in 1979 I have spent time on the water in the Florida Keys and around Sarasota Bay, Tampa Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and surrounding waters. I cruised the BVI’s on my first bareboat charters and later skippered two bareboat charters, Croatia (2016) and Greece (2017). I enjoy sailing and powerboating on small to larger vessels. I have certifications with the ASA-American Sailing Association, the RPBA-Recreational Power Boat Association, US Powerboating, and the NSBC-National Safe Powerboating Council. The ASA IPC-International Proficiency Certificate is the credentials needed o be a bareboat skipper around the world. I am instructor qualified to teach ASA certifications and RPBA-Recreational Powerboat Association, US Powerboating, and BoatUS/NSBC instructor certified to teach powerboating certifications. I currently hold a USCG 100 Ton Master Captain license. In 2019 I started Florida Sailing and Powerboating School and Charters. I became a licensed Florida Boat Broker in 2019. I have been a licensed pilot since 1979 with an instrument rating, and jet aircraft endorsements.

I’m a retired Accredited Marine Surveyor with over 20 years of experience inspecting all types of sailboats, (monohull, catamaran and trimaran) and power boats ( Express Cruisers, Motor Yachts, Trawlers, Performance racing boats, Sport Fish, and Yachts up to 98 feet). After boating on Lake Texoma in North Texas for many years, I purchased a passage making 46 ft blue water sailboat in Seattle. From there I sailed to Canada then down the west coast of the United States to Mexico, transited the Panama Canal and ended up on the east coast of Florida.

In 2013 I moved to Sarasota, Florida and have enjoyed the southwest coast of Florida for the last nine years. I teamed up with Little Yacht Sales in 2017 to serve the southwest coast of Florida and beyond selling all kinds of boats while representing both buyers and sellers. I look forward to assisting you in selling your boat or in finding your first boat or a replacement boat.  I have experience working directly with boat manufacturers like Catalina Yachts and Nordhavn, broadening my experience and knowledge in the sailboat and trawler markets.

I am confident my 20 plus years of experience as a marine surveyor along with your input will allow me to assist you in finding the right boat for your intended use. My time in the boating industry and knowledge of most all boats, power and sail, will serve you well when it comes time to sell your boat.

I look forward to the opportunity to earn your business, but more importantly I look forward to getting to know you and spending time on the water with you to make your boating experience a great one!

“Sailboat Mike” Shebester

As my name implies, I am someone that most people associate with sailing even though I have a passion for all types of boating. I learned to sail over 50 years ago and have been active in both cruising and racing. Although I am currently a land dweller, I lived aboard for over 20 years on a variety of boats. The thing that I love about sailing is that it can be either the most relaxing or intense activity that you can participate in depending on whether you are cruising or racing.

I have a Bachelors of Science in Industrial Engineering and a background in the oil industry. I started my yacht selling career representing Beneteau Sailboats in 1992. I joined the Little Yacht Sales Team in May of 2022. I am a Certified Professional Yacht Broker.

For almost 30 years I have been successful in selling boats, but I am not a high-pressure salesman. My customers keep coming back to me for my product knowledge and my listening ability. Once I find out what features you want in a boat and how you are going to use it, I take my experience and product knowledge to steer you to the right boat. Let me help you find the right boat for you.

I love boats…everything about them. I enjoy being on the water, the feel and the visual.

I have owned a boat of one size or another since I was 18 years old. I purchased my first boat, a used 14ft Sears Gamefisher trihull, with funds from working at a grocery store.  Through the years, I have progressed up in the size of boats but that feeling of boat ownership has never changed. I have many years of practical knowledge gained by owning sailboats and power boats. I have cruised the Texas gulf coast in my 34 Oday sailboat. I currently own a 40’ trawler that I have lived aboard on and off for 9 years. Over the past 9 years, I have had the opportunity to cruise my trawler through the entire gulf coast, Florida Keys, and the Bahamas.

If you are interested in Trawler style boats for cruising the Great Loop, Bahamas, or a comfortable liveaboard, I have a wealth of information to share with you.

If you are looking at sailboats for local coastal cruising or heading to the islands, I also have a wealth of information to share with you.

If a new sailboat is in your future, we represent Catalina and Lagoon, two of the most popular manufacturers in sailing today. With Catalina’s new line of True North power boats, we are excited to now bring new powerboats to the market along with new sailboats.

If you are looking to sell, I would like the opportunity to represent your boat with Little Yacht Sales. Let me put my experience and passion for boats to work for you.

It is my goal to share my love and knowledge for boats, cruising, and the boating lifestyle. I want to help you find the right boat while making the process educational, enjoyable, and stress free.

My name is Captain Rick Weiler and I’m a USCG licensed 100 ton master with sailing and towing endorsements (now retired). I’ve worked as a master carpenter, construction manager and in home sales for over 25 years in Northern Michigan. Since moving to Texas in 2006, I’ve pursued my passion in boating and have worked as a yacht broker with LYS since January of 2011.  I’ve been a Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB) since 2014 and have been an involved member of the Yacht Brokers Association of American (YBAA). In our local chapter of YBAA, the Gulf Coast Yacht Brokers Association (GCYBA), I’ve been an active member as well as serving as President for several terms.

I’ve spent 35 years of my life in Northern Michigan in the Traverse City area on the coast of Lake Michigan. I taught myself how to sail when I was 12 years old and have been sailing ever since. I started by sailing dinghies, Wind Surfers (the very first ones) and Hobie Cats and I’ve owned a Hunter 23, a Newport 27, Island Packet 31 and a Hardin Voyager 44 ketch which I lived aboard for 7 years. I’ve sailed all over northern Lake Michigan. I kept my boat in the North Channel of Lake Huron for three years (this is one of the 10 most beautiful areas in the world to cruise!). I’ve been on many deliveries of friends’ boats in the Great Lakes, up and down the East Coast, Chesapeake Bay, Gulf of Mexico and most recently, throughout the Caribbean Islands. I have extensive experience with modern sailing Catamarans, logging nearly 10,000 miles offshore on them. I can share with you my experiences on these very popular vessels.

As a professional Captain, I’ve gotten to work on a 191 ton Tow Boat pushing tanker barges through the Galveston Bay, ICW up to New Orleans and up the Mississippi to Baton Rouge and the Atchafalaya River. I also spent two years working for Coastal Crewboats on a 42’ crew boat running workers and supplies to the wells and production platforms in Galveston Bay.

I have the professional and personal experience to assist you in selling and buying your new yacht, regardless of whether it is a 25’ sailboat or a 100’+ Mega yacht, located here in Galveston Bay or located in a foreign country . I bring the necessary skills and background to get the job done.

Over these years of selling yachts, I’ve sold 100’s of vessels, specializing in both Monohull and Catamaran Sailing Yachts, Motor Yachts and Trawlers. Whether you are interested in Coastal Cruising or Bluewater Adventures, or getting a Trawler to transit the Great Loop or just acquiring a boat for weekend “Get Aways” on the water, Capt. Rick has the experience to assist you in picking the right boat for your needs.

Having such broad experience with and interests in yachting, I really don’t specialize in any one area. Here is a sampling of the types of vessels and brands I’ve been involved with over the years. Sailing is where it all started for me on Monohulls and from there I graduated to Catamarans. Coastal cruising turned into Bluewater cruising. I have extensive knowledge of the popular monohull brands: Catalina, Beneteau, Jeanneau, Hunter, Dufour, Hanse, Tayana, Passport, Shannon, Bristol, Cape Dory, Amel, Endeavor, Pearson, Hans Christian, Hardin, SeaMaster, Hylas, Taswell, and Ta Shing. I also have extensive knowledge of the Catamaran brands:  Lagoon, FP Fountain Pajot, Leopard, Voyage, HH Design, Chris White designs, Gemini and SeaWind, In Power, I’ve worked with all types of vessels including Commercial, Motor Yachts, Sport Fishing, Sedans, Trawlers and Center Consoles. I am very experienced in seamanship and boat handling and have 100’s of hours of professional training. I’ve handled boats up to 70’ and have been involved with even larger vessels.

Over the years, I’ve also developed effective systems to sell your yacht quickly and get the best price for her. Buying or Selling, I get the job done.

Yachts For Sale In Kemah

Kemah is located southeast of Houston on the south side of Clear Creek Channel that connects Clear Lake with Galveston Bay. Set on a half-moon pocket on Galveston Bay, the town is 25 miles northeast of Galveston. Founded in 1898 by John Henry Kipp and James H. Bradford, who owned most of the land that they subdivided into lots to establish the town, they initially called Evergreen. To establish a post office, the town had to be renamed because the name Evergreen was already taken. In 1907 it was renamed Kemah, Indian for “wind in my face,” descriptive of its location on the Bay and also fitting for boat lovers.

Kemah began as a 177-acre land grant from the Mexican government to early colonist, Michael Gouldrich in 1824. It was also “home” to the French pirate, Jean Lafitte in the early 1800s. After Gouldrich mysteriously disappeared, the property changed hands several times until it was acquired by the Kipp and Bradford families who established the town of Evergreen in 1898. The storm of 1900 demolished the town and residents were forced to evacuate but returned in 1901 to rebuild and renamed it Kemah. Bradford discovered a shell reef that extended from his property several hundred feet into the Bay and was 20-30 feet high in some spots, that was excavated and sold to the nearby Southern & Pacific railroad by the carload. Shell was used to build roadbeds back then.

Kemah’s population was about 400 and dropped down to 100 during the Great Depression. After WWII, during the late 1940s – early 1950s, Kemah was notorious for illegal, brazenly open round-the-clock casino gambling that had spread from Galveston. It was finally shut down by the Texas Attorney General and Texas Rangers, and tourism declined. After the Clear Creek Channel opened, a major commercial shrimp fishing fleet was established in Kemah in the 1950s, and the town still celebrates its shrimping port heritage annually in August with a Blessing of the Fleet.

Kemah is still a small town though its population has “swelled” to about 3,000 in this decade. With the development of the Kemah Boardwalk, the quaint waterfront town, with its proximity to Houston and Galveston, has become a premier attraction for Kemah residents and weekend destination for Houstonians, Texans, and beyond, including international visitors. Most of the towns historical landmarks have been destroyed in the periodic hurricanes that have hit the area. Only a few built in the early 1900s remain. The old Kemah Schoolhouse has been restored and relocated—it houses the Historical Society and is owned and operated by the city of Kemah. The 2-room schoolhouse was originally for 1st-6th grades during 1912-1949. The restoration was completed in 2007.

Landry’s Restaurant Inc. established the Kemah Boardwalk in the 1990s, bringing a surge in tourism that has increased along with the Boardwalk’s expansion over the decades, to become the premier Boardwalk attraction of the nation! It is now ranked as the top tourism attraction in the Greater Houston area. The Kemah Boardwalk is a 60-acre entertainment complex located 20-30 miles southeast of Downtown Houston. It began as a waterfront dining spot (Landry’s Restaurant) but developed into a weekend family destination and major attraction, built along the shoreline of Galveston Bay and Clear Lake. Kemah Boardwalk features “Food, Fun, Rides, and Music” for the whole family.

It offers year-round fun for all ages. Some of the attractions include the C.P. Huntington Train—a replica of an 1863 steam locomotive, double decker carousel, Ferris wheels, roller coasters, Boardwalk Tower, Drop Zone, Rockin’ Rocket, Iron Eagle, Boardwalk Beast speedboat thrill ride, Boardwalk Bullet (wooden coaster with 42 crossovers!), Stingray Reef & Rainforest Exhibit (Aquarium Restaurant-1st level), Rock the Dock—free concert series, midway games, arcade, playground, fireworks, Dancing Water Fountains (splash zones), and more.

The Boardwalk FantaSea passenger yacht features elegant dinner cruises, sightseeing and party cruises, and is the largest charter yacht for events and special occasions on the Gulf Coast. Boardwalk FantaSea cruises the Houston, Kemah, Clear Lake, and Galveston Bay Area. Based in Kemah Boardwalk Marina, Boardwalk FantaSea offers public leisure cruises and amazing cuisine on its dinner cruises.

The marina has the 3rd largest recreational boat fleet in the nation and is conveniently located about 45 minutes southeast of Downtown Houston on Galveston Bay on the Gulf of Mexico and is a short drive from Houston and Galveston Island. Constructed in the late 1980s, it injected new economic life into Kemah, TX. Access to the marina is via the Houston Ship Channel from Galveston.
