Larry Dudley Yacht Sales was established in Ventura, CA in 1980. The fine reputation of the Brokerage is based on years of providing service with integrity and experience. Our friendly staff includes many experienced members that have both brokers and sales licenses.

Our floating office on Pier D in the heart of the bustling Ventura Harbor was a mainstay for many years. We may not be on the water any longer, but our friendly Knowledgeable staff can show many fine boats and yachts in our area. Our listings are located in Ventura harbor, Channel islands Harbor, and Santa Barabara.

We have a dedicated staff with many years of experience in buying and selling power, sail, and commercial vessels. Charlie Palma, Ken Miller, and the rest of the staff work together to give you the personal and friendly attention you need to buy or sell your vessel. We constantly strive to build ongoing relationships with our clients.

We work hard to accommodate your needs and help find the perfect boat for you. We assist our buyers with all phases of the purchase from sea trial, survey, and financing to insurance and berthing. Sellers choose us to market their boats because of our integrity, our personalized service, and our proven track record to move boats.

Most of our listings are yachts located in marinas in the Ventura Harbor and nearby Channel Islands and Santa Barbara Harbors.

We feature a strong advertising campaign and an effective and growing presence on the Internet, featuring a homepage at YachtWorld. Our ads in "The Log", "California Yachts for Sale", and "Yachts for Sale" are viewed by thousands of boaters each month. In Addition we utilize a Yahoo web page (www.ldyacht.com)and our new marine Supplies website at www.smugglersyachts.com. We also submit our clients boats to Google Shopping,Boats.com, Oodle.com. Oodle.com is a classified service similar to Craigslist- but that is distributed and feeds into Walmart.com and other mainstream retailers.
