- A bad day on the water beats a good day at work!
Eddy and son Vito trucked my boat to Florida from Massachusetts last week. They went above and beyond as a bearing in the trailer failed and they were able to quickly spot the issue and have it repaired with minimal delay. Everything else was also completely professional and fairly priced.
Sold our boat- easy to deal with, honest, great communication. He knows the market, has the contacts, and can close the deal. Thanks so much!
I was in the market looking for a boat that both provided what I needed, but was in a decent price point as well. I found it with True North Marine! A 1993 Sea Ray Sundance 230 that was in incredible shape. The team at True North Marine were upfront and prompt in providing me the details I was looking for, and when I showed up to pick it up, they not only provided exceptional service, but were friendly and accommodating. I’d recommend them to anyone I know!
Eddy has done an amazing job with my boat purchase. Seamless and smooth do not begin to describe how easy it was working with him. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat. You will not be disappointed.
Eddy is an exceptional individual and when you meet him you will understand why. He certainly cares about the individual he is working with. He relocated our boat from NY to FL and made the process as smooth as possible. His years of experience and positive attitude made us feel at ease during the 1,300 mile move. He is excellent at communication and keeps you informed daily of his progress. His flexibility and understanding took our worry away as he had to adjust the transport due to a hurricane. If you are in need of boat transport, I would highly recommend contacting Eddy at True North Boat Brokerage. We certainly would use his services again. He goes above and beyond! Thank you Eddy! It was a pleasure working with you!
Contacted True North Marine for a boat transport quote and Vito got back to me the same day. Quote was well below competitors. Vito arrived for transport on time and with good quality transport equipment. Boat was safely removed from Lake George and properly secured on a three axle trailer for transport to Lake Winnipesaukee. Vito kept me informed of his progress as he transported the boat. Boat arrived same day at Lake Winnipesaukee in excellent condition and was properly launched. Overall great experience with True North Marine.
Eddie is the best for sellin or buying a boat. I wasted two years trying to sell my boat, I met Eddie this summer and one month later my boat was sold. Ed is a very fair and great salesman, would highly recommend him
Eddy was a pleasure to work with. He always responded quickly to anything that had to be addressed. Eddy made a tuff deal go smoothly.
A few days ago I spoke to Eddy about selling my boat. I purchased my boat from him 3 years ago which was a smooth experience. He gave me great advise on what to do next. He is a good honest guy. And will be selling my boat when the time comes. And will get me the best deal. I’m sure of it!
Very helpful and hands on. Worked hard to make my sale go through
I’ve worked with Eddy and True North for several years transporting my boat from Cape Cod to Marco Island. I couldn’t be happier with his professionalism and proactive communication during the process. I highly recommend him!
Eddie and his son Vito are very professional and provided excellent service. They made sure that my boat was delivered on time and kept me up to date during the whole move. I highly recommend them.
“Eddie” was great to work with had a boat transported from NY to FL. He made sure everything was in order before leaving with the marina. During the transport kept updates daily of where his location was. Very accommodating to meet at a boat ramp and help unwrap the boat making sure everything was in order and ready to launch. We would highly recommend using True North for your transportation needs you won’t be disappointed.
I would highly recommend this company.
I had a custom trailer fabricated in Florida and originally going to drive from New York to pick it up. Eddie made the delivery for me and it was a very pleasant experience. Clear communication and prompt service. True North is a quality organization!
Eddie has moved over a dozen boats for me up and down the eastern seaboard. He is honest, reliable, and his strong knowledge of the industry puts him above the rest. I highly recommend True North Marine.
Eddie was a pleasure to work with. With his photos and frequent text messages, and also his communications with the marinas at both ends, we knew our boat was in good hands. True enough, it showed up on time and in good condition in Mamaroneck last weekend. I would definitely recommend Eddie (and his son Vito) and will use them if I need to move the boat again.
First class service – Marina was closed. – boat was lowered in water and driven to my slip in heavy wind conditions and safely tied up. Great driver very knowledgeable in boats aside from transport !!!
Eddie went out of his way for me while on a family trip I called about a boat in fort meyers and he just happened to be 2 hours away from there and checked out a boat for me what a great guy made my boat purchase smooth and not to mention saved me a trip an extra trip to Florida to seal my deal thanks again true north
We here at Pilot knob Marina strive for the best when it comes to our customers and their boats.
Eddy and his crew are our go to transporter when it comes to hauling. i can rest assured the boat will get to its destination safely and on time. I highly recommend. if you are in need of boat transportation.
I hired Eddy to transport my boat from Long Island, NY to Orange Beach, AL appx. 1,300 miles. Eddy kept me updated on his location every day and would send a pic of the boat daily. His operation is top notch a very organized operation. I highly recommend Eddy and his company for any transport needs.
Just had my new Superboat 30 CC brought down from NY to the Lowcountry. Eddie came highly recommended and he didn’t disappoint! He’s extremely safe and conscientious. He provided updates regarding his progress to include regular photos as he made his way south.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and can highly recommend him to transport your pride and joy.
Eddy was a great pleasure to work with. I originally booked my shipment to be picked up at a certain date. The boat wasn’t ready to ship until a month later. Eddy worked with the broker to schedule the pickup when the sale was final. He personally went to the boat at the seller’s home and drove the boat to a ramp to load on the trailer. From that point on he was in constant contact with me during the transport. Sending pics at every stop. At delivery he promptly launched the boat. Unfortunately he left before I could thank him. I highly recommend true north marine for you boat hauling needs. It was worth the price of shipping.
Eddy’s True North is reliable, professional and diligent in transporting boats. He has taken my boat several times back and forth between Florida and Jersey 100 percent without incident. He is extremely honest and has the best rates. I highly recommend him.
Our marina in New Rochelle recommended True North to tow our boat to Baltimore.
They gave us a good rate, a friendly service and delivered our boat to the port safely.
We would have no problem using their service again and would highly recommend True North.
Thanks Eddy !!
Rolex, Ferrari, Mont blanc that’s the category I put Eddie in .White glove service.That’s what I received. I’m over the moon about my experience dealing with True North Marine/Eddie .I had to go back in and leave another review I left out some Key things in my first review. it’s just a great experience dealing with that team. Eddie is a very hospital guyI just kind of does whatever you ask and will go out of his way to get it done. I referred another boating customer to him with a 30 footer. And we’re trying to get him two manufactures . You cannot ask for better service if you want your boat transported 18,000 pounds or less truenorth and Eddie is the way to go.
The experience was great. Easy to deal with honest ,dependable ,did everything I asked .I could not ask for a better experience. I will always use and recommend True North Marine US
Just had the pleasure of dealing with Eddy at Truth North Marine. My 16 year old purchased a 20′ Grady White. Eddy was responsive, honest, and went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. Just a pleasurable experience from start to finish. Thanks Eddy!
I found True North on UShip. The communication with Eddy was very good. He was responsive and kept me informed. He completed the delivery as proposed. He’s a boat fanatic and knows what he’s doing which makes him very qualified to be responsible of your boat. I will use him again.
Eddy transported my boat down to Naples for the winter and back to Cape Cod for the summer. Everything was flawless and Eddy gave updates along the way, highly recommended!
I hired Eddy to move a boat from Long Island, NY to Maryland. When he got to the yard to pick up the boat which was on stands, they refused to provide any help even though they had promised to do so the day before. Eddy was very resourceful and patient and got my boat moved. Excellent communication and a great job A+++
Thank you so much for your help with the sale of our boat. We appreciate all the time you took to answer our questions and your professional and courteous manner. We will definitely use your service again in the future.
These guys are true professionals. They have trailered my 32′ pontoon with a 12′ beam all over Northern New York. They are responsive and detailed when it comes to their work. I couldn’t recommend a more professional group to work with.
Eddy did a great job transporting our boat and delivering it on the promised date at a very fair price. A good communicator, friendly and professional. Would definitely hire Eddy again for future boat hauls.
I used Eddie for the first time this year. He was priced lower than others. He was easy to work with and prompt. Took good care of my 36′ Sea Ray.
I gave 5 stars because he earned it!
We asked Eddy to transport our 28’ cruiser from our old marina where it was stored to our new location 500 miles away. His price was nearly half of some of his competitors. Eddy’s small business and can do approach was fantastic. We set up a schedule of pick-up and delivery times and, even though he had 400 miles to drive to pick up the boat and 500 miles to deliver, he was exactly on time at both ends. We weren’t even there for the pick up, but Eddy and our former marina manager worked together to drop the boat on the trailer, secure it, and get Eddy on his way. He then arrived promptly the next day and even put the boat in the water. Eddy is very friendly, easy to work with and even pointed out a couple of potential issues that he had noticed during transport. You will be very happy using true North marine for overland shipping of your boat. Thanks, Eddy!
True North made the transaction of our new boat seamless. Recommend a finance company that went super smooth.
Thanks again !!
Been working with eddie for a few months now trying to find the perfect boat he has been great I’m a very picky buyer and he has been more than accommodating to me he is determined to get me the best deal possible and hasn’t given up on me yet thanks truenorth and eddie your the best there is
As an Actor in Hollywood www.IMDB.me/JamesZito most people as soon as they realize this try to upsell and overcharge me. True North Marine did not try anything like that. Eddy treated me like family he guided me every step of the way and priced fairly.
Now I am going to be purchasing more to invest and flip. I trust Eddy to transport my vessels safely and on time.
Nothing beats a family-owned and operated business like True North Marine. Thank you so much for delivering everything without a scratch or a hiccup, thanks for always taking my calls and also being on time with delivery.
God bless you and your family always!

I recently bought a 2007 Larson from Eddy (Vito)at True North and I’m very happy with the boat and Eddy’s services. He was extremely helpful in setting up a showing and survey, and even put me in touch with a great finance company. After I purchased he went out of his way to deliver the boat for a reasonable price. All in all a great experience and I highly recommend this brokerage!
He’s the right guy for the job, anything boats ! I first met Eddy around 20 years ago, I bought a really great 28 express boat by Doral and loved it, and payed less then expected. He knows just about anything related to the marine world, won’t BS you and goes beyond to do right by his clients. A few years later I bought a 33′ Donzi Crossbow and need it hauled 120 miles north to the Hudson valley, we picked a date, it’s winter, and of course it snowed, not inches but feet, it was a blizzard, near white out, waited for his call to postpone, but he called when he arrived !! Unbelievable, he is dedicated , determined to do what he says he’s gonna do and when ! That’s dedication! Eddy’s the best

This is the second time I have used Eddy and both experiences have been great. He did a quality job at a fair price. I would highly recommend him
My wife and I had the great pleasure of meeting and doing business with Eddie’s son Vito in Lake George NY.. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond accommodating our needs. From the first phone call to closing the deal, we felt comfortable and worry free. He took all the anxiety out of the process. We would recommend him without reservation to anyone.
I have been working with this group for years. Eddy has been solid and trustworthy. They are one of the most informed groups out there. Not afraid to give advice and knowledge, even if they are not selling you a product. A great go-to! What else can ask for when you’re trying to purchase a big-ticket item.”
“Just want to thank Eddy for the great experience in selling my boat. At the end of the season. I really thought it might not sell. Eddy brokered the deal and took care of all the leg work. If you are thinking of buying or selling, check him out. I believe you will be glad you did.”
“How do I begin to explain what a fabulous experience selling our boat through Eddy was!!
We met in October- end of the Lake George season. We are not boat salespeople, and feel strongly that hiring professionals to do what they do makes sense. Eddy came to see us- we instantly connected and knew he was “the guy”. His boat knowledge and local knowledge were exemplary, and his connections are endless!
In November, he and his team took the boat out of the water- he provided a trailer as we did not have one. He winterized her and took her to see prospective clients. We assumed she would be in Eddy’s care through the winter. BUT- awesome Eddy was continuing to prospect. Imagine our delight when we received a call in December!!!! Eddy had a perfect buyer and we made a deal in December. This is NOT something we could have ever done on our own! The price was what we were looking for ……..and no winter storage costs! ( We had bought another boat, and 2 storage fees was not ideal, as you boaters know).
The exemplary service, the mechanical knowledge, the industry knowledge, – to have all in one place is such a find. We feel so lucky to have met Eddy and could not have asked for a more positive experience.
Thank you Eddy!!! This is not goodbye- as we wouldn’t work with anyone else ever again! We would highly recommend Eddy to those looking to buy or sell. We have shared our great experience with anyone who will listen! Thank you again!”
My boyfriend and I recently tried selling our boat independently and had no luck at all. We came upon Eddy and he quickly won us over with his knowledge and confidence that he would sell our boat. This took place last fall and through the winter we kept in touch and starting in February he had people looking at the boat.
We live about two hours away from Eddy and that’s where the boat was but he still sent people our way. He finally recommended that he come get the boat and bring it back to where he was and said he would sell it in no time. He picked the boat up on a Sunday and by that Wednesday he had a signed contract with the deposit and two weeks later have sold the boat. He is a true man of his word with great knowledge and he knows many people in many avenues to sell boats at a top price. His honesty was always there and we never once doubted anything he told us. If you are really interested in selling a boat and truly want it sold quickly at the right price we recommend you list it with Eddy. He will do everything and just deliver you the money that you were asking. He is a class act and a true gentleman. People like him are very hard to find today to do business with. Thank you Eddy for everything you are truly top notch in the boat brokering business.”

“We have been looking for a boat for the 10 months and had no luck. We found a boat we liked on-line, called the number in the ad and left a message. Eddy got back to us immediately. We scheduled an appointment for later that same day and met Eddy at the boat. He was a straight shooter from the moment we met him. He explained he was a boat broker and brought together prospective buyers and sellers of boats. He gave us a detailed tour of the boat and provided us with his honest and very positive opinion about the boat. We signed a preliminary contract on the spot and arranged for a detailed inspection with a certified marine mechanic. We were so happy when the mechanic called to say the boat was thoroughly inspected and was is in great shape! Thank you Eddy for connecting us with a great boat!”
“Nothing but great things to say. Decided to purchase a boat in the summer. Vito and Eddy took care of literally everything for me from start to finish and found me exactly what I was looking for at the budget I was working with, in what seemed like no time at all. If you’re looking for someone to sell your boat or source you a new one look no further they’ll get it done for you in an extremely timely fashion. Thank you again!!!!”
