Customer Testimonials
We met Joe in his role as listing broker of the Sundancer 400 we ultimately purchased a few years ago and were very pleased with the entire process. So, when it came time to resell our beloved vessel, we turned to Joe to list her for us. To be honest, the market was a bit quirky at the time, even with the extensive promotion that EYS and Joe had done through two hurricanes, and we were about to give up on the process. But Joe encouraged us that the right buyer had just not come along…and he was right. In just a matter of days, we had a buyer, a contract, survey, and successful trial run. And just like that, the deal was done! Thanks, Joe for your determination and for keeping us in the game!
Leo was recommended to us by a close friend. We were so grateful to have Leo sell our 42’ Nordic Tug that we had for 23 years. Needless to say, we were very attached to Black Tie. When it came time to sell her, we were glad to have Leo orchestrate the sale perfectly. He met with potential buyers and calmly kept us informed every step of the way. He is most professional, most available, and most attentive. Thank you again for selling BLACK TIE for us. It was a pleasure working with you.
I found Joe to be very professional during the entire selling experience. He was thorough and detailed in his efforts to represent my boat in a challenging sellers market. The result was maximizing the value I was able to receive. His follow up was outstanding from beginning to the completion of sale. Great job and will work with Joe and EYS in the future. Thanks Joe!
Thank you for such organized and prompt assistance through this process Joe!

Joe made the process easy, answered every question and took the time and care to assure that I’d made the right deal.
I wanted to convey to you my appreciation for all of the work, diligence, effort and overall “OUTSTANDING” performance that Eddie Sul put forth that culminated in the July 14, 2020 sale of Andante.
After my wife and I decided to use a brokerage to sell Andante in late 2019, you assigned Eddie to assist us. With an overhaul and complete survey in September/October 2019. I knew the boat’s market and insurance value. Eddie and I agreed on a value that we both believed was realistic for presenting an excellent purchase value and to facilitate sale. We were off to the races.
I immediately liked Eddie’s business practices. He was fastidious with his photos of the boat and sale brochure. Most importantly, he communicated with me - stayed in touch, but was in no way frivolous or overbearing. He didn’t overdo it.
Andante immediately attracted interest, and then the Pandemic hit. COVID-19 had arrived and all travel ceased, active interest came to a halt. Eddie worked the internet, followed-up on previous interests and expanded exposure to other advertising outlets. Most importantly, he continued to communicate with me. COVID-19’s challenge was not to discourage him.
His efforts were SUCCESSFUL! An interested buyer on the west coast was seriously attracted to Eddie’s photos and description of Andante and called. Eventually, as you know, he traveled east during the Pandemic, and the deal was done.
He was a seasoned, knowledgeable, resourced boater that could continue to maintain, improve and update the boat. No, it was not quite the price I wanted, but a solid compromise, and I particularly liked the buyer’s plans for the boat and future adventures. He was the type of buyer you want if you wish your vessel another caring and capable owner. This purchaser was ONLY located through Eddie’s efforts. He remarked that Eddie’s representation proved “spot on” and was the only reason he traveled cross country to see it.
Eddie: Good work ethic, diligent, capable, attentive and a very good communicator with both buyer and seller. As for me, he made a good teammate. I give him a big “Bravo Zulu” and commend him for his outstanding performance.
Dear Leo:
We wanted to thank you for your hard work and dedication to selling our 34' American Tug. We could not have been more blessed when connecting with a broker whose kindness, expertise, and dedication to selling HEATHER MICHELLE was always your priority. You gave us hope and confidence that there were interested buyers around the country and almost immediately you located one. Amazingly, you not only brought Charlie and Mirinda to see the boat and learn about her, but you had a contract ready to go in 48 hours.
You are indeed a superlative man; your knowledge of American Tugs led you to finding HEATHER MICHELLE a new good home. The new owners are wonderful people who will love and care for her. Your guidance in getting her ready for showing and a sale was very much appreciated and you walked us through the process with patience and without pressure . You made us feel part of the team.
We will always be in gratitude for your expertise, honesty, direction, and above all your kindness and spirit.
With heartfelt thanks,
DEALING WITH EDDIE SUL WAS A TRUE PLEASURE!
Dealing with Eddie Sul was a true pleasure. Eddie is an old school professional where a man’s handshake means more than the terms and conditions hidden somewhere in the paperwork. From start to finish Eddie was “all in”, all day and every day . This included weekends, after hours , and also holidays. It never seemed to matter to Eddie. Always responsive and with a most positive and upbeat attitude.
I live in Canada and closed a purchase deal for a 38 foot Express Fisherman via long distance. I relied on Eddie to represent my best interests through the whole process and cannot say enough about the quality of the representation Eddie provided. It’s not a good story... it’s a great story. I would strongly recommend to anyone that they use Eddie Sul if at all possible.
My next boat will be purchased through Eddie. That’s a given!
We have known Leo Thibault for a long time. He has represented many American Tug buyers and sellers. We engaged Leo to sell a 34-foot American Tug a few years ago. He made helpful suggestions for staging the boat and was very good at communicating with us as to potential buyers.
When we decided to sell our 2016 American Tug 435, Leo was the only broker we considered. Leo has a large number of brokers working for him at Edwards Yacht Sales and a wide network of contacts in the marine industry. Again, Leo was excellent in keeping us informed throughout the sales cycle. He also helped us with good advice during the offer negotiations. We ended up with a sale that satisfied everyone. Leo’s years of professional experience and his outgoing personality make him an excellent resource and a great partner.
