Discover Why Owners Love Their North River

Tina*****
I’d like to start out with my experience in search of a new boat. We flew from Michigan out to Oregon in search of my dream boat. We shopped and set foot on all the major brands and just kept coming back to the North River. The fit, finish, quality of the craftsmanship and a test ride contributed in my choosing the 25’ Seahawk HT. The flexibility in be able to customize options to our liking was important. As my boat was being built I received weekly pictures updating me of its progress. That’s a nice touch and we appreciated NR took the time to show us our boats journey through the factory. The day came and it was time to take delivery. The excitement was real! After getting it home my brother and I spent about 3 weeks rigging it before the maiden voyage to break in both engines. Once that was complete our first salmon trip on Lake Michigan was in order! It was a complete success!! This spring will start our 4th year on my boat aptly named Some Girls Do. She’s been amazing and still extremely happy and satisfied with my choice. We’ve had a lot of success in tournaments with hope our luck continues

My wife and I purchased this North River Fastback and have enjoyed every second of it! We use it for ocean fishing and also take the kids tubing on the lake during the summer. Would highly recommend your next or first boat being a NORTH RIVER!

Ordered a new boat last year. There was some delays due to supply chain but Chris at NR emailed me with status and pictures of progress. Very happy with the boat and service.

I’ve owned 5 North Rivers and they are simply the best boats in both the way they look and the way the perform!
Rick*****
I chose North River because after looking at different models over the years, the quality and style of the boat convinced me to buy the North River. I have been waiting for years to make this purchase and am glad I finally have the boat.

They are the best boat in my opinion. I have always wanted one. It is a symbol of the point I'm at in my life. I have two boys aged 5 and 2. I need to turn them into fishermen. My dad always had marginal equipment because he was afraid to spend a couple of bucks. The biggest memories of my childhood fishing drips are of when the equipment failed, and or was not up to the task at hand. I won't make that mistake, hence the North River.

Last year I bought my 2nd brand new Northriver and couldn’t be any happier. They’re definitely worth the money and in my opinion there’s not a better boat made.
Philip*****
Great boats! We have had 4 built and are about to order more.

Hey guys & gals at North River, just got back to Idaho with the work of art in the 25' OS you built for me. Everywhere I stopped back to Idaho people would tell me what a beautiful boat I had, so it took more a little more time talking about the boat & North River Inc! I am sure it will be the same up to Seattle to load on the barge.You are a Great bunch and I appreciate all you have done to build me the boat of my dreams! bart.

I had a custom 25' Osprey built, appreciated the extra care and craftsmanship that was put into building the boat the way I wanted it. Was great to visit and get a tour of the factory and see my boat in process. Special thanks to Mike, Jay and Gary for putting in the extra efforts to deliver the boat I envisioned.
David*****
The fact that I’m enjoying my boat 18+ years after it was built speaks to the quality of North River Boats. I bought my Commander X used with very low hours. It has proven to be a great family boat with the sun pad upholstery option as well as a great boat to fish out of.

We have owned several North River boats over the years. Currently have three right now. What makes these boats great is the reliability, the performance and the team that stands behind them. The customer service is great. We have made many memories with our family on lakes and river tubing and great fishing in the ocean in our North Rivers.
