Freedom Boat Club is a Smart Alternative to Ownership

Freedom Boat Club is the biggest and oldest boat club of its kind. The group has 165 locations nationwide and in Canada and provides members with a fleet of boats at each location.

Members can also get free, unlimited training from USCG-certified instructors. They can also meet fellow-boating enthusiasts at monthly member socials and fishing seminars. And most importantly…get out and boat. To learn more about maintenance-free boating, or to set up a tour, go to freedomboatclub.com.

The club was first founded in 1989 in Sarasota, Fla., with the vision to provide an affordable option to boat ownership and to deliver a hassle-free recreational boating experience for its members.

At the time, the concept was controversial. Boaters were either traditional boat owners, or friends of boat owners. There weren’t boat clubs, fractional boating, boating timeshare, or even many boat rental facilities. The exclusive fraternity of boat owners stored their vessels at marinas, home docks or at the yacht club. Freedom Boat Club launched an alternative that opened the waterways to newcomers as well as lapsed boaters.

There are Freedom Boat Club locations available in many ports of call.
