Freedom Boat Club

With Freedom Boat Club, Life Is Fun!
Overview
It is the oldest and largest boat club in the nation. The vision and purpose in establishing the boat club model were simple and straightforward: to provide an affordable option to boat ownership and to deliver a hassle-free recreational boating experience for its members.

Freedom Boat Club was first founded in 1989 in Sarasota, FL.

Additionals
At the time, the concept was considered revolutionary and breakthrough. 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 has been named in the Entrepreneur Magazine's "Top 500" Franchise List and the Inc. Magazine's "Top 5000 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies," among many other regional and marine industry distinctions. We're going places, and we'd love to have you become part of our ongoing and continually emerging success story!
