| What is Freedom Boat Club all about? |
|
Valet Boating. Our members have all the benefits of owning their own boat but none of the cost or hassle that goes with it, which ultimately gives them more time to enjoy the water with family and friends. You use the boats and we take care of everything that boat owners hate to do and pay for, including storage, dockage, maintenance, insurance, tax and right down to cleaning the boats. Members are entitled to participate in safety classes, social functions and much more. We provide the care-free alternative to boat ownership at a fraction of the cost of ownership, while maintaining the highest quality of service.
