What boaters are saying

Jake has been so wonderful to work with at Freedom Boat Club. This is our first boating season with the club and prior to joining, our biggest hesitation was that the boats would always be booked when we wanted to go out. This couldn't be further from the truth. As a family coming from out of town without access to a personal boat slip; this has been the perfect, no-maintenance option for us. We have had access to boats every time we've wanted, and Jake and staff have been extremely accommodating. Many times we've changed plans or wanted to arrive later or keep the boat longer and Jake is always quick to reply and does all he can to accommodate us. I would highly recommend Freedom Boat Club to anyone who loves to be out on the water without the maintenance and hassle of owning your own boat!

Freedom Boat Club is a great way to experience the lake with no worries! This year will be our third year in the boat club and it has worked well entertaining our family and friends. The app is very user friendly to book or change your boat reservation. Jake is a great communicator and always willing to help you. It’s nice to dock it and have no worries!

We love the boat club and have been members for several years . Jake keeps his boats clean , gassed up and ready to go. I highly recommend this club and the options of other locations is such a huge benefit for us .

I can't say enough great things about this company! The simple fact, I'm not a mechanically inclined person. Owning a boat would be a nightmare for me. Besides, why pay to store, winterize, dock and maintain a boat? It's WAY better to reserve one, hop on it for 4 hours, then go home without any hassle. Can you give a company 6 stars?!?!
