Freedom Boat Club
We operate a boat club membership business that gives members access to our vessels at designated times for an entry fee and monthly dues. Members reserve boats through our proprietary reservation system and can use the vessel included in their membership when one is available. We serve the general public in markets near large bodies of water, where customers want access to boating without owning a boat outright. Our locations are high-touch, marina-based operations that manage boats, scheduling, training, recordkeeping, and day-to-day member service. Members are responsible for their own fuel costs, while we provide the boats, facilities, and system to make boating more convenient and accessible.
