Join Will Mason and myself, Jay Heidel, as we discuss The Freedom Boat Club as an option to owning a boat yourself. This seems like it could be a great option for some people, especially condo owners who do not usually have a place to keep a boat except to pay for a marina.

For those of you who don't like to watch the whole video, below is an overview of how Freedom Boat Club works.
A Freedom Boating Plan Includes:
A full membership for you and your spouse
(or someone in your household over the age of 21).
Unlimited boat usage at our 28 Tampa Bay locations from
South Tampa Bay up to the Northern Nature Coast.
Access to our fleet of 460+ boats, ranging from 20'-24' which includes Deck boats, Pontoons, Zodiac Runabouts, Inshore Center Consoles for flats fishing, and Offshore Center Consoles to get that big grouper.
Reciprocal access to 190+ Freedom Boat Club locations
in the U.S., Canada and now even Europe!
An ever-growing fleet and locations to cruise from, based on our
10:1 ratio of members to boat.
Guaranteed rolling reservations, as well as
unlimited spur-of-the-moment boating.
A maintenance-free boating lifestyle.
Complementary training with our U.S.C.G. licensed instructors. You may also take additional training should you so desire (just pay for fuel).
Invitations to our area social events and fishing seminars with other FBC members.
Seasonal memberships are also available:
Agreement is month to month. It's not like a timeshare. You can quit at any time with a 60 day written notice. But you won't want to!
Per the agreement, your rates are locked in at the current rate for two years.
You can boat from 8 am until dusk daily.
Unlimited 7-DAY usage at any of our 28 locations
Reciprocal Usage at each of the other 190 clubs nationwide
$500 Deductible "Peace of Mind" plan included (Annually renewable at $300)
Membership Options:
Freedom 2 (2 Active Rolling Reservations)
Great for members that boat primarily on weekdays such as retirees
Freedom 4 (4 Active Rolling Reservations)
Our most popular plan for weekday and weekend users
Freedom 6 (6 Active Rolling Reservations)
Our Luxury Plan allows for more reservations
Seasonal Membership: (Great for Snow Birds)
Pick one of the plans above that best fits your needs and just pay for the months that you'd like to boat!
Choose 6 or 9 month seasons. Ability to change your plan at any time at no cost.
