| Q. |
What is Freedom Boat Club all about? |
| A. |
Freedom Boat Club 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. We own the boats and take care of everything that boat owners hate to do and pay for, including: storage, dockage, maintenance, insurance, tax, tow service and even cleaning. Members are entitled to participate in safety classes, social functions, and much more. We strive to provide a Freedom alternative to boat ownership - at a fraction of the cost of owning a boat - while maintaining the highest quality of service. |

| Q. |
How do I know there will be boats available? |
| A. |
Freedom Boat Club maintains a ratio of boats to members, so that all members will be able to get the boat they want just about every time. Our online reservation system ensures that all members have equal access to the boats, plus members can make guaranteed reservations up to six months in advance. There are plenty of boats available during the week for that evening ride or ski session, and the weekend availability is great, too! |
