ABOUT

RICK'S ON THE RIVER

Experience exceptional boating at our Rick's on the River location, situated at the bustling Rick's on the River Bar and Grille. This location offers a variety of aquatic journeys – the Hillsborough River boasts beautiful scenic sights, while cruising along downtown Tampa offers panoramic city views and access to its vibrant restaurant scene.

 

This prime location is just a stone's throw from the open waters of Tampa Bay, where abundant fishing spots dot the river and extend into the bay. After a thrilling day on the water, our members relish the opportunity to savor a delicious meal at Rick's.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Everything was ready to go without any problem, very clean boats, full gas plus the person at the dock was really friendly and helpful about everything. Great experience!

Incredible day of boating with the Freedom Boat Club yesterday. They went above and beyond. It was our first use of the reciprocal agreement and it was just as good as our typical experience on Long Island at our home base.

I am amazed at the number of other locations across the country and in Europe. FBC is the expert in the boat club industry.. For sure!
