About #miBoat Club • Grand Haven, MI
Welcome to Freedom Boat Club of West Michigan – Est. November 1, 2017
Located in Grand Haven, enjoy access to Lake Michigan, Spring Lake, and The Grand River. Even when Lake Michigan is rough, you can still enjoy a day on Spring Lake or a cruise up the river! Enjoy local eats, music, and entertainment via boat, by using downtown Grand Haven’s “wall”, or municipal marina, located in the Grand Haven channel!
The marina offers easy access to Spring Lake, the Grand River and Lake Michigan where you can enjoy the beautiful blue water & public beaches. Weather permitting, trips up to Muskegon Lake open your day to wonderful additional dining options and adventures. Lots of great fresh water fishing. Various fun stops like the channel wall give you endless options in Grand Haven.

“I have now been a member just over 3 month and we are very pleased. We have not had trouble getting a boat and we have found the service to be excellent. Once you get the training and learn the systems it works well.” David M.
“Joining FBC was the best decision my family has made in a long time. We’ve recaptured our summer fun without the hassle. So many amazing memories made year one… can’t wait to make more this summer.” Andrea S.
“My husband and I joined last August. We knew nothing about boating, but wanted to be on the water. Everyone at Freedom Boat Club was so patient, friendly and helpful to us. We loved enjoying the last of summer on the water and can’t wait for boating season to start! My friend owns a boat and he said the cost doesn’t even compare! Better way to go!” Theresa T.
“I thought that it was such a weird idea, my wife kept pushing so I thought I would look into it. Let me tell you, my wife is happy & my kids are happy and the amount of work to go boating is cut down 100% which makes me happy!” Bret H.
“This just makes sense. If you want to enjoy boating without the hassles associated with owning a boat, joining Freedom Boat Club is a no brainer.” Gregory T
