About Southport
Freedom Boat Club gives you the FREEDOM to Explore!
Give us a call today to make an appointment and learn why we are one of the top-rated Freedom Boat Clubs in the Country. Just call 910-612-0969 and let us show you how easy it is to own an entire fleet of boats without all the hassle.
The Southport Freedom Boat Club has easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, making our location ideal for both the experienced or inexperienced boater. As part of the Southport Freedom Boat Club we offer educational classes for boating as well as a mandatory boating safety class for all club members. At Freedom Boat Club we want to make sure your boating experienced is as stress-free and maintenance-free as possible. That’s why we are continually growing our club with new members every day. We believe in strong customer service as well as a friendly atmosphere where our members can access a boat of their choice and enjoy more time on the water. That’s what boating is all about, and joining Freedom Boat Club is your first step in making the right decision for you and your family when it comes to investing in boating.
Nostalgic, stunning and hospitable.
Long serving as a protective boating harbor, Southport is situated at the mouth of the Cape Fear River, the Intracoastal waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. However, the city itself is noted for its quiet beauty and hospitality. Sprawling oaks and historic homes set a nostalgic scene reminiscent of gentle, laid-back times. But don't be fooled. Laden with antique shops, historic sites, restaurants, art galleries, parks, and the Southport Maritime Museum, there is much to do if you seek a little bustling activity.
Bald Head Island is well worth a day trip, featuring stunning natural environments. Stroll or relax on the beaches or visit one of many attractions here. Oak Island is also ideal for exploring and boasts the Oak Island Lighthouse in Caswell Beach.

Going the club is one of the best decisions my husband and I have made. It allows us to spend quality time together in the outdoors. We've met some awesome people the past three years and all of the employees and owners are fantastic people!
Fun, food and most importantly awesome friendships formed around the love of boating.
My Wife and I have been members for about a year now and absolutely love Freedom Boat Club. We have always gotten a boat and the best dockside service you could imagine.
Friendly staff that go out of their way to make each outing memorable.
Love Freedom Boat Club! Beautiful boats available and the Freedom staff are terrific too!
