Joining FBC was such a great alternative to owning for a fraction of the cost. Being new to the waterway & boating, FBC offers unlimited training & we have taken advantage of it. The staff, trainers & owners are knowledgeable & very friendly. FBC staff are committed to giving us a safe & fun way to enjoy boating. FBC Walks the Walk, it’s not just a bunch of talk!
The Freedom Boat Club has given us the ability to have quality family time out on the water and share the love of boating with our children without the hassle and stress of boat ownership. We love that we can get out to fish, take day trips up the rivers or to Jekyll then get right off and head home without worrying about maintenance, prep or storage. It’s the best way to boat in the Golden Isles!”
Great people and great concept. Even though I’m a member from another location Randi,Mike and William were very helpful and treated me like one of their own local members. That is one of the great things about the club you can use the over 150 locations across North America
I joined Freedom Boat Club of the Golden Isles in January of 2019. It’s a great way to enjoy boating without all the hassles of buying a boat. The Boat Club staff members are great. We show up at the marina and they have the boat all ready to go. When we return to the dock, they assist us off the boat, clean and refuel it, and we go home. Boat club membership is well worth the money.
We had a wonderful time looking at the beautiful scenery at Saint Simons. Lucy and Randi did a great job making us feel right at home. Join the club and use their boats!
The folks managing the local Freedom Boat Club are really, really good people with a huge amount of experience in sailing and power craft
