About Safe Harbor
Welcome to Freedom Boat Club of Safe Harbor.
Forget about all the hassles and just go have some fun on a boat. Our boats are brand new, our staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and you do not have to clean the boat. That's worth saying again, you DO NOT have to clean the boat.
A great place to create lifelong memories and avoid all the headaches associated with boating.
Independently owned and operated by Freedom Boat Club of Channel Islands

We have been members for a little over a year. I highly recommend this club if you are an occasional boater. We use the pontoons frequently in mission bay with our kids. And I use the Wakesurf boat in the mornings, typically with other club members. The dock staff are super helpful and friendly and are the number one reason why we prefer this club to owning our own boat. Jessi is mainstay at the Dana Landing dock and has been an amazing help to us every time.
I went out on a fishing boat with a friend who is a member of freedom boat club and I was blown away at how amazing this business was. We walked up and someone met us at the dock and helped us load all of our gear. They helped us launch and gave us the down low on where people were catching fish the day before. The boat was incredibly clean and nice and we fished all day. When we came back there was a different guy from the club who greeted us, helped us park the boat, then helped us unload all the gear. Not having the clean the boat after a long day of fishing makes all of the difference in the world. All and all this was a great experience.
Love this club. Best way to get started in boating! Dan runs a great club, boats are excellent and always maintained. Dock staff is awesome! Drew is the man in Mission Bay!
