Freedom Boat Club is the best way to get on the water. All the joys of boat ownership and none of the hassles!
FBC Missouri is the best! They could not have been more friendly and made our boating experience any more delightful. The boat was spotless and completely ready for us when we got there.
We love using our membership at the lake and all over the US! It’s so cool all the places we can go and we never have to pay extra to use them.
