"If you're into boats and being on the water, Freedom Boat Club is the best way to do it!!"
"The customer service is bar none, incredibly responsive with reservations and requests. The boats are pristine, another factor FBC's competition just can't hold a candle to. I have entertained family/friends on the sun deck and clients on the center console."
