I have enjoyed my Freedom Boat Club membership beyond what I anticipated. FBC is a wonderful way to enjoy boating on both Casco Bay and Brandy Pond in Naples. The entire Freedom Boat Club team are helpful and caring. They will make sure you have a positive boating experience. I highly recommend FBC to anyone who has wanted to get into boating. You will love it! ~ Ross Weber
I recommend joining Freedom Boat Club. It’s a very affordable alternative to owning your own boat. The equipment is clean and new, and you don’t have to worry about mechanical breakdowns on the water. And I love being able to use the club facilities when I travel to Florida in the winter months. ~ Rudy Labrecque
