It has been an amazing experience for me and my family & friends, a very impressive team behind this club and we have built amazing memories, fishing, family boating and much more.
It is the best way to get on the water without the hassles of boat ownership and at a very fair cost of membership. I’m going into my 10th season and wouldn’t have changed a thing.
My wife and I have been members for two years and consider FBC to be one of the best investments we have ever made. The folks there are very easy to work with and the boats suit us just fine. All good!
Best boating decision I've ever made. But it's more than that. Being a RI member means you enjoy access to the beautiful facilities at many of the Brewers Marinas. It's basically like a country club on the ocean.
I have been a member for 7 years and truly pleased with the value the club provides. I am most impressed with the cleanliness and reliability of the boats. This is clearly a sign of the service and attention to detail that the staff provide to the members. Another great feature that I enjoy is the carefree obligations at the end of my trip. The dock staff help me unload my personal belongings and gear and even help me load it into my vehicle.
