We had an excellent time on Lake Martin with a boat from Freedom Boat Club out of Ridge Marina. The staff was awesome. Freedom Boat Club is the easiest way to boat! We love it!!
I highly recommend Freedom Boat Club! This location is great, the lake is beautiful. The dock staff are awesome.
Great location, wonderful crew, and awesome boats.
