About Us - FBC Puget Sound
Freedom Boat Club is a boating adventure made simple. At Freedom Boat Club, we believe that life is better on the water and that boating should be easy. We own the boats and do all the work so that you have all the adventures and make all the memories, which are sure to last a lifetime. Established in 1989, Freedom Boat Club is the worlds largest members only boat club. We invented the boat club concept over 30 years ago in Sarasota, FL and now we’ve brought it here to you in the PNW.
As a Freedom Boat Club member, you gain unlimited access to a new fleet of boats and reciprocal use of hundreds of clubs nationwide including Canada and Europe! We clean, moor, maintain and insure the fleet so that you don’t have to. We do it all for you so you can focus on enjoying life on the water with the people you love.
We are open 7 days a week and have a state of the art reservation system. This puts the convenience of reserving a boat right in your hands through our app or website. Pick your day, marina and boat, then let us get it ready for you and offer best in class service when you show up for your adventures on the water.
Don’t forget, you have unlimited home-club boating access at our FBC Kirkland, FBC Edmonds, FBC Lake Union Nautical Landing, FBC Lake Union AGC, FBC Seattle Elliot Bay Marina, FBC Everrett, FBC Olympia, FBC Tacoma, FBC Port Orchard, FBC Bremerton, and FBC Poulsbo club locations, with more coming soon!
Why choose us? We believe that freedom on the water means freedom in life. Freedom Boat Club offers you the ultimate Pacific Northwest boating lifestyle. That means zero maintenance and none of the traditional cost of ownership and instead, total enjoyment for you, your friends and your family. Most of all that means MORE FREEDOM!
Stop looking at all the beautiful water here in Washington and just get yourself out there. Life is ALWAYS better on the water. You won’t regret it. The boat is waiting, why are you?
We’ll see you at the docks!

"Amazing! We've been members for 1 1/2 years, and it's been the best investment in fun we've ever made. We love the awesome boats, the great service, awesome staff, and the hassle-fee way to enjoy boating without all of the hassles (or extra expences) of boat ownership. I love being able to go crabbing on day, lounge with friends on the pontoon boat the next, then wake board the next, all at an affordable price. I would HIGHLY recommend Freedom Boat Club to everyone who enjoys having fun on the water." –Jeff Stodola
"After 10 years of boat ownership, maintenance, insurance, registration, and repair costs I sold it! Earlier this year my friend and I discovered FBC Seattle and immediately fell in love with the concept. The reservation system is very easy. You can get last minute reservations or waitlist a day if you need to. We have been out almost weekly since joining with no trouble finding available boats. Nick is a great owner and very active with his members. You really do own the water not the boat!" –Melody Hutchinson
"I've been in other boat clubs and I've owned boats. No doubt that Freedom Boat Club is the best way to get on the water in Seattle and Kirkland easily and affordably. It's awesome to go play on the water for an afternoon and just come back and turn in the keys. Nick and the staff are extremely accommodating. The boats are in immaculate shape. I couldn't recommend FBC any higher. Don't hesitate. Go for it. You know you want to. And you won't regret it." –Justin Marx
We joined the Freedom Boat Club at the end of summer 2017. We have been very happy and It has surpassed our expectations in every way. The boats are great, the staff are awesome and the reservation system is fair. When you return the boat you just pay for the fuel you have used and then literally walk away. The crew cleans and refuels the boat. Quick. Easy. Hassle free. My friend has a boat and we spend an hour messing around after pulling it out of the water or even after just docking it. I kept wondering if there would be a catch but there really isn't. It truly is hassle free boating."–David Houseberg
“Freedom Boat Club is a game changer. My husband and I were thinking about buying a boat but after outlining the costs and time needed for boat ownership, we decided to check out the club instead and were sold in minutes. Everyone who works here is extremely friendly and helpful; they go above and beyond to make sure each boat outing is a safe and fun one. Not having to worry about the maintenance of a vessel makes each adventure that much more enjoyable. Joining was seriously one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thanks Nick and team, you guys are incredible.” –Shawn Wallen
