We asked a few of our Australian members to share what they love most about the club. 🇦🇺🚤 Being able to explore the coastline without worrying about boat maintenance allows them to live the boating lifestyle to the fullest. Are you ready to join the fun? #FreedomBoatClub #BoatLife #Australia

Fun fact: women who fish have more confidence and resilience. Not-so-fun fact: girls stop fishing at a 10% higher rate than boys. Let’s get everyone out on the water.

Welcome to Freedom Boat Club – Boating Made Simple®

Freedom Boat Club was first founded in 1989 in Sarasota, FL. It is the oldest and largest boat club in the nation. The vision and purpose in establishing the boat club model was simple and straightforward - to to deliver a hassle-free recreational boating experience for its members.

At the time, the concept was considered revolutionary and break-through. Boaters were either traditional boat owners, or friends of boat owners. There were no boat clubs, fractional boating, boating timeshare, or even many boat rental facilities. The exclusive fraternity of boat owners stored their vessels at marinas, home docks or at the yacht club. When Freedom Boat Club launched, this new offering presented an exciting new alternative that opened the waterways to newcomers as well as lapsed boaters.

As the organization began its initial growth, Freedom Boat Club was sold to an investment group. Over time, it became evident that the best leadership for this type of business model would require active engagement at the helm. John Giglio and Robert Daly had both been working for the investment operator and negotiated to buy the enterprise in 2011. Mr. Giglio bought Mr. Daly out in 2012 and became the sole President.

Under Mr. Giglio’s watchful eye and passionate leadership, coupled with a committed crew of entrepreneurial-driven franchise owners, Freedom Boat Club is thriving. Today, 20,000+ boaters call Freedom Boat Club “home,” with 220+ locations in 31+ states, Canada, and France with franchise operations situated coast-to-coast, and growing daily.
