Freedom Boat Club - Bradenton, FL

Super friendly and helpful. Nice office with restrooms available before shipping out. The dockmaster took his time to thoroughly go over the local waterway map with me as I was new in the area. He made sure I felt comfortable with the directions. The marina was very crowded and super tight spots to maneuver out of.

Been a member since 2015! Best way to own a boat! Why buy one when there are 40+ to choose from. The dock staff is amazingly friendly and helpful! Get in now before the cost goes up! Tell them Joel Olivio sent you!

Has been working good for us so far! Only broke down once, back were able to limp back.(Good to Go,not so good) Been having fun for the most part!

Went with a friend from Deltona, she belongs to club. It was a really nice experience. People were very friendly and informative. Very nice boats,variety of boats from pontoon to fishing.

Been a member of Freedom Boat Club for a few months and am delighted. Have had no problems getting a boat. No problems getting the training I need. Dock workers are kind and helpful. Reservation system is great on an iPhone. I didn’t think I would be this pleased. But what is better than docking a boat after a day on the water and saying thanks, see you later. Nothing else to do.

Great boats for the money18 locations from Naples to BradentonThey clean and fuel the boatYou bring your food and drinks.No hauling The boat.They provide insuranceMostly very courteous staff

Nothing like being on the water

Great palce to rent a boat

Great deal and alternative to boat ownership. Staff friendly and boats well maintained

Just started with this club and we love it already pretty much several different types of boats for different types of boating readily available just a few miles from my house and multiple locations to choose from multiple destinations go to Sandbar and dive sites and restaurants

Been a JAX FBC member for ~10 years & try to take advantage of other clubs as much as we can. The Bradenton club is a great location with great staff. Easy to find, easy to park, large office, & FBC is at the very first dock. Each boat has its own designated slip so you always know where your boat is & where to return it. Jeff the dockmaster was great, explained the local waterways & provided info on local sights/restaurants.

Always a wonderful time! The employees are all really nice and helpful with anything we need!!

I went out with a friend who is a member and the service was great! The boat was ready upon our arrival and Bob got us ready to ship out. Then upon our return, Bob was waiting for us at the slip to help us dock. I cant wait to retire next year and become a member myself.

Always a good experience at FBC. Boats are clean and in great shape. Dockmasters are attentive and friendly.

Another great Freedom location. Never had been out there before. The staff were very helpful on where to go and what to do. Best part of my trip to Bradenton. Beautiful boating. Hope I can make it back.

Freedom Boat Club is fantastic, and the Palmetto location is perfect. Everyone is always friendly and incredibly helpful. Great place!

Great club and the people who run it

Fantastic club, with an excellent choice of boats, and wonderful, helpful staff. Highly recommended!

Good deal for boaters!

There is no reason to own a boat anymore. Freedom makes getting on the water easy and affordable.

Great time today in between storms

Didnt join but loved watching the kids beg for money for the snack machines!

Greatest place on earth

Very good club great boats great members

The best boat club in the country.

First class

Excellent! Everything was perfect. The Cobia was new and had a 250hp engine. Jennifer and the staff were super helpful. We were held in port for fog, and that meant we could explore. This location had tons of boats, and they were all very clean. They have nice offices with bathrooms, and a full ship store for ice, etc... We left around 10am, and headed for the Gulf. I set the Navionics for Cortez Bridge, and we were off. The boat had a cruise of 35mph, with a max of 41mph. It is crazy shallow at low tide, so use your digital charts. Without issue, we were out of the Manatee river, and on the ICW behind Anna Maria Island. We started going south past Longboat Key, and ended up in Sarasota Bay! We then ran back up the coast to the Anna Maria Pier for a great lunch. Then we headed back out into the Gulf to see dolphins and manatees. We ended the day back on the Manatee river, just cruising and enjoying the sun. With the right digital charts, you have nothing to worry about. We are totally going to use this club again!
