What is a Boat Club?

Many people hear "boat club" and they automatically think of renting boats, but a boat club is actually quite different than that. There can be many benefits to joining a boat club over renting a boat on occasion or buying a boat. Our boat club at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to explain what a boat club actually is.



Boat Clubs are designed for folks who want to access a versatile fleet of boats on a regular basis, at an affordable cost of entry.

While clubs in general may differ in their membership structure, Freedom Boat Clubs all operate with a 1x entry fee and monthly dues. FBC members have unlimited access to the club fleet, but do not own them and never incur any service or storage fees. Reservations are made through a proprietary online system.

A boat club makes its fleet available to its membership and its management handles all aspects of service and maintenance. Freedom Boat Club employs a proven member-to-boat ratio formula to ensure there are always plenty of boats in the fleet to service the demand of members. And unlike other club organizations, Freedom Boat Club rotates new boats into the system regularly, while moving them out of inventory after three years of usage.

While most boat clubs are either regionally-based or smaller ‘mom and pop’ locations, Freedom Boat Club has 1600+ late model boats from coast to coast, with 145+ franchise and corporate club locations throughout the United States and Canada. Members who join Freedom Boat Club on a year round basis enjoy reciprocal access and can boat anywhere Freedom Boat Clubs are located. This is one of the most valued features of membership in Freedom Boat Club.

In addition, Freedom Boat Club provides free a mix of both on-water and classroom boat training for every new member, taught on a 1:1 basis by Coast Guard licensed instructors. The instructors know the local waterways and are well trained to assist newcomers to boating as well as seasoned skippers alike.

One of the best aspects of private boat club membership in Freedom Boat Club are the fun membership socials! This can include everything from dock parties to dinners, party boat cruises aboard local charters, local parades, and more! One of the Freedom Boat Club franchise operators is even hosting a boating excursion to the Bahamas! Some of our clubs also host fishing seminars in partnership with West Marine or other local fishing experts. Through these regularly scheduled activities, lifelong friendships are forged among boaters who share the same passion and waterborne DNA!



We hope you now have a better understanding of what a boat club actually is and how it differs from just renting a boat on occasion or buying a boat. Freedom Boat Club offers hassle free boating. You can enjoy the boating at the Lake of the Ozarks without any of the hassles, such as cleaning the boat, worrying about insurance costs, or boat slip costs. We have you covered.
