What are the advantages of a FBC membership?


The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of owning a boat is the steep cost of simply buying it. We all know these don’t come cheap! Of course, you could always choose to finance a new one. And if you pay it for over 20 years, your monthly rate can be about as low as $200. The problem is that this is not the largest expense, when you factor in the cost of the spring commissioning, dock fees, maintenance, storageinsurance, Shrink wrap, and winterizing; you have yourself quite a hefty annual fee. Not sure how you feel about this, but I think for most people this is unnecessary.
A boat club membership is the easy and affordable way out of all the over-inflated costs associated with boat ownership. Why should pay for these fees, when you could simply just join a club that is a fraction of the cost?  I estimate that our members spend about half of what the average boat owner does each year.
Here are some of the main advantages of having a boating club membership:
  • Leave the maintenance to us and don’t waste any of your time on it. You don’t have to worry about cleaning, polishing, fixing the “wear and tear”! It’s all the club’s responsibility.
  • Pay a one-time fee to join and then a monthly fee, as you go, and don’t get tied down in long-term contracts.
  • Have not just one, but a full fleet of boats to choose from.
  • Have our staff prepare the boat for your arrival and then, when your trip is over, just hand over the keys and be on your way. There a no hassles whatsoever.
Not convinced? Stop in for a tour of our club or visit our website to see the awesome boats you could be crusing on. Our fleet will give you the ability allow you to cruise to the local beaches, head offshore to fish for a big catch, or take a overnight voyage on the Maine coast. And that’s just a few of the possibilities that a Freedom Boat Club membership can offer you.  FBC is truly the best of the boaters lifestyle with none of the hassles of ownership.  The boats are waiting, why are you?
