I used freedom boat club for about 2 years in SWFL, Naples location. It was good to help me decide what type of boat I wanted but had issues with the club.
1. You got 4 reservations at a time, 2 weekday, 2 weekend. But if you wanted a boat all day on the weekend it was 2 reservations, 1 for the morning one for the afternoon. Not a big issue if you are on vacation but if you are working it’s sucks as you never use the weekday reservations and we typically used both weekend reservations on the same day to get the boat all day. We felt it was better for retired/vacationers
2. People treated the boats like shit. When we went out we treated the boats like they were our own, others not so much, filet fish on the fiberglass, sand everywhere and general disregard for the boats.
3. If a cushion was lost or damage was do ethe would charge you for it but they never seemed to repair the damage or replace the cushions.
4. The Naples club had 2 offshore boats that were never available as they were booked so far in advance, up around sanibel not a big deal because you have icw to cruise but in Naples if you can’t go offshore you are limited.
After 2 years we had enough and bought out own boat, more expensive - yes, but worth every penny.
