Marc and the dock hands at Rick's On The River were great! Cleaning crew from Saturday evening missed a spot on the bow, but Marc made sure and cleaned it and dried it before we boarded. Appreciate the extra effort to make our day on the water perfect!

Epic locate with an insane amount of boats. We stopped in several times, and this club is always willing to accommodate us! Located next to Rick’s on the River, this club also has a bait shop and the staff is excellent!!!

This review is more for Freedom not the staff. We've been with them for about a year now and are on the highest plan at $400 a month. It's been proving difficult to get boats this summer when we need them. When we did get a reservation a month out, it got canceled due to maintenance. Frustrating that you can only have 1 open reservation at a time too so if you want to book say a friends birthday 2 months out, you then can't book any other weekend days. Wish there was more Freedom in Freedom Boat Club.

Went with a member and was very disappointed with the 1/2 the experience. Boat ran out of gas(boat was not fueled properlyfrom the start)and we were stranded and almost hit by a cruise ship. The member was also charged unfairly for the associated fees as we were towed/stranded for more than half. Appreciate the harbour island freedom for towing us out but the leadership at the ricks thoroughly needs to be looked at

We completed our New Member Orientation today and had a great time! Captain Ted and all the dock masters were very professional. While we were on the water Captain Ted made both my husband and I feel comfortable. He ensured we both had enough knowledge to get out in the water safely. We are looking forward to our maiden voyage!!!!

From the reservation process to the boarding of the boat everything went exceptional. The quality of the boat was in top shape. There were no issues on our outing and the arrival back was greeted with attends that would be considered a class act.

I offer free pontoon boat rides for friends of mine that live in the 55plus community, and every ride is a pleasure for them and me. It is something that otherwise they may not get the opportunity to experience it. Good for Freedom Boat Club and I tell them all how good of a company that FBC is and way better than buying a boat.
