My wife and I took out TOONSDAY and the boat ran perfectly. Dock hands were very friendly and informative. The captain at the dock was extremely proffessìonal and informed me how to navigate the local waters. I give them and our experience at Freedom Boat Club Pier 77 a 5 star rating. Will be back again Saturday.

Freedom Boat Club, especially the Pier 77/Anna Maria Island location, is terrific. The staff is great and always so pleasant and helpful. Their fleet selection is also great. Julie C

The staff at Anna Maria Pier 77 was awesome! The boat was in great shape. This was our first visit in the area. The staff was very helpful and it was another great day on the water. We really appreciated all that was shared about water safety and our options traveling the waterways. Always a great experience with Freedom BC.

Great experience using this reciprocal location. The boat was in good condition though the Bluetooth function on the stereo wasn’t working. The staff were friendly and professional. Great location to get some speed and open water experience. We ended up going to Passage Key (whats left of it) and cruising the bay. Will definitely be back.

Great boat. Staff got us going quickly. Go Carlos!! Staff also got us back safely and helped us get our gear on the cart and going. We appreciate their efforts in making our boat days easy.

An incredible journey to Anna Maria Island with its aqua colored water and such beautiful scenery. The weather was perfect for our excursion. Absolutely gorgeous day all around.

Johnny took time to train me on how to dock in windy conditions and it worked perfectly. The staff at FBC Anna Maria were all ready and easy to work with and the boat was great.

We are Tampa Bay Area members. We have been for over 5 years. Went there for a reciprocal today. Beautiful area. We got caught in a thunderstorm on the way back. We were thankful to get back without getting struck by lightning. Rick - this is the person- I use this term loosely- that received our boat incoming. We had just made it through a storm thankfully. He was only concerned about getting our credit card to pay for the gas we used. Also he was concerned about his own well being in the storm we just drove 30 minutes through .honestly, this was the worst experience ever with freedom. The area is beautiful, but when you deal with an employee that is so self centered and only paying for the fuel which was probably $30. Rude, screaming at me. He shouldn’t work there and I hope if we choose to go there again he isn’t employed. He does not deserve a job. I do hope freedom calls us. We have never left a negative review. But this was a ridiculous experience. Super negative

22ft Pathfinder I reserved ran terribly; hard to steer, could not correct by trimming engine. Unsafe to operate by anyone but a very experienced boater. Very disappointed!

We're new members and our main club is based out of Marina Jack but we use this marina more often to go fishing. The dock staff is great super friendly and always helpful with our belongings.
Parking is easy and there's a little store on site as well for things you might've forgotten.

Love Freedom Boat Club! The boat was perfect! More importantly, the Dockmasters are, as usual, amazing. I frequent many FBC locations, and the customer service is second to none across the board! Joining FBC was the best decision I've made in a long time! Thanks to all!

The electronics were decent and the boat was almost brand new. The one thing I would recommend is a larger screens for the depth but also a screen that maps out the intercoastal to make it easier to navigate markers.

This is our favorite Marina. Great location with access to many boating activities and restaurants. The private waterway has deep enough access for a small vessel to get to the ICW, where it is 25mph north or south :) Great location. Easy access to Coquina Beach and Jewfish Island and locations to the north :)
