In Sarasota, they are quoting 5000.00 for the entry/first year and then on the 13th month 199.00 per month for year membership or 99.00 per month for 6 month membership.  We are debating ourselves about joining and are looking for some feedback.  What area are you looking in and how much did they quote you?

I too am thinking seriously about joining. I  have been talking to the Punta Gorda club and they are offering the same price ($5K plus $199/mo starting in second year).

They say they currently have 21 members at Punta Gorda and 6 boats - 3 Hurricane deck boats, 2 center consoles and one pontoon boat.

I am looking for some feedback from someone that has experience with the Freedom Boat Club to see what they say.

Current price for the membership intitial fee is $5000.00 (as of 5/21/2009) but I've have heard of people who bought resale memberships for less than that. Apparently, they are just as good as buying the original  - except cheaper.

Does anyone know if that is correct???

$5k to join, $199/mo for 12 mo/yr plan and 129/mo for 6 mo plan. I spoke with a rep regarding the Venice FL club.

I've known folks who bought resale mamberships and apparently they are as good as the original but cheaper.

Other facts I got from SW FL sales rep:  

1- you are a member of ALL SW Fl. clubs from Tamps - Sarasota-Venice-Englewood-Punta Gorda - Ft. Myers AND Naples. That means you can go to any of those clubs and boat as much as you want!!!

2 -I own 3 boats on a lake in OH. It can get costly to maintain a boat. The only thing  you pay for when you use their boat is the gas.

3- they replace their boats after 3 years - no old clunkers

4- they are covered with insurance (but if you take someone else out you might want to check on your own coverage)

5 - they have VHS radio's and tow insurance. You have a backup if your engine dies offshore !!! (not a trivial feature to have)

I'm interested in the 6 mo plan sicne I winter in FL and am in the Ohio area for the summer. I like you $99.00/mo rate better. They quoted me $129/mo for the half year plan.

BTW, the person I spoke with was Randy Underwood I believe.
