Great points! We’re going to come in from Arizona and are planning a year ahead of time before our move. We’re excited, but also considering the reality of a few changes 😊

Man…. I was looking for any explanation about it … 😮

They are downloading ur patterns 4 later

Bro, shut your channel down. Do give anymore advice or suggestions. Did you say Gators eat once a year?😂

i agree Epperson parking is wrong - why did they put it on the opposite side from the main beach ?

For me being a parent of 3 young boys, I'd pick Mirada over Epperson.

Great Video

so if i buy the platinum pass that includes 11 parks does that include universal orlando as well?

how far ahead can you book and how late can you stay out on the water?

I can certainly see the pros and cons of both. I'll tell you...we moved onto the Manatee river about three years ago and luckily have boat lift in our back yard...but before that...we used the boat ramps and its truly takes all the fun out of boating. If your not there early in the morning...your not getting a parking spot for the truck and trailer. End of story. Plus we counted 9 boats sitting in the water to go in for the day waiting their turn last Sunday. Just a complete hassle for most. And you can store your boat at a marina and have them have your boat ready but often times down here in Florida...your fighting the traffic to even get down to the marina. If you can't swing to live on the water...and I could not until I was 50 years old...then I think a boat club might just be your next best thing.

Can you book the boat only for 1 day or how that works? Can you take it for a 3 days trip etc?

I’ve heard a lot of bad reviews on the pass, what was your expireience? Looking to go to Busch gardens and seaworld soon

Just saw your video as we are considering membership with Freedom Boat Club, we wondered if you could give us an idea of how much it cost for fuel each time you took the boats out? We live on the east coast of Florida and would plan to be on the water often, it would be helpful to get an idea on fuel costs to factor in to our monthly budget. Many thanks!

We moved here quickly too in 2021. 😂

I live in Chicago so would want boats here for Lake Michigan in the summer.

I don't understand the reciprocals. Is it 4x a year, total. Or 4x per location. And if the latter, what constitutes a location?

What turned me off about it was that you had to turn the boat in by 5pm! And overnight trips were not easy to arrange, and no night boating.

I just contacted them. Im not so much just looking for a boatshare thing. I was hoping for more of a club where I can learn things. Im looking to eventually get a nice cabin cruiser and do some liveaboard river crusing. And id like to get some training and education for that.

Great video, and your points were spot on. I have been considering for over a year, and a few things you didn’t mention I’ve found in the research I’ve done. You can get boats in any of the other locations, but only 4/year/location, which is great for traveling, especially if you are pulling a trailer. My current costs on the coast of GA will be around $6800, 389/month for 7 day agreement. I am interested in you “pulling back” though, do they pause at all, or will you have to pay an initial payment again?

Just bought a boat last yr and worth every penny. We can take it out any where at anytime . Yes, worth the expense.

When you make vids like this, going through a list, it helps if you "bookmark" each item on the list that you are going through. Just makes it easier to nav your video. BTW, thanks and nice job otherwise.

I've been tossing this idea around for a long time. We live in Pensacola so we would have 14 locations in our home base area, 7 within an hour of our house. Can you tell me anything about the larger boats that some locations have? I know you have to pay extra to use them but I can't find a list of locations that even have them. Thanks for the great video!

I'm interested in central Florida lakes.

Video was very informative.

If you stop and then rejoin do you have to pay the $4-$6k again?

Damn you bought all that equipment for 300 views, lmao

You hit the nail on the head. I use Freedom in St. Augustine and reciprocal in Ny ( snow bird). I have been a member for 5 years and would never buy a boat again.

Great video! We have been contemplating joining for a few hours, lol. We usually rent a boat for $950 each time, so thinking if we join and use a boat 6 times a year, its cheaper than renting. We'll certainly be using reciprocal priveleges as we visit Tampa!

How many months do you pay the membership for? Is it for 12 months?

Townhouse or Single Family Home?
