Great location with restaurants near to dock and eat at. The crew were very nice & helpful. Was disappointed with the hurricane deck boat I received for my reservation. The boat was not clean. I advised the crew of the steering issue and the non functioning gas gauge.

Love the facility, love the boats, but their new reservation system sucks…In past years when the Daylight Savings time changed back to Standard time, they adjusted the hours of your weekend reservation…Now?Now they didn’t change a thing, even though the sun sets earlier…So the morning reservation is 5hrs, the afternoon is only 3 ….Barely enough time for any distant location…Yesterday had to stay local, next thing we knew, we had to bring the boat back to the dock…

I orginally reserved the boat at the Madeira location and took the boat out which was fairly new and it wasn":t working properly. I had 8 people on the boat and they didn"t have any more boats for us so 8 of us had to drive to Johns Pass location and get another boat. Some of these people traveled far.Also the Madeira location now doesn't have any bathrooms. They should get a porty potty there. I feel sorry for the workers there. A bathroom is a necessityWe got to Johns pass and got the boat I am doing a survery on. I was very pleased we were able to get another boat. However i had that boat last week and mentioned to them going in reverse was quite an effort to do. The boat hasn"t been fixed. We had a great day yesterday however very frusterating boats aren"t taken care of.They need to be repaired. Both os those boatsAnd today I went on a boat tour in Lake Tarpon. Our boat went under the cement bridge and the other boat also went under the bridge and she should have realized she wasn"t going to make it and tore the whole bimini off and it bent in half. Then they said we had to go back cause a boat was damaged but it wasn"t the one I was on and cut the boat tour 45 min early.i drove an hour to get to that location and was on the the boat shorter than the time i drove to get there and back home. The boat that got damaged was still working but i get it was damaged but why did the other boats have to go back early. Our boat was not damaged. They should have continued the tour for us.

We've belonged to the boat club 3 years now and go out various locations. A few weeks back we were given a pontoon boat that was dented up so bad the front door could not even close. Then we were 1/2 way to an island and realize it was roach invested with German roaches. Not sure what else I can say! I am a person that leaves good reviews too but this is ridiculous. There was no excuse for a dirty A _ _ dented up boat! The workers are always friendly. I am not blaming the them. May need to invest in better boats that aren't dented up or roach invested.

I can’t say enough about the staff at this location. They were extremely helpful loading and unloading. It was a rainy day so they gave us some close spots to fish and they paid off. Tex was very helpful and explained all the details of this location as this was our first time here. Also the Publix and McDonalds boat side just down the IRC. I’ve never had McDonalds Dockside. They made the sun shine for us on a rainy day. Join freedom for the boats. Come to John’s Pass for the amazing service. Thanks again! Rob and Sue

Tex Purvis was great! We went to Egmont Key and he reached out to us several times to ensure we are ok! Highly recommend Freedom and Tex!

OMG…Big Will and Tex are the best in customer service. Today was obviously a busy day so to see the two of them working together to get everything done and keep all of us customers happy was awesome to see. Of course I am sure my generous tip may have had something to do with my own experience. So here’s my tip to y’all….go big on your tips and you will get quality Big Will and Tex.

Awesome Club with a wide variety of boats. We happen to stop by on a cold day this last time, but we use the Freedom Boat Club at John’s Pass quite a few times. When your done for the day, go to Crabby’s across the street or the boardwalk across the Pass.

Update: In spite of Freedom Boat Club's suggesting we "move" over the phone, their noise levels have been MUCH lower/better over the last 8-10 days. Maybe their radio broke? Or maybe a new trend. Much appreciated!

Madeira beach location: David, Noah and Dan are the best. They worked so hard to get so many boats in and out quickly! They all were very friendly, personable and helpful. Also during my lesson with Cpt Scott I learned so much. He is an excellent instructor, patient, calm and very easy to learn from. I love the freedom boat club mainly because of the quality of the employees but I’ve always had good reliable boats, as well!
