Freedom Boat Club Adds 200th Franchise

Freedom Boat Club, a division of Brunswick Corporation, has announced its 200th franchise location. The official announcement was made during the 2019 International Boatbuilders Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) trade show in Tampa, Florida. Glenn Bergoffen, owner of the Tampa area franchise locations, has added another location – this one in Madeira Beach, Florida.

Now serving more than 40,000 members around the United States, Canada and Europe, Freedom Boat Club continues to earn national awards including the top spot from Entrepreneur magazine in the Misc. Recreational Business Category for the second year and No. 270 in the overall 2019 Franchise 500® list. In addition, Freedom Boat Club was just named to Inc. Magazine 5000 list.

At Freedom Boat Club, the motto is “Boating Made Simple.” The club model allows the member to enjoy all the perks of the water while the company takes care of the purchasing, maintaining, insuring and other aspects of boating. Members can take advantage of a fleet of boats and social events that the club has to offer – and with the reciprocity opportunities, club members can enjoy Freedom Boat Club anywhere there is a location. It’s as simple as reserving the boat, showing up, getting the keys and enjoying the day.
