Freedom Boat Club of Greater Boston & Cape Cod Freedom Boat Club of Ocean and Monmouth Counties, New Jersey

We are a Freedom Boat Club franchise owned and operated by the Carrick Group LLC/M&M Jersey Marine LLC. We operate 20 Massachusetts club locations and nine New Jersey (north Jersey shore) club locations with our operations center located in Plymouth, MA. Freedom Boat Club is the world's oldest and largest membership boat club with over 30 years of experience offering members access to over 400 locations in the U.S., Canada and Europe. We take care of the maintenance, cleaning, repair, insurance and storage. The fleet includes bowriders, pontoons, and center console fishing boats.

We work in this field because it's fun! Solitude. Fishing. Adventure. Sandbars. Sightseeing. Watersports. Family Time. This is why we do it. We do it for the fun. We do it for the firsts. We do it because we love to see the smiles, the pictures, the fish, and the accomplishment. We truly get joy from witnessing the joy we bring to others. Some would say we work so you can play. While we don't disagree, we don't always feel like what we do is work. We're pretty committed to the concept of successful and casual. Suits and ties have no place here, we traded those in long ago for boat shoes and sunscreen.
