    We joined the sunset sailing cruise, which starts at 7p, and comes back into dock around 9p (maybe…read morea bit later). Captain and First Mate were great - very helpful. Captain runs a tight ship - very observant of all rules, keeps boat very clean. Both were willing to answer any question about the boat (even though they've probably answered every single one a thousand times or more - you'd never know from their response). Kind of unusual - if you want to, they will let you help a little bit on the boat - letting out sails etc. My son was *thrilled* to be given the duty of hoisting the gibb sail. The cruise is accompanied by suitable and inoffensive music - the night we rode it was toward the Jimmy Buffet side of things.... like I said - inoffensive. The evening we were on, the weather was quiet - too bad! Would have been nice to have had a slightly more exciting cruise - but not the charter boat's issue. (Does anyone know how to review Mother Nature on Yelp?) Before you go: - Call for reservation - they seem to regularly fill up their cruises. - Check the weather, and dress appropriately. It's always colder and windier on the water than you think it's going to be. - Leave everything you can on on shore - limited storage and you don't want to be messing with purses, camera bags and the like. - Budget $30 to $40 per person (2009 pricing) for the tour. - Bring extra cash for the bar service, if you want a beverage. - Non-marking shoes only, barefeet are fine. - No food allowed on board. - If you are prone to sea sickness, take your dramamine/gravol before you get on board. :-) - Children under a certain age (13?) must wear a life jacket - it's the law. My daugher was unhappy about this - oh well! - Sunset cruise is a bit more expensive than daytime cruise - about $6 a person, going from memory. - Remember your (compact) camera! You'll get some beautiful shots out there. Would I recommend: Yes. Would I return: Yes. Kid's loved it.

    If there was an option for zero stars that is what I would rate this. I can't tell you how the…read morecruise was because we never went. We got to the boat and we noticed that the seats in the back were filling up. We told the guy that if we didn't have a seat than we will not pay. He said you are already checked in. Everyone under 50 was told they had to go the front of the boat. We said we did not feel safe. He said " too bad I already have your money." After we argued with he said he would give us our money back if we promise not to come back again.". Some people moved to the front so there were seats in the back. We said there are seats there now does he want us to stay or go. He said he wants us to go. He gave us our $90 ($45 each) back and we left. He was very rude and did not even try to accommodate us. I guess if we were over 50 we would have had better treatment.

    This summer we have again met new couples who have wondered about Freedom Boat Club. Once we go for…read morea ride we explain the Club in detail and once they get back home they decide to become members. They hear our excitement and see the friendly staff. They hop on a clean boat - from the windshield to the motor cowling, to the boat exterior and the clean floor and seats, we explore the Lake(s) we are on and it makes perfrect cense to them to become part of FBC. Recenty our friends heard our FBC story on our boat outing togather and who's future son-in-law who heard about FBC from their boat outing with us. To him it made cense and he became a new member in St.Petersberg, FL. Yesterday we took friends out to tour Spring Lake, MI. They heard the same explaination, felt our excitment and could see how easy FBC makes boating and luv'd it. On our return to the docks we were met by staff who protrayed excellent customer service. The franchise owner (friend of ours) was giving new members their 4 hrs of training. He excuized himself from that couple to shake hands with the 4 of us, , and did that impress our friends ! ! ! ! FBC makes Boating Simple and we love it in MI as well as in the winter when we go to our home in Florida. It's a great organizeation ! ! Check it out soon !

    Great deck hands as I've become accustomed to at FBC. Really enjoyed Sam. I liked the boat we had,…read morethe Neptune. However, it wasn't very responsive. The ride from FBC out to Lake. Michigan. Reminds me a lot of the far end of the Chicago river. Pretty industrial. Great opportunity for birdwatching. I appreciate the reciprocal options among clubs outside of my home club.
