Love this club. I've been a member for 4+ years and enjoy it immensely. I've accessed FBC locations in other states when traveling which is one of the best features. Brandon at the Lake Austin club is aces. He anticipates our needs because he's taken the time to get to know us. Highly recommend!
Freedom Boat club makes it SO easy to enjoy a stress free day on any lake. We had a lovely day on Lake Austin and great food choices down by the dam.
Went to the Sandy Creek location of the Freedom Boat Club of Austin yesterday and it was PERFECT! Great facility, the boat was in perfect condition and the staff was outstanding! I've been an FBC member for 2 years and it's hands down the BEST way to get out on the water! No maintenance, no slip fees or storage, no hassle or extra wear and tear on your vehicle from towing. One very reasonable monthly fee that covers everything. WAY cheaper than buying a boat and ZERO hassle! When you get to FBC the dock staff is there to check you out, then you go have a great time. When you're done, you text the dock phone when you're 10 minutes out and they're at the dock waiting to help. They send you a text receipt for your gas and you're DONE! Don't forget to tip the dock staff, they work their tails off to give you a great experience!
We had such a great time on Lake Austin today! As members from South Florida, it’s been really nice to experience this location, such a beautiful spot and an easy, smooth experience all around. James was incredibly helpful, kind, and accommodating. He made us feel welcome and made the whole process seamless. Huge thanks to him and the entire team for being so friendly and professional. We’re so grateful for you guys and look forward to coming back again soon. Amazing job, everyone!
Great day on Lake Austin with a clean and comfortable Freedom Boat. Super helpful staff.

Buying a boat from Freedom Boat Club - Austin in Austin, Texas? Use this guide to evaluate any listing before you commit.
Match the boat to your waters
Pontoons and deck boats suit calm lakes. Deep-V hulls handle chop on larger lakes and coastal water. Center consoles are versatile for fishing. Ask Freedom Boat Club - Austin which models suit the waterways near Austin, Texas.
Inspect the hull carefully
Look for stress cracks, blistering, or repairs on fiberglass hulls. Check the transom for soft spots by pressing firmly — a solid transom feels rigid. Osmotic blistering costs thousands to repair.
Check engine hours
Inboard and outboard engines are typically rated to 1,500–3,000 hours. Low-hour engines with service records are worth more. Ask to see oil change and winterization records for any boat at Freedom Boat Club - Austin.
Request a sea trial
Test the boat on the water before buying. Run it at full throttle. Listen for unusual noises. Check that the throttle and steering respond smoothly. Reputable dealers like Freedom Boat Club - Austin will accommodate this request.
Verify title and registration
