From first outings to favorite summer memories.
Loved our day on Casco Bay and the helpful dock workers at Yarmouth. Thank you all.
Everything about my training at Freedom Boat Club at the Yarmouth Boat Yard location was top notch! Capt. Michael Ferland was very professional, informative and personable.
My family and I are so glad we joined Freedom Boat Club of Maine. We have been very satisfied with the cleanliness and availability of their boats. The dockside crew have been so helpful and kind. The Club has opened up a new world within Maine for us. We should have joined sooner.
This was our first year of joining Freedom Boat Club and a great time we had. From our first call to inquire about the club, to training and onto the water, the entire staff has been the best! Very helpful and courteous staff at whichever site you choose for your boating adventure! We would HIGHLY recommend anyone considering boating to give FBC a try. We love it and are very excited for our next season!
Best club we have ever joined! My husband and I are so thrilled to be FBC members. The FBC staff has helped us learn how to safely handle the well maintained boats. As confident captains, we have dashed out of our business to go explore Casco Bay our beloved coast and see Maine life from a different perspective. As business owners, we are so busy! To be able to get on a boat and enjoy the time out without the responsibility of all the maintenance and care has allowed us to focus on fun! Thank you so much for bringing so much joy into our lives this summer! #priceless

What should I know about fishing?
Anyone over the age of 16 needs a fishing license. Residents and nonresidents may obtain fishing licenses online or from agents throughout the State (sporting goods stores, many convenience stores, town clerks and turnpike service centers, or from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife office in Augusta. Note: Not all town clerks issue nonresident licenses.
A person is required to keep his/her fishing license with him/her at all times while fishing or transporting fish and must exhibit their license for inspection by any warden, department employee, guide or landowner upon request. An electronic license or permit can be displayed in lieu of a physical paper license or permit. Possession of fishing tackle on the waters of this State without a fishing license is prima facie evidence of fishing in violation of the law.

How often can I boat? Is it unlimited?
Freedom Boat Club is truly unlimited boating. We allow up to 4 rolling reservations at any given time. Simply put – you can have 4 reservations on the books and once you use one, you free one up. You may book reservations up to 6 months in advance! On top of that, we allow unlimited spur of the moment booking. No reservation required. This works great during the week and at the very beginning or late in the season.
How many reservations am I allowed at a time?
Most reservations are for 1⁄2 day periods – 8:30 am – 1 pm or 2 pm to 1⁄2 hour before sunset. To make a full day reservation, you need to book two of the 1⁄2 day slots. You can have up to 4 reservations in our system at one time. It’s a rolling reservation system, so as you use one, it rolls off and you can add another. You are also allowed unlimited same day reservations, which do not count against your 4 in the system. You can call our Dockmaster as often as you like and if there are available boats that day, you are welcome to use them.
To keep it fair for everyone and prevent the weekends from stacking too far in advance, only 2 of your 4 reservation can be weekend reservations. Also, you can only book either Saturday or Sunday on the same weekend. This helps ensure that everyone has a shot to get out on a given weekend.
How does the waitlist work?
You can waitlist a specific boat or waitlist any boat on a specific day. If the boat becomes available, our Dockhands will contact members on the waitlist in chronological order. Please note, if they cannot reach you, they will reach out to the next member on the list.
HELPFUL TIP: Some members have set a specific ring tone for FBC Dock Phones to help make sure they don’t miss these calls.
