Done winterizing for good?
Trade the upkeep for the fun part.
Every fall, boat owners face the same list: winterize it, wrap it, haul it, store it, then pay to do it all in reverse come spring. Then there's the slip, the insurance, and whatever surprise repair shows up in June.
This season, hand us the whole list. When you join the club, we'll list and sell your boat for you at no cost, store it all winter for free while it's on the market, and have a clean, fueled, maintained boat ready for you next summer at any of our 10 Michiana locations.
THE OFFER
Three things we take off your plate
We sell it
We market, show, and sell your boat to buyers. No listing fees, no broker commission, and no hassle for you.
We store it
While it's listed, we store your boat through the winter, free. No storage bill, no boat in the driveway, one less thing on your fall to-do list.
You keep boating
Next summer, reserve from 60+ boats across 10 Michiana locations and 440+ clubs worldwide. We clean, fuel, and maintain them. You just show up.

GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently asked questions
Who is this offer for?
Boat owners who are ready to trade ownership for membership. Join Freedom Boat Club of Michiana this fall, and we'll handle selling and storing the boat you have now.
Is it really no fees and no commission?
Yes. A typical broker charges around 10% of the sale price, and many add listing fees on top. With this offer, you pay us nothing to sell your boat.
How does the free winter storage work?
While your boat is listed for sale with us, we store it through the winter at no cost to you. That's one less storage bill, and one less thing to think about this fall.
What kinds of boats do you take?
Most recreational powerboats in good condition: bowriders, pontoons, tritoons, center consoles, deck boats, and more. Tell us what you have and we'll take a look.
How is my boat valued?
We'll walk through your boat's value together, based on its condition and what similar boats are selling for around Michiana, before anything is listed.
Can I combine this with other offers?
This promotion can't be combined with other active promotional offers. If you're weighing more than one, a Membership Executive can help you pick the one that saves you the most.
What if my boat hasn't sold by spring?
We'll talk through your options together well before the season starts. A Membership Executive will walk you through every detail before you sign anything.
How does membership work?
Pay a one-time entry fee, choose a Weekday, Freedom, or Seasonal membership, and get trained for free. Then reserve boats online and enjoy unlimited daily boating across all 10 Michiana locations, plus 440+ Freedom Boat Club locations worldwide.
STORAGE SPACE IS LIMITED
Get out of ownership before the snow flies.
We only have so much winter storage to go around. Reach out now and let's get your boat sold, stored, and off your mind.
