New Boat Club Coming To Kirkland's Yarrow Bay

KIRKLAND, WA - From Freedom Boat Club: Freedom Boat Club (FBC) of Seattle owner Nick Hooge recently announced the forthcoming launch of a second club location at Yarrow Bay Marina in Kirkland, WA which is slated for an April 14th grand opening.

Hooge, who is opening his second club in the Seattle area in April of 2018, points to the exceptional success of the Freedom model as the driver for continued club expansion.

“Our first year of operation has been outstanding in the Seattle market as boaters and newcomers to the boating lifestyle alike have equally embraced the club concept and our proven and highly successful boat sharing model,” said Hooge. “Feedback from our club members, coupled with our research of the Kirkland market, made this decision to expand an easy one. Our members will now enjoy the best of both worlds, with two separate bodies of water that provide totally unique boating experiences.”

Freedom Boat Club is the world’s oldest and largest boat club, offering a fleet of more than 1600 boats in 30 states and Canada. In addition to the two Seattle and Kirkland club locations, Freedom Boat Club members enjoy reciprocal access to all 150+ Freedom Boat Clubs throughout North America, including the newly opened Tacoma and Bremerton locations and nearby Vancouver clubs. In addition, members enjoy free, unlimited boat training taught by licensed U.S. Coast Guard captains and have the opportunity to participate in special member events.

“At Freedom Boat Club, our members have discovered this investment is the absolute best entertainment dollar per value spent,” said Hooge. “Boating creates memories that last a lifetime. Nowhere else is life-long fun with friends and family this exciting, and this affordable.”

Grand opening festivities for the new Kirkland club are scheduled for Saturday, April 14 from 12-5pm.
