Tidbit of the Week: 

Being part of Freedom Boat Club has been such a highlight of Spring so far!

I’ve been loving island hopping and finding secluded beaches, but I have a whole bucket list of things I’m excited to do with the membership like…

  • Taking the boat down to Southport and docking for lunch

  • Exploring around Topsail

  • Going fishing

  • Finding the beach swings

If you’re not familiar with Freedom Boat Club they’re a membership club with 40+ boats docked in Marinas between Carolina Beach and Topsail that make it easy to get on the water! Memberships start at $350 / month after the initiation fee
