The experience at Freedom Boat Club's Ruskin location was a mixed bag. While the staff was friendly and welcoming, there were some issues with the boats, including broken radios and non-functioning livewells. However, the club's location and marina were great, and the boats were clean and well-maintained. The staff was also helpful and attentive, with some members receiving exceptional service from dock masters like Jesse and Captain Bill. Overall, the club's rating is affected by the inconsistent quality of the boats and the need for better maintenance and repair practices.
