Freedom Boat Club North Texas

🌅 The Secret Boating Season: Why October Is North Texas’ Best-Kept Boating Secret If you think boating season ends when summer does… think again. October might just be the best month of the year to be on the water in North Texas — and hardly anyone realizes it. At Freedom Boat Club of North Texas, we call it the Secret Boating Season — that magical window between the summer crowds and the holiday rush when the lakes calm down, the weather cools off, and every outing feels like your own private escape. 🍂 Perfect Weather, Peaceful Lakes In October, the mornings are crisp, the afternoons are warm, and the water is as smooth as glass. No jet ski traffic. No long marina lines. Just you, your crew, and that wide-open lake view. It’s that rare time when every trip feels like a midweek getaway — even if it’s just for a few hours after work. 🚤 Boating Without the Hassle The best part? You can enjoy it all without owning a boat. Members at Freedom Boat Club simply reserve online, show up, and go. We handle the cleaning, maintenance, fueling, and storage — so you can focus on what boating is really about: freedom, connection, and fun. Our Members Enjoy: 🌊 Unlimited boating at Lake Texoma & Lake Lewisville 👨✈️ Full training included — no experience required 🌍 Reciprocal access to 400+ Freedom Boat Club locations worldwide 🧭 The Lifestyle You Didn’t Know You Needed Our members range from outdoor-loving families and retirees to busy professionals looking to unplug. Some spend weekends exploring new coves at Lake Texoma; others grab lunch-hour cruises at Lake Lewisville just to reset between meetings. However you use it, the Club turns “someday I’ll own a boat” into “let’s go boating this afternoon.” 📲 Ready to See It for Yourself? October really is the secret season on North Texas lakes — and it’s the best time to join. No storage. No stress. No waiting until next year. Just Freedom — the way boating was meant to be. #FreedomBoatClub #FreedomBoatClubNorthTexas #LakeTexoma #LakeLewisville #NorthTexasBoating #DallasLifestyle #LakeLife #OutdoorLiving #BoatingSeason #JoinTheClub

Endless Summer: Why Fall Boating is North Texas’ Best-Kept Secret Most people pack away summer when the school year begins. But in North Texas, we know the lake lifestyle doesn’t stop with Labor Day. In fact, fall might be the best time of year to enjoy the water. At Freedom Boat Club of North Texas, we call it Endless Summer—a season where the water is calmer, the sunsets are brighter, and the memories last longer. Here’s why: After-School Adventures: Instead of screen time, families can reset on the water. A quick evening cruise or splash in the lake beats homework blues every time. Wide-Open Lakes: With fewer crowds, fall boating means quiet coves, smoother rides, and more time doing what you love. Seasonal Fun: From floating football watch parties to prime striper fishing at Lake Texoma, the experiences are endless. The best part? With a Freedom Boat Club membership, you don’t worry about storage, winterizing, or maintenance—you just show up and enjoy. Fall is North Texas’ boating secret season, and Endless Summer is waiting for you.

Smooth Sailing into Summer: Why Boating Safety is Always in Season As National Safe Boating Week wraps up and Memorial Day Weekend ushers in the unofficial start of summer, there's an electric excitement in the air and on the water. At Freedom Boat Club of North Texas, we love this time of year. Longer days, warmer weather, and the open lake calling your name. But with all the fun comes a serious responsibility: boating safely. Whether you're a seasoned boater or just starting your journey with us at Lake Lewisville or Lake Texoma, here’s a truth we live by: the most memorable boating days are also the safest. Why Safety is More Than a Checklist Safe boating isn’t just about checking boxes before leaving the dock, it’s about creating an environment where everyone onboard can relax, enjoy, and come back with only great stories to tell. A few essentials we remind every member of our club: Wear a Life Jacket: It’s the seatbelt of the water. Style matters—but so does safety. Make sure it fits and is Coast Guard-approved. Know the Weather: Texas skies can turn quickly. We teach our members to read the water, respect the wind, and always plan ahead. Stay Sober: There’s no autopilot on a boat. Operating under the influence isn’t just illegal—it’s dangerous. We encourage everyone to boat smart. Understand the Gear: Freedom Boat Club vessels come equipped with safety features and local navigation tips. Training is part of the journey - we’ve got your back. What Sets Freedom Boat Club Apart? When you join Freedom Boat Club of North Texas, you’re not just getting access to a fleet; you’re getting a support system. Every member gets hands-on training with U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captains, and we’re always available to walk you through local water conditions, route planning, and best practices. And with reciprocal access to 400+ clubs around the world, you can count on consistency, reliability, and a strong safety culture wherever you launch. Memorial Day Weekend: The Launchpad for Summer This weekend, as families gather and friends hit the water, we invite you to make boating part of your summer story—with safety as your co-captain. Because for us, safety isn’t a seasonal message—it’s a lifestyle. Here’s to smart boating, sunny skies, and unforgettable summer memories. 🌊⚓🚤 #FreedomBoatClubNTX #SafeBoating #MemorialDayWeekend #BoatingLife #LakeTexoma #LakeLewisville #SmoothSailing

Swap to Flops: A Texoma Tradition with a Purpose! At Freedom Boat Club of North Texas, we love a good tradition—especially one that celebrates the start of boating season! Last weekend, we hosted our Swap to Flops Party at Lake Texoma, where we embraced the legendary Burning of the Socks tradition that signals the arrival of spring on Lake Texoma. We also introduced swap to flops at our Lake Lewisville location as part of the St Patrick's Day celebration at the dock. As we swapped out warm socks for flip-flops, we also came together for a great cause. In the spirit of giving, we’re donating new socks to the Texoma Family Shelter in Denison, Texas—because while we’re kicking off our shoes for the season, we know that warm, fresh socks can make a big difference for those in need. A huge thank you to our members and guests who joined the fun, and to everyone who contributed to our sock drive. We’re grateful to be part of such a fantastic community—both on and off the water!
