Freedom Boat Club has signed an alliance agreement with\u00a0 Jeanneau, a French boatmaking group,\u00a0 to cooperatively develop Freedom Boat Club franchises among its European\u00a0 dealer network.<\/p>\n

According to Freedom Boat Club President and CEO John Giglio, the FBC franchise model is now being offered to Jeanneau retailers in Europe who have the opportunity to develop FBC locations in their local market using Jeanneau outboard-powered boats.<\/p>\n

Local Freedom Boat Club Lake George members will now have the opportunity to enjoy\u00a0 boating on multiple continents, something club owners Matt and Rebecca O\u2019Hara are excited to offer area residents.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Freedom Boat Club Lake George members can now travel to over 150 domestic\u00a0 locations and with the international locations on the horizon, we expect demand for our\u00a0 club to increase,\u201d said Rebecca. \u201cFor less than the cost of a seasonal dock space members can boat from New York, to California, to now France. It is an incredible model and we\u00a0 can\u2019t wait to hear stories from our member\u2019s travels.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Jeanneau European alliance grew out of a strong relationship with the Groupe\u00a0 Beneteau brands here in the U.S., as a growing number of our franchisees have placed Jeanneau, Four Winns and Glastron outboard boats in their fleets,\u201d said Giglio.<\/p>\n

Based on current interest and development activity, Giglio expects to announce multiple Freedom Boat Clubs operations in France this spring, with additional expansion elsewhere throughout Europe to follow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boat clubs are a real trend that our dealers are keen to develop,\u201d said Jean-Paul Chapeleau, Jeanneau CEO. \u201cFor Jeanneau dealers, it\u2019s a unique opportunity to bene fit\u00a0 from an experienced partner while launching this new service to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
