Freedom Boat Club announced today it acquired the Freedom Boat Club of Greater Boston and Cape Cod franchise, the largest in the club network.
“This acquisition is an exciting step for Freedom Boat Club in the Northeast and a natural fit for our growth strategy,” FBC president Cecil Cohn said in a statement. “We’re acquiring a thriving club with a long runway for growth in a premier market, a state-of-the-art maintenance operations center we can leverage across our Northeast operations, and a high-performing boat dealership to diversify and advance our fleet resale capabilities.”
The Greater Boston and Cape Cod franchise was founded and grown under Matt Carrick and Matt O’Connor, who built one of the most successful FBC operations, the statement said.
Following the acquisition, O’Connor and Carrick will remain franchisees, continuing to operate their New Jersey locations in Ocean and Monmouth counties, and remaining involved in the ownership group running Freedom Boat Club of Ohio and Freedom Boat Club of Pittsburgh.
