Freedom Boat Club announced yesterday that it is expanding into Puerto Rico. The flagship location in the territory will be in Fajardo at the Safe Harbor Puerto del Rey marina.
“We believe there is an opportunity to successfully expand Freedom Boat Club across Puerto Rico as one of the world’s top boating destinations and one of the most popular activities in the region,” Louis Chemi, vice president of the Freedom Franchise Network, said in a statement. “This expansion into Puerto Rico represents the beginning of our continued efforts to replicate the successful model we have built stateside and provide a pathway to introduce more global consumers to the on-water lifestyle.”
The new club location will be owned and operated by franchisee Mike Centeno, a Puerto Rico native and entrepreneur.
“We believe Puerto Rico is a prime market for the growth of Freedom Boat Club,” Centeno said in the statement. “This is the first in what we expect to be multiple locations around the island.”
