My parents are members of Freedom. If I remember correctly, initiation was $5000 and it’s $500/mo during the season (May-Sept?). I believe a total of 4 people can be on one membership and prices don’t change based on how many people are members. On top of that, there are fuel charges that are based off usage. For a few hours, it’s around $15-30, assuming you’re cruising and not racing.

You can have 4 active reservations at a time. However, if there’s a boat open at a harbor day-of, you can request to rent it. Every time my parents have decided to take a boat out day-of, there’s a few to choose from at each harbor. Four harbors are part of the club.

To begin, you need to take the standard boat class. After so many times out on the boat, you can take intermediate/advanced/night classes. I’m sure there’s more, but that’s just what I’ve heard from my parents. This is their first season and they love it. They go 1-2x a week.
