“We are especially pleased by our positive upward momentum in the overall rankings, along with our #1 ranking in the miscellaneous recreation business category,” said Freedom Boat Club President and CEO John Giglio. “Freedom Boat Club has experienced outstanding North American growth this past year and are poised for continued expansion including major international development in 2018.”
