This past weekend, a group of Freedom Boat Club employees joined more than 1,000 community volunteers for the annual Hillsborough River Coastal Cleanup in recognition of Brunswick Corporation's Sustainability Week.   During the cleanup, our team alone collected an impressive 15 bags of trash, as well as larger items including an e-bike and several traffic cones—highlighting the importance of regularly cleaning up our local waterways.   Participating in this cleanup each year enables us to give back to our community and aligns with our mission of promoting sustainable boating practices. We are proud to contribute to the health of our waterways and encourage others to join us in protecting natural resources.   Thanks to Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful and Captain Katie Falcon for your collective efforts in organizing the event.   #FreedomBoatClub #Sustainability #Cleanup

Happy National Dog Day! 🐶⚓ To help celebrate, we're outlining 5 essential safety tips for bringing your four-legged first mate aboard a boat: 1️⃣ Get a canine life vest A canine personal flotation device (PFD) is essential. You can find them at almost all pet shops and marine supply stores. 2️⃣ Train your dog to swim Before taking them along, we recommend getting your dog comfortable with water, even if you don’t plan for them to leave the boat. 3️⃣ Provide shade and drinking water To prevent your dog from overheating, stock your boat with plenty of fresh water and allow them to sit in a shaded area to escape the sun’s heat. 4️⃣ Train your dog to reboard the boat from the water Your dog needs a safe way to get back on the boat. Practice a reboarding procedure until they get the hang of it. 5️⃣ Assess weather conditions Check the weather ahead of time and re-assess the day-of. Rain, heavy wind, and/or choppy seas aren’t ideal conditions for boating with your dog. #BoatClass #NationalDogDay #Boating #Safety
