Affordable Boating of North Florida named 2025 Top Sales Dealer for Key West Boats

The division of Freedom Boat Club of Northeast Florida has received the honor for the second year in a row

Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 6, 2026 – For the second year in a row, Affordable Boating of North Florida has been given the top sales award from Key West Boats for its remarkable achievement and excellence in sales and service. Affordable Boating of North Florida, a division of Freedom Boat Club of Northeast Florida (FBC), offers boaters an option to purchase a well-maintained, refurbished boat that was formerly part of the FBC fleet. Most of the boats in the FBC fleet are Key West boats, giving boaters a quality product that is clean, mechanically sound and ready for the water.

“Over the past year, our team has worked tirelessly to deliver unmatched service, exceptional value, and the boating experience our customers deserve,” said David Knight, Affordable Boating Sales Manager. “Key West Boats continues to set the standard for quality and performance, and we are proud to represent such an outstanding brand. We would like to thank our customers for making us North Florida’s number one Key West Boats dealer twice and we look forward to an exciting 2026 season.”

Affordable Boating of North Florida is responsible for purchasing, maintaining and refurbishing all the boats in FBC’s fleet. Affordable Boating maintains the boats while they are a part of FBC’s fleet, and after three years they bring the boats back to Affordable Boating where they are comprehensively refurbished, run through a 100-point inspection, receive a full service on the motor and are fully detailed before loading the boats on a new aluminum trailer and offered for sale.

“We are so proud of our team at Affordable Boating and congratulate them on this honor,” said Lisa Almeida, co-owner of Freedom Boat Club of Northeast Florida. “We have 135 boats in our fleet with the many of those being Key West boats. They are a top-notch product that our members love and with Affordable Boating’s excellent service, they are a great option for boaters looking to purchase their own boat.”

Customers can visit Affordable Boating of North Florida at their facility at 205 Commercial Drive in St. Augustine. The company has a dock system to allow customers to get to boat level to see which boat fits their needs and then get out on the water for a sea trial. The recognition from Key West reflects the trust and support of the customers, families and boating community that Affordable Boating of North Florida serves.
