The Freeman Difference

From a backyard
to the benchmark.

Freeman Boatworks started with one idea: build the ultimate offshore fishing platform.

01The idea

Build a boat that could redefine an industry, tame heavy seas and carry serious anglers farther, faster and safer than anything before it.

02How we got here

The long
way around.

  1. 2007

    The backyard

    Billy Freeman builds his first hull, the Freeman 33, in a modest backyard workshop in South Carolina. It rides like nothing else on the water, and the captains who run it spread the word.

  2. Growing

    The fleet grows

    Demand builds a lineup. 34s, 37s and the long-range 42 earn Freeman a reputation in fishing towns up and down the coast and across the islands.

  3. Today

    300,000 sq. ft.

    Freeman now builds in a purpose-built, state-of-the-art 300,000 sq. ft. facility in Moncks Corner, with new boats leaving the factory every day. The same hands-on craftsmanship and attention to detail that launched the first boat still guide every hull.

  4. Next

    Signature

    From that first prototype to today’s Freeman 56, the mission hasn’t changed: build the most capable offshore catamarans on the planet, made in the USA, and sell them factory direct.

01

Made in the USA

Every hull is built in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, by the people whose names are on the building.

02

Factory direct

No dealer in the middle. You buy from, sea trial with and get service from the people who built your boat.

03

The ride

Twin hulls, a cushion of air and decades of refinement add up to a ride owners can’t stop talking about.

04

Never satisfied

Freeman keeps redesigning, from the all-new 29 to the Signature 56.

03Where we’re headed

Not a slogan.
A crew.

Freeman Boatworks isn’t just building boats. We’re building a movement. One offshore run and it’s clear this community is different. It’s not only the speed or the ride, it’s the culture behind the wheel. As we grow, we stay grounded in what got us here: integrity, craftsmanship and a direct connection with the people who run our boats.
