Welcome to Freedom Boat Club of Madisonville:  

Picturesque, Casual & Rich

Being one of the oldest communities in Louisiana, Madisonville is a flavorful gumbo of all the great things southeast Louisiana has to offer. Originally named "Cokie", from the French word Coquille meaning shell, the town's name was changed in 1811 to honor President James Madison.

Because of its position on the Tchefuncte River, the town's history has always been shaped by water. As a result of this rich history, the town has eight sites listed on the National Historic Register. The dwellings on the register range in architecture from Greek revival to Creole cottage. Be sure to get a glimpse of these historic structures during your visit.

The Tchefuncte is one of the most scenic rivers in the state. With its moss-draped cypress and oak lined banks, an afternoon cruise will bring you such delight that it will almost be sinful. Watch carefully for the Ospreys and Bald Eagles as they search over the saw grass for prey.
