Who we are

About us

Freedom Boat Club launched here in the UK in April 2019 in Portsmouth, and experienced an overwhelming positive reaction from the market enabling us to continue our growth. In May 2022, we opened our second location in the Solent at Hythe Marina Village, followed by Windermere in the stunning Lake District in September 2022, with our first location in the South West opening in Torquay in Spring 2023. And more to come!

Our Value

Let’s take a nautical adventure.

At the time, the concept was considered revolutionary and break-through. Boaters were either traditional boat owners, or friends of boat owners. There were no boat clubs, fractional boating, boating timeshare, or even many boat rental facilities. When Freedom Boat Club launched, this new offering presented an exciting new alternative that opened the waterways to newcomers as well as lapsed boaters.

In May of 2019, Freedom Boat Club was acquired by Brunswick Corporation. A leader in the marine space, Brunswick’s portfolio includes Mercury Marine engines along with boat brands including Bayliner, Quicksilver, Boston Whaler, Cypress Cay Pontoon Boats, and Sea Ray among several others.
