A fantastic way to boat - just reserve your slot online, rock up and boat. And when you are done, you get welcomed back by a friendly Dock Master who takes care of cleaning and refuelling, leaving you free to have a refreshing cup of tea in the club house. A super friendly crew who can build your skills and knowledge at a speed that suits you...

What could be simpler? I choose the day I want to go boating, book a boat of my choice on the easy to use system, arrive to be greeted by the friendly staff and off I go. I've used my membership so much, to entertain friends, enjoy the sunshine, I've even had a work meeting on board. Best decision I made was joining FBC!

What can I say - I just cannot recommend Freedom Boat club UK enough! What a great team, super friendly, always very welcoming and literally cannot do enough for you. Great selection of brand new powerboats that are maintained to the highest standard... so easy to reserve online when you want and if you need to change, no problem...

We had a lovely time visiting the Torquay club on a weekend away from Portsmouth. Ollie was knowledgeable and friendly with giving recommendations for the area, both in and out of the water! He gave us a call and pointed us towards and area with dolphins, which we all loved. Great location and crew, highly recommend!

Freedom Boat Club is a major proponent of boater education and safety. Each and every one of our Clubs provide FREE training to our local members regarding the safe use and operation of your ‘home club’ fleet. This generally includes classroom and on-water training activities. Members must complete this training course before they can start reserving boats.

All boats have required equipment (per country guidance) including life jackets, a fire extinguisher, sound equipment, and flares. Boats are checked for this equipment by both the dock staff and member prior to departure.
