No, you will never have usage charges. Your only additional cost is for the fuel that you use.

Membership is open to boaters of any skill level, 25 years of age and older. Whether you’ve never boated before, or you’ve boated for years, Freedom Boat Club welcomes you as a member. Unlimited training is offered as part of your membership to ensure you are safe and confident on the water.

Boat usage is unlimited at your home location, subject to weather and availability.

As long as a member is present and in charge of the boat, you can bring friends, family, guests, children, colleagues, or even your favourite pet. Please note National Park Locations have restrictions.

We maintain a variety of boats. Each club location chooses its own fleet based on the needs and demands there. Feel free to browse through the individual club location pages on the website to view their fleet.

Our reservation system ensures that all members have equal access to the boats, plus members can make guaranteed reservations up to six months in advance.

Never. This is a private fleet. We do not rent any of the boats in our fleet. This allows us to better maintain the condition of our boats and ensures the highest possible level of fleet availability to our members.

All our vessels are covered with full insurance when operated by the licensed member, as the member you are liable for the excess when at fault.

Yes you can. Our family and friends membership allows up to four friends from different addresses to join on the one membership.

The club will show you through the local areas and boundary lines. This is dependant on the AMSA regulations of each vessel.

All our boats are fitted with required safety gear for the local conditions. This equipment is checked daily by our dock staff, plus you will be shown where it is on the boat every time you check out for a day on the water.

Pay a one-time joining fee and monthly fee. Contact your local club for more information on pricing and offers.

Up to 4 times per year per location. This is subject to availability and membership type
