Freedom Boat Club UK
Freedom Boat Club offers a unique, hassle-free way to enjoy boating worldwide. Whether you’re an experienced enthusiast or a beginner, our mission is to provide unforgettable experiences and help you create lasting memories. With unlimited access to our fleet, comprehensive training, and all the joys of boating without the burdens, it’s as simple as reserving a boat and setting off. Established in 1989 in Sarasota, Florida, Freedom Boat Club has grown to become the world’s largest members-only boat club, now spanning over 400 locations across Europe and North America. In the UK, our clubs in Chertsey, Swanwick, and Hythe Marina Village welcome members daily, ensuring they enjoy their time on the water while we handle the logistics—fueling, cleaning, maintenance, and more.
Chertsey
Located along the serene non-tidal stretch of the Thames, Bates Wharf Marina offers a picturesque setting for leisurely boating. Cruise through the idyllic English countryside, pack a picnic to enjoy onboard, or moor up at one of the many riverside pubs, restaurants, or hotels. Historic landmarks are within easy reach—venture upstream to Runnymede, where the Magna Carta was sealed, or head to Windsor Castle. Alternatively, cruise downstream toward Hampton Court Palace for more iconic sights.
Swanwick
Opened in May 2024, Swanwick Freedom Boat Club is part of our Solent Hub, alongside Hythe Marina Village. Situated on the scenic River Hamble, this location offers access to numerous waterfront restaurants and provides a gateway to some of the best boating in the UK. From here, you can explore the Solent and its surrounding waters, with opportunities to visit the Isle of Wight and discover the beauty of the South Coast.
Hythe Marina Village
Launched in May 2022, Hythe Marina Village Freedom Boat Club is another key part of our Solent Hub, offering members unlimited access to Swanwick and Chertsey locations. The vibrant clubhouse at Hythe serves as a gathering point for members before heading out on the water. Conveniently located on Southampton Water, this spot offers quick access to popular destinations such as Ocean Village, Hamble, Calshot, Cowes, and Beaulieu. Whether you’re seeking a tranquil day on the water or an adventurous excursion, Hythe is the perfect starting point.
