Freedom Boat Club, the world’s largest membership-based boat club, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its newest location in Brisbane, Australia. Representing the 10th location in Australia, Freedom’s newest location is situated at Rivergate Marina, a premium site providing members with exclusive, direct access to the Brisbane River, one of the city’s most picturesque and iconic waterways.
This announcement marks Freedom Boat Club of Brisbane’s second location, owned and operated by seasoned franchise partner Brett Bolton, who brings over 26 years of expertise in the marine industry.
“We are excited to further expand our footprint in Brisbane with this new location,” said Brett Bolton, Franchise Owner, Freedom Boat Club of Brisbane. “The Brisbane River offers an unparalleled city setting for boating, and we are eager to provide an easy, affordable way for people to explore it.
