Freedom Boat Club is expanding its presence in Australia with the opening of its tenth base in the country in January 2025.
The new location at Rivergate Marina will be Freedom’s second Brisbane location.
It will be owned and operated by franchise partner Brett Bolton, who has more than 26 years experience in the marine industry.
“We are excited to further expand our footprint in Brisbane with this new location,” said Brett. “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.
“Our members will benefit from not only access to top-tier boats, but also expert guidance and a community of passionate boating enthusiasts who share the same love for the water.”
Expanding access to the boating lifestyle is essential for the sustained growth of the marine industry.

The Rivergate location has been chosen to offer access to the city sites along the Brisbane River while still allowing cruising to the island destinations of Moreton Bay.
“Expanding access to the boating lifestyle is essential for the sustained growth of the marine industry,” said Will Sangster, president, business acceleration, Brunswick Corporation, which includes Freedom Boat Club.
“By partnering with one of our many successful franchise owners to launch another marquee Freedom Boat Club location, we are taking a positive step toward making boating more accessible to a broader audience and driving the future of the industry forward.”
David Kurczewski, general manager, Freedom Boat Club – APAC Region, added: “The addition of this location in the heart of Brisbane is a significant step in our growth strategy across Australia.
“Brett and his team have built an outstanding reputation for service excellence, and we are confident that this new site will provide immense value to the local boating community.”
