An internationally renowned members-only boat club has announced the opening of its tenth Australian location, offering an exclusive and luxurious experience of the Brisbane River.

An international, one of a kind boat club is set to launch its second Brisbane location next month.

Freedom Boat Club’s newest residence, at Rivergate Marina in Murarrie is the tenth Australian location to give members the ability to view Brisbane’s most picturesque sites in an exclusive experience.

Hailing from Florida, America, Freedom Boat Club is the world’s largest membership-based boating club with no cap on the number of day trips members can book.

Franchise partner Brett Bolton, with 26 years in the marine industry, said he was eager for the opening.

“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,” Mr Bolton said.

The Rivergate Marina will officially open on January 10 2025.

“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.

“The premium Rivergate location has been strategically chosen to offer seamless access to the city sites along the Brisbane River while still being able to cruise the many island destinations of Moreton Bay.

“It presents an exceptional opportunity for both locals and visitors to experience the thrill of boating without the burden of boat ownership,” he said.

The beauty of the unique membership was to “make boating simple”, a spokesman said.

“Freedom offers its members unlimited access to some of the world’s top boating destinations—without the hassle of maintenance, storage, or upkeep.

“The club’s fleet includes a wide variety of high-quality boats, providing members with the freedom to enjoy their time on the water, stress-free,” he said.
