Freedom Launches Three Boat Clubs in Australia

Freedom Boat Club, a Brunswick Corporation business, announced the planned opening of three new locations in Australia at Bobbin Head, Pittwater, and Lake Macquarie. These new locations will provide direct access to picturesque waterways north of Sydney. Together with the previously announced company-operated location on Sydney Harbour at d’Albora’s the Spit Marina, these three new locations will begin the process of quickly scaling Freedom’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region, replicating its successful model in North America and Europe.  

The new clubs will be franchise locations led by Darren Vaux, managing director of Empire Marinas Group, president of ICOMIA and previous president of the Boating Industry Association in Australia, and Nicky Vaux, the boat princess and director of the Marina Industries Association, who have more than 40 combined years of marine industry experience.   

The locations are planned to open in July 2023 with a wide selection of boats, including bowriders, ribs, center consoles and enclosed cabins, delivering members a variety of on-water experiences to suit their needs. Through Freedom’s best-in-class operating model, members will have access to professional training and the ability to explore all of Broken Bay, Pittwater and Lake Macquarie, as well as any of Freedom’s 380+ locations worldwide.
