Freedom Boat Club

June 28, 2018

With three franchises already in Canada, Toronto GTA boaters now have access to the advantages of Freedom Boat Club. The club is located in the Outer Harbour Marina on Unwin Ave. 

The kickoff of the Club begins with a launch party on July 7. Three boats will be put into the facility to begin and Toronto franchisees Steve McPherson and Caitrin McPherson anticipate the fleet growing to 20.

The pair also runs Navy Pointand SailTime Ontario,a fractional membership sailboat club. Freedom is a power only operation initially using boats from Jeanneau, Hurricane and Campion.

All the details are included: docking, maintenance and insurance. All training is included, beginning with a two-day orientation for new members, who can join with no previous experience. Refresh instruction is available whenever members wish.

Steve feels that “this is the future of boating. Our club gives Toronto boaters access to a boat and the waterfront when they need it without the high costs of mooring, winter storage and maintenance.” The club website is located online at http://freedomboatclub.com/locations/243-FREEDOM-BOAT-CLUB-TORONTO-bc/ , email Steve at smcpherson@freedomboatclub.com or call (905) 271-2222.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
