“Brett and the wider team are all legends - very genuine people who simply love getting out on the water, and have a passion in helping more people do the same. I've recommended Freedom Boat Club to many friends and colleagues, and will continue to do so.”
“A big shout out to Liam who was so generous thorough and professional with his time explaining the freedom program it’s benefits and utilisation. What a terrific club with an amazing fleet of boats. It really is the best package for someone looking to not take on the owners solo boating responsibilities and financial burden. It’s the perfect set up for someone with experience or first start can’t speak more highly of Liam and the team.”
“Fantastic Experience with Freedom Boat Club Brisbane! Joining Freedom Boat Club Brisbane has been an absolute pleasure. The customer service has been outstanding, with Taylor providing excellent follow-up and making the whole process smooth and welcoming. Special thanks to Brett for the comprehensive training session. He delivered it in a calm, patient, and encouraging manner, which really helped build my confidence and understanding. It made all the difference! The online booking system is also a huge plus – it's incredibly simple and easy to use, making it quick and convenient to plan a day out on the water. Our first trip couldn’t have gone better – completely hassle-free and easy to organise. The whole experience has been seamless, and I’m already looking forward to many more adventures. Highly recommend to anyone considering joining!”
“We've been thrilled with our FBC membership. It really lives up to its promise of boating made simple - we rock up, the boat is cleaned, fuelled and ready to depart, we go and enjoy our day on the water, we come back, dock, and walk away - no boat ramps, no cleaning, no refuelling, no maintenance to organise. Brett and the team do a great job of making sure we only experience the enjoyable parts of boat ownership. In addition to all that, we get to choose from a selection of boats depending on what activities we have planned for the day, plus it just makes sense from a financial perspective. Highly recommend!”
“If you're seeking a hassle-free and enjoyable "hop on/hop off" boating experience in Brisbane, look no further than Freedom Boat Club at Manly. The club offers a diverse fleet, including luxury, fishing boats and pet-friendly options. Brett, Rosie and the team are always a pleasure to deal with - friendly, knowledgeable and ready to help with any questions we may have. The booking process is seamless and we find this is a great way to experience the boating lifestyle without full ownership responsibilities, like maintenance and cleaning. I highly recommend Freedom - they have given us a way to enjoy the waters around Brisbane in our own time, and we have always had fun and positive experiences.”
Dangar Island sits in the lower Hawkesbury River close to Brooklyn and is one of Sydney’s small, boat‑access communities. From the water it reads as a wooded, low island with sandy foreshore, a public jetty and private moorings; its position at the mouth of Cowan Creek and close to the main river channel makes it an attractive short‑cruise destination for trailer sailors, runabouts and small cruisers but also one that requires careful local knowledge and respect for resident berths, ferry operations and tidal currents.
Look for a friendly club with beginner-focused training, accessible facilities and boats, a supportive community, clear safety practices, and opportunities to progress at your own pace.

Late spring to summer is usually the best time for beginners to start learning to sail in Tasmania because the weather is generally warmer, days are longer and conditions are often more settled. Expect lighter to moderate winds with regular afternoon sea breees in summer, while spring and autumn bring more changeable and sometimes stronger conditions; winter is colder, wetter and typically windier with more fronts and swell.
