Sports Marine is encouraging more New Zealanders to spend time on the water through its partnership with Freedom Boat Club New Zealand, offering a flexible alternative to traditional boat ownership.
Designed to make boating more accessible, Freedom Boat Club gives members access to a fleet of vessels based in Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown, along with more than 450 club locations worldwide. The membership model is aimed at both new and experienced boaties, including existing boat owners looking to complement their time on the water.
One of the key advantages is the ability to choose from a variety of boats to suit different activities, whether it’s fishing, family cruising or watersports, without the commitment of owning multiple vessels. Members can also preserve the use of their own boat for longer trips or holidays while using club boats for spontaneous outings closer to home.
Convenience is another major attraction, with boats professionally fuelled, cleaned and prepared before each booking. Members simply reserve a vessel, arrive at the marina and head out on the water, eliminating much of the preparation and maintenance associated with boat ownership.
The club’s reciprocal membership also allows Kiwis to enjoy boating while travelling, with access to Freedom Boat Club locations around the world. In addition to the boats themselves, members become part of a wider boating community, with opportunities to attend club events, develop their boating skills and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
To celebrate the partnership, Sports Marine is offering an exclusive promotion for its customers. Those who join Freedom Boat Club New Zealand before 31 August will receive their first three months of membership free, including access to boating, training and member benefits.
The offer provides an opportunity for boat owners and newcomers alike to experience a different way of enjoying New Zealand’s waterways while benefiting from the flexibility and convenience of the club’s membership model.
