Swanwick

Opened in May 2024, Freedom Boat Club’s Swanwick location is nestled on the River Hamble, placing members right at the gateway to some of the best boating in the UK.

From Swanwick, you can cruise past a variety of popular waterfront restaurants and pubs en route to Southampton Water. Just beyond lies the open Solent, offering easy access to iconic boating destinations including the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, Beaulieu, and the stunning South Coast.

Swanwick forms part of our growing Thames–Solent Hub, giving members unlimited boating across three unique locations: Hythe, Swanwick, and Chertsey. With one membership, you can enjoy the perfect mix of river cruising and coastal adventures, all under the same club.

The Swanwick fleet includes:

IRON 767 – a sleek, Scandinavian-designed performance boat perfect for dynamic cruising
Beneteau Antares 7 – a compact cruiser offering excellent protection from the elements, ideal for variable UK weather
Bayliner VR6 – a spacious and versatile bowrider, great for family outings and social cruising

What our members say

Stephen

FBC UK

A fantastic way to boat - just reserve your slot online, rock up and boat. And when you are done, you get welcomed back by a friendly Dock Master who takes care of cleaning and refuelling, leaving you free to have a refreshing cup of tea in the club house. A super friendly crew who can build your skills and knowledge at a speed that suits you...

What could be simpler? I choose the day I want to go boating, book a boat of my choice on the easy to use system, arrive to be greeted by the friendly staff and off I go. I've used my membership so much, to entertain friends, enjoy the sunshine, I've even had a work meeting on board. Best decision I made was joining FBC!

Wow... Just the best boat buy you can do! Lovely folk managing your days of fun... and the coffee in the club house is pretty good too!

Andy

What can I say - I just cannot recommend Freedom Boat club UK enough! What a great team, super friendly, always very welcoming and literally cannot do enough for you. Great selection of brand new powerboats that are maintained to the highest standard... so easy to reserve online when you want and if you need to change, no problem...

We had a lovely time visiting the Torquay club on a weekend away from Portsmouth. Ollie was knowledgeable and friendly with giving recommendations for the area, both in and out of the water! He gave us a call and pointed us towards and area with dolphins, which we all loved. Great location and crew, highly recommend!
