About Freedom Boat Club of Nova Scotia
Freedom Boat Club Nova Scotia is pleased to be the first to bring the magic of 'Boating Made Simple' to eastern Canada in 2018. A family-owned business, we have always loved boating and now are privileged to offer an affordable way for an expanding membership to enjoy the freedoms and memory-making experiences of spending quality time on the water. Our members enjoy two locations offering diverse boating activities in an urban environment on Halifax Harbour, in the rural beauty of St. Margaret’s Bay and, of course, exploring our spectacular coastline.
Independently owned and operated by FBC of Nova Scotia

I really cannot say enough about Freedom Boat Club N.S. I have been a boat owner for years and the FBC lifestyle is such a great model for me. I was out over 20 times last year, and the whole team at both locations has been great. Big shout out to the dock staff that always had the boats spotless, even after catching over 100 Mackerel while fishing with friends. With the FBC lifestyle I get to enjoy the best part about boating… BOATING! I look forward to many years of hassle and worry-free boating and will never turn back!
We had been considering purchasing a boat since moving back to our home Province but were faced with many difficult choices; what type of boat to buy, where to store it out of season, where to moor it, how much maintenance would we face, what would be the cost of insurance, would we have time to deal with all the above? ..we joined!...Thank you, Freedom Boat Club, for making boating a pleasure again!

I have absolutely loved being a member of Freedom Boat Club N.S. this summer. It has definitely made my summer days that much more enjoyable for myself and my friends. The whole Freedom team have been great all summer, thank you all!
