About Ottawa
Freedom Boat Club Ottawa was established May 1, 2019. We are conveniently located just South of Ottawa on the Rideau River at Hurst Marina in Manotick. The marina offers easy access to the Rideau River with lots of great fresh water fishing and various fun stops like beaches, swimming areas, and restaurants.
The Rideau is a heritage waterway with many historical landmarks. The Rideau caters to the recreational boater as it is fun for novice and expert boaters alike. The river runs through the heart of Manotick, Kars, and Burritt's Rapids.
Our local fleet consists of 10 boats. In our fleet we currently have some high-quality brands. These include Sea Ray, Bayliner, Cypress Cay, Campion and Berkshire. Our boats are equipped with depth sounders/fish finders, life jackets and easy to use charts.

We belong to the Ottawa Club, but this was us in Florida last week! We are LOVING Freedom Boat Club.
New member and I'm very impressed by the customer service at Freedom Boat Club Ottawa & Kingston. Jamie is always available if you have questions or concerns. He will go out of his way to make sure you are happy with your membership. Kingston and 1000 islands has been the highlight so far.
Jamie is fantastic to deal with. Zero pressure, professional and explains everything so that you can make a smart decision. Very fast at responding to communication as well.
