About Petrie Island
Our Petrie Island location will be opening in May, 2021. We are conveniently located in Ottawa’s East end on the Ottawa River at Oziles’ Marina. The marina offers easy access to the Ottawa River with lots of great fresh water fishing and various fun stops like beaches, swimming areas, sightseeing and restaurants. Enjoy water sports like skiing and tubing!
The lower Ottawa River runs East from downtown Ottawa towards Montebello. Enjoy magnificent views of Parliament Hill and visits to attractions like Casino du Lac-Leamy and Le Château Montebello.
In our fleet we currently have some high-quality brands including Bayliner, Cypress Cay and Campion. Our boats are equipped with depth sounders/fish finders, life jackets and easy to use charts.

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.
