Freedom Boat Club Launches Third UK Franchise

Freedom Boat Club announced its newest Club on Loch Lomond, its third UK franchise providing direct access to Scotland’s largest lake famous for its scenery, mountains, and large expanses of open water. This announcement marks Freedom’s fifth location in the UK region in two years and 36th international location outside of North America.  

“After entering the UK market in 2021, we are thrilled to continue our growth into one of the world’s most stunning boating locations in the UK,” said Arturo Gutierrez, general manager, Freedom Boat Club EMEA. “Loch Lomond is centrally located within one hour of more than 50 percent of Scotland’s population, and we’re confident that our best-in-class boat club model will attract a diverse demographic with a passion for the on-water lifestyle.”  

The new location will be located at Ardlui Marina, and the franchise will be led by Mike Lally, who has owned and operated businesses in the region for the past 15 years. To support Freedom’s growing presence in the region, the brand exhibited at BoatLife, the UK’s largest boat show, for the second consecutive year.  

The new location is planned to open in early Summer 2023 to kickoff UK’s boating season. The location will initially open with new boats from Sea Ray to support the expansion, highlighting the synergies across Brunswick Corporation and its award-winning brands.
