FREE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME ON THE WATER
As the popularity for boating and water-based activities continues to grow, the recent launch of Freedom Boat Club Torquay offers plenty of new opportunities in the south west.
Based on Beacon Quay, the Freedom clubhouse overlooks the beautiful bay and Torquay Marina, making it an ideal base to embark on all kinds of boating adventures, just a short hop away from some of the most picturesque spots in the south west.
The fleet at Torquay currently consists of three Zodiac RIBS, a 5.5m Gulf Stream Limited Edition and two larger 6.8m Medline as well as a Quicksilver 705 Pilot House, which is perfect for angling and relaxed cruising, providing protection from any weather thanks to its cabin.
