John Armstrong (CY Magazine) and Amit Kumaria (Freedom Boat Club Toronto) aboard the Sea Ray SPX210 approaching Cabana Waterfront Patio in Toronto Harbour. THE FREEDOM BOAT CLUB FLEET DURING SUMMER 2020 The fleet at Toronto Outer Harbor includes a pontoon boat (with a third tube for stability) a Jeanneau NC 695, three different Jeanneau Leader 6.5's and a boat from Sea Ray, such as the SPX 210 with a Mercury 150 which is a great boat for up to 11 people. Amit tells us the Sea Ray skis and fishes very well. Their Cypress Cay pontoon is also great. Very easy to drive, it delivers a good ride and great performance. Most boats are a comfortable and secure size for the local waters and all were new within the last two to three years. Toronto currently has nine boats, but they expect to add to the fleet in summer 2021. Amit said that 75% of their members have never boated previously. Typically, the new members are in the 40 to 50-year old age group with kids aged 15 or so. Retirees and young professionals are also members. The training they offer is key to 84 people's enjoyment. Freedom Boat Club is a part of the giant Brunswick Corporation who build Mercury engines and make many brands of boats. Brunswick offers Freedom Boat Club franchisees a boat buyback program and well-priced new boats as well as Brunswick resources to help with marketing. That is your assurance that the company will be run well and around for years to come. The Freedom Boat Club that Amit is running at Toronto Outer Harbour will soon announce a new location in Bronte Outer Harbour in the Oakville area, as well as one on Lake Simcoe for the 2021 season. Those locations will be furnished with brand new boats to open the season. SO, HOW DO THE MEMBERS LIKE IT?
