Freedom Boat Club opens three new locations in Barcelona, Costa Blanca and Mallorca
Boat club operator Freedom Boat Club is opening three new locations in Spain, marking an important milestone in the club’s expansion strategy across the Mediterranean.
Opening in April and May 2025, the new Freedom Boat Clubs in Spain are located in Port of Masnou in Catalonia, Marina PortBlanc in Calpe on the Costa Blanca, and Port of El Molinar in Mallorca.
“We are excited to expand Freedom Boat Club’s footprint in Spain with these three exceptional new locations,” says Arturo Gutierrez, general manager of Freedom Boat Club for the EMEA region. “This expansion underscores our commitment to providing our members with unique, sustainable boating experiences along some of Spain’s most picturesque and renowned coastal regions. Each location has been strategically selected to preserve the integrity of its local environment while offering access to a fleet of premium boats and world-class amenities. These new additions are part of our ongoing mission to expand recreational boating in Spain.”
El Molinar, Mallorca
The new Molinar boat club will feature four boats, including several Sea Ray models, with plans to expand the fleet to 20 boats across the island of Mallorca by the end of 2025. The Molinar location will also offer premium services, including an event room, a luxury restaurant, and breathtaking panoramic views of the city, all set against the stunning backdrop of Playa de San Antoni and Playa de Palma.
Masnou, Barcelona
Set just 10 minutes north of Barcelona, the Port of Masnou, is the latest addition to Freedom Boat Club’s growing presence in Catalonia.
According to the boat club operator, the fleet in Masnou will feature modern and versatile boats alongside restaurants, shops and leisure areas.
Marina PortBlanc, Calpe
The new Marina PortBlanc location in Calpe is set to open by early May 2025, following Freedom Boat Club opening new additions on the Costa Blanca in 2024.
There will be a premium fleet of boats, including the Quicksilver 605 Open and the Sea Ray SPX 230 Outboard at the Marina PortBlanc location. By the end of 2025, Freedom Boat Club plans to have ‘a robust fleet and network of locations across the Levante Coast, including Valencia, Denia, Alicante, Altea, and Calpe.’
Sustainability and economic growth
“We are proud to not only expand our club but also to contribute to the local economy, fostering tourism and supporting businesses along the coast,” added Gutierrez. “Our sustainable approach to boating creates long-term value for both our members and the communities we serve.”
With these three new openings, Freedom Boat Club, which is part of the Brunswick brand, now boasts 25 locations in Spain and 37 across Europe.
Freedom Boat Club has a strengthening expansion strategy underway globally – in January 2025, MIN reported that the boat club operator is expanding into New Zealand. Continuing its plans for expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, the strategic move will establish three key locations, leveraging the country’s position as the global leader in per capita boat ownership at 20 per cent.
