BEYOND PARK & LAUNCH

Stop Your Boat Becoming Another Weekend Job.

Boaters Freedom Club goes further. 
Your boat is cared for between outings, prepared for your booked launch and handled when you return.
You arrive to go boating. We take care of the rest.

That is boating freedom.

BOATERS FREEDOM CLUB

Included as Standard

Everything you need to arrive, enjoy your boat and leave the work behind.

Designed for motorboats, fishing boats, day boats and RIBs up to 24ft

Ready from Day One

Start with complete confidence. Our eight-stage check-in leaves your boat clean and dry, with its condition, inventory, trailer, battery and key systems recorded in your member portal.

Securely Stored

Boats and RIBs dry berthed as part of our  Managed Park and Launch service are safely stored in our secure marina based private access yard and receive documented care between visits.

Unlimited Launching

Get more use from your boat without the towing, reversing or slipway stress. Enjoy unlimited launch & recovery during published standard hours from 1 April to 31 October. 

Ready When You Arrive

Spend your time boating, not preparing to launch. Your cover is removed and your boat staged for your booked launch window.

Handled When You Return

Keep the day about boating, not cleaning. Head off with your family and friends while we rinse the hull, flush the engine, hand dry and return your boat securely to storage.

Battery Care

Start each outing with confidence while helping your battery last longer and reducing avoidable replacement costs. We isolate it, check its voltage and provide a mid-season health report.

Annual Care Wash

Return to a boat that looks cared for and reflects the pride you take in it. Your annual wash helps preserve its gelcoat finish and presentation before a full hand dry.

Winter Oversight

Enjoy winter without wondering what is happening under the cover. We check your boat monthly and after every storm, clear any pooled water, adjust the cover and upload photo reports to your member portal so you can see how it is doing.

Wetsuit Care & Essentials Storage

Rinse your wetsuits at our dedicated cleaning station and leave them hanging to dry, ready for your next outing. You will also have a personal storage box for the small essentials you prefer to keep ashore.

Build my estimate

No large upfront payment. Boaters Freedom Club is a 12-month membership, with the cost spread across 12 monthly Direct Debit payments.

Why Boaters Freedom Club?

Keep the Boat You Love at Its Best

Dry storage helps protect the hull from water, growth and wear. This helps your boat look good and hold its value.

Go Further on Every Tank

A clean hull moves with less drag. This can help your boat run better and use less fuel.

Keep the Good Times Going

Step ashore and leave with your family and friends. We rinse, flush, dry and put your boat away.

Save Time and Money Each Year

Your boat is not left in the water, so no need for antifoul paint. That means less cost, work, mess and a better sale value. 

Start Every Boat Day Relaxed

No towing. No reversing down the slipway. Your boat is already at the slipway, and we handle the launch and recovery.

Keep It Close. Keep It Dry.

Your boat stays at Victoria Dock, close to where you use it. After each trip, we bring it back to dry storage.

Turn Good Days Into Boat Days

We handle the prep, launch, recovery and aftercare. When the weather is right, it is easier to go.

Relax Even When You Are Away

Your boat is stored securely, checked through the seasons and kept under our care between visits.

Make It Yours.

Tell us about your boat and the way you use it. We will build a clear estimate for the complete managed service, tailored with the access and care you choose.

CLEAR SERVICE PROMISE

Confidence without a wall of small print

Clear promises. Visible proof. A meaningful remedy if we fall short.

Ready When Promised

Your boat will be staged and ready within ten minutes of its confirmed launch window. If a delay within our control keeps you waiting longer, you will receive a £100 account credit.

Always Informed

After every care check, wash or approved work event, we update your member portal within 48 hours. If we do not, you receive a £50 account credit.

Costs Agreed First

Any additional non-emergency work or third-party cost is agreed with you in writing before we proceed. If we go ahead without your approval, the cost is ours.

Frequently asked questions

What is Managed Dry Berthing?

Your boat is stored securely ashore at our Victoria Dock yard, away from the unnecessary wear of being left in the water. As standard, we prepare it for each booked launch, recover it when you return, rinse the hull, flush the engine, hand dry it and return it securely to storage.

Tailor the service with enhancements for greater access, dockside boarding and additional care. For owners who want every detail managed through one trusted point of contact, our Elite Concierge Boat Management service provides a fully managed ownership experience.

How does the Park & Launch work?

Choose an available launch window through the member portal, giving us at least one hour’s notice. We prepare and launch your boat for the booked window, then recover it when you return. Afterwards, we rinse the hull, flush the engine, hand dry the boat and return it securely to storage.

When is Park & Launch available?

From 1 April to 31 October, launching and recovery run seven days a week, 9am to 5pm. The Victoria Dock gate is open 3 hours before and 3 hours after high tide. 

For earlier starts, later returns and unlimited launching during the first week of November, add Horizon Pass.

Outside the season, launching and recovery can be arranged by appointment for an additional fee. 

Can I launch outside the standard hours?

Yes. Horizon Pass includes unlimited launching and recovery during our published early-morning and later-evening windows throughout the summer season. It also extends your unlimited launching and recovery into the first week of November.

All bookings remain subject to tide, gate times, weather, safety and operational capacity.

What is a Horizon Pass?

Horizon Pass lets you launch and return whenever the Victoria Dock gate is open, from as early as 7:30am to as late as 9:30pm in summer, with unlimited launching into the first week of November. Slots before 8am or after 8pm are booked at least 24 hours ahead. All times depend on the gate, the tide and the weather.

Can my boat be waiting for me on the water?

Yes. With Dockside Boarding, we launch your boat and secure it to the visitor pontoon ready for your arrival. Simply step aboard and begin your day.

The first 30 minutes on the visitor pontoon are currently free. After this, Caernarfon Harbour Trust fees may apply. If you are delayed, let us know as early as possible so we can postpone the launch. Any visitor pontoon fees remain the member’s responsibility.

Dockside Boarding is available in prepaid packs and is subject to advance booking, suitable conditions and pontoon availability.

Can I stay afloat in the marina overnight?

Yes, subject to visitor berth availability. Overnight berths are booked and paid for directly with Caernarfon Harbour Trust.

If you reserve a berth for the weekend, our Dockside Boarding upgrade allows us to launch your boat into the berth ready for your arrival and recover it on Monday morning. It is available in convenient prepaid packs for members who want to make weekends aboard effortless.

What facilities are available?

Rinse your wetsuit at our dedicated station and keep your essentials in your personal storage box. There's also a toilet with space to change. We keep a few essentials on hand, like oil and bungs, in case you forget something. Fuel is available at Victoria Dock, or add a Fuel Service Pack and we'll fill up for you before you launch. Cafés and restaurants are a short walk away on the waterfront.

Will you fuel my boat?

Yes. Add a prepaid Fuel Service Pack and we will refuel your boat before its booked launch, leaving you free to arrive and get straight on the water.

Diesel is supplied from Victoria Dock Marina and petrol from Morrison’s. Fuel is charged separately at the supplier’s price on the day. E10 petrol is used as standard unless you request an alternative in advance. Aspen alkylate fuel is also available on request.

Can I access my boat whenever I wish?

You can visit your boat any time during our opening hours. Our hours change between summer and winter, so check them before you come. To take your boat out on the water, book a launch online through our members’ booking page.

Where can I park?

When your boat is out, you can usually park in its space at the yard. If we’re ever full, park in a nearby council long-stay car park and we’ll refund your ticket, up to £8 for the day.

Will you service my engine?

You may appoint your own suitably qualified contractor or ask us to introduce you to one of our trusted independent specialists. Access to the yard must be arranged with us in advance, and the contractor will agree the work, costs and payment directly with you.

If you would prefer us to manage the work, approvals and progress updates on your behalf, contact us to apply for Elite Concierge Boat Management.
