Freedom Boat Club – Kirkland gives members access to boating on Lake Washington without the cost or hassle of ownership, based at Yarrow Bay Marina, a full-service marina that has operated since 1967 with facilities rebuilt in 2008. As part of the world’s largest members-only boat club, this location connects Kirkland-area boaters to a broader network spanning more than 450 locations worldwide.
Membership includes unlimited access to a diverse fleet of boats, from speedboats to comfortable pontoons, well suited to family outings, watersports, or a relaxed cruise on the lake. The club handles all the maintenance, cleaning, repair, insurance, and storage for the entire fleet, so members simply reserve a boat through the state-of-the-art online or app-based reservation system, show up, and go. Unlimited hands-on training is included for every member, making the club approachable for both experienced boaters and those completely new to being on the water.
Beyond the home club at Yarrow Bay, members get reciprocal access to other Freedom Boat Club locations throughout the Puget Sound region, including Edmonds, Lake Union, Elliott Bay Marina in Seattle, Everett, Olympia, Tacoma, Port Orchard, Bremerton, and Poulsbo, as well as clubs across North America, Canada, and Europe for boating while traveling.
The Yarrow Bay Marina location also functions as a full-service marina in its own right, offering moorage, fuel, boat repair, and parts and accessories, along with a Marina Store stocked with refreshments, boating supplies, and sundries for a day on the water. Membership options include year-round, weekday, and corporate plans, with pricing varying by market based on local marina and slip costs.
For Kirkland-area residents looking to boat regularly on Lake Washington without owning a boat, Freedom Boat Club offers unlimited fleet access, training, and reciprocal privileges across a nationwide network of locations.
