How do I book?

When you have decided upon the type of boat you would like to hire and the dates of your holiday, please telephone or email (please email your full postal address) to check availability.
Freedom Boats staff will then make a provisional booking for you and send out a booking form. Note that provisional bookings can only be held for 10 days (Day HIre) or 3 days (Week Hire) without a booking confirmation deposit.
Please complete the form and return it with the booking deposit to our offices.
Your booking will then be confirmed in our records and we will send you a Booking Confirmation and Pro-Forma invoice for the balance due.
Please Note: The balance needs to be paid 4 weeks before the start date of your holiday.

Not usually possible due to short turn around timescale, however if the boats are in and suitable for viewing all endeavours will be made to accommodate you.
