Location: Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Welcome to the Freedom Boat Club of Portsmouth, NH!
Portsmouth, N.H. sits near the mouth of the Piscataqua River, a short, wide river that divides New Hampshire and Maine. Settled in 1623, Portsmouth claims to be the nation's third-oldest city. It served as a focal point on the Eastern seaboard until the late 1800s when rail travel did in the shipping industry.
The elegant seaport of Portsmouth is one of the most culturally rich destinations in the country with a stimulating mix of historic buildings, sidewalk cafes, great restaurants, art galleries, jazz clubs and distincitive artisans' boutiques. It was named as one of the Dozen Distinctive Destinations by National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Members enjoy the opportunity to boat out of our Portsmouth and Newburyport clubs allowing them to explore many of the historic sites, islands, or beaches at each location. With a launching point on Sagamore Creek in Portsmouth and Hilton's Marina on the Newburyport waterfront, FBC is conveniently located for any escape.
Be sure to watch the "See how it works" video at the top of this page for additional details.
