President of Freedom Marine, Don Young, remarks, “Freedom Marine is very excited about teaming with Galeon Yachts. Their innovative designs are the perfect complement to our existing brands, and we look forward to exploring beautiful British Columbia alongside new Galeon owners.”

Freedom Marine is number one in boat sales in Canada between 35-feet and 180-feet and has been servicing Western Canada since 1997.
