Don Young, President
President – BC Yacht Brokers Association
Director - BC Marine Trades Association

Hi I’m Don Young, founder of Freedom Marine.

Boating has always been an important part of my life. I fell in love with the water, fishing and boating at an early age visiting my Grandparent’s cottage. In 1985 I entered into the business of boating gaining my first job at a local marina on the Trent Severn Waterway and have worked in the industry every year since. My attraction to the ocean has taken me all over the world. I have chartered sailboats in Australia, fished around the world and scuba dived under many oceans. While completing my degree at the University of Toronto, I became a trained mechanic for Mercruiser, OMC and Volvo Penta.

In 1995 I visited Vancouver, BC for the first time and never left. Later in 1997, I founded Freedom Marine. We’ve since grown to become one of the Pacific Northwest’s premiere new yacht and brokerage dealerships.

In December 2008, I was assigned the position of President for the BC Yacht Brokers Association. I’m honoured to be given the roll.

I’m very proud of our staff, products and attention to detail. Let our knowledge, experience and genuine care go to work for you. I promise to give you the FREEDOM to enjoy boating.
