FreeSpirit

⚡🔌 "The wiring in the vessel — all hidden now."

Ross Honey talks in this short clip about a part of Free Spirit that virtually no one will ever see but that everything else depends on: the electrical and data wiring.

Behind every panel is hours of expert work . Every navigation instrument every safety system , every piece of onboard tech is only working because a skilled team spent hours running cable, planning routes, and getting it all fitted invisibly and professionally.

The best infrastructure is the kind you never notice. And this is some of the best.

Enormous thanks to everyone who put the hours in quietly, professionally, and completely out of sight.

✅⚓ "The rails keep people upright and on board the vessel."

Ross Honey 🎥 talks in this clip about a piece of safety equipment 🛠️ that rarely gets much attention — but makes an enormous difference to every trip we run: the rails on Free Spirit. 🚤

When we're taking out passengers who've often never been on a boat before 🌊 — adults with chronic illness 💙, young people facing mental health challenges 🧠, families new to the water 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 — having something to hold 🤲, to lean on, to steady yourself with, is the difference between confidence ✨ and fear. 😰

Not the most photogenic safety feature. 📸 Absolutely one of the most important. ✅⚓

❤️🙏 Thanks to the team who fitted every last one. 🛠️

🛥️✏️ "The design of the boat by Cheetah has been very important." ⚓

Ross Honey 🎥 talks in this short clip about one of the most crucial contributions to Free Spirit 🚤 — the design work of the team at Cheetah. 🏆

Designing a boat for community outreach 💙 — a vessel that can safely and comfortably take out adults living with chronic illness 💙, young people facing mental health challenges 🧠, and families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 who've never been on the water 🌊 — is a very particular brief. Stability ⚓, accessibility ♿, safety ✅, sea-keeping 🌊 — all of it has to work together, and none of it can be an afterthought.

Cheetah understood the assignment. 🎯 And Free Spirit exists because they did. ✨

🙏❤️ Huge gratitude to the entire Cheetah design team 🏆 for their input, their expertise, and their belief in this project.

🛟⚓ The safety kit you hope you never need — and can't operate without. ✅

Ross Honey 🎥 talks in this short clip about the life rafts 🛟 aboard Free Spirit 🚤, donated 🎁 as part of the essential safety kit, and built to deploy in seconds ⚡ if the worst ever happens.

For a community boat 🚤 taking people to sea 🌊 who've often never been on a vessel before — adults living with chronic illness 💙, young people facing mental health challenges 🧠, families who never had access 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 — this kit isn't a detail. It's what makes the entire mission possible. ⚓

❤️🙏 Enormous thanks to the donors 🎁 who understood exactly why this mattered.

This is what generosity looks like in practice. ✨🌊

🦺⚓❤️

🦺 "Safety is important for all aboard." ⚓
Ross Honey 🎥 talks in this short clip about one of the most important pieces of kit aboard Free Spirit 🚤 — the life jackets 🦺, generously donated 🎁 to keep every single passenger safe on the water. 🌊

When you're taking someone out to sea 🌊 who's never been on a boat before 🚤 — perhaps someone living with a chronic illness 💙, a young person facing mental health challenges 🧠, or a family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 who simply never had the opportunity — the first thing they need to feel is safe. ✅

That trust starts with a life jacket 🦺 that fits, works, and was given generously 🎁 so we could pass the experience on for free. 💙

❤️🙏 Enormous thanks to everyone who made this happen. ✨

Who's the person in your life who'd benefit from a day on the water? 💭🌊

⚓ TODAY HAS BEEN A BIG DAY FOR FREESPIRIT ⚓

Watch this short VIDEO — Chris, Head of Sales at Navico Group, came aboard Free Spirit at sea to tell you why. 🎥👇

FreeSpirit is now the first boat in the UK to incorporate every necessary brand under the Navico Group umbrella on a single vessel: 🙌

🚤 Simrad navigation
🎣 Lowrance
🗺️ C-MAP cartography
And the engines? Mercury. ⚙️

Which all means that Free Spirit is now a complete Brunswick Corporation vessel from bow to stern. 💙 Navigation, electronics, propulsion — all under one parent company, all designed to work together, all on one boat. That has never been done before, EVER, on a UK vessel. ✅

But here's the thing — this isn't sitting in dock to be photographed. From TODAY, Free Spirit goes to work. 🌊
