Just weeks to August Sydney Boat Show – time to secure your finance for show specials

Buyers attending the August Sydney Boat Show can secure their boat loans prior to the day and be ready to order with pre-approved finance through Jade Finance. Being prepared to place an order with finance already secured can provide the opportunity to capture any show specials, special edition boats, expedite delivery in time for the start of the new boating season, and avoid agreeing to dealer finance at the show which may be higher than we can secure for you.

With the first of two shows for Sydney starting soon and tickets already selling, now is the time to make your plans and apply for a no-obligation, pre-approved boat loan. Yes, the August show is just one of two shows that the Boating Industry Association (BIA) will be holding in Sydney this year. The August show at Sydney Olympic Park focuses on trailer boats, fishing, gear and similar, with the November show the traditional on-water display at Cockle Bay in Sydney’s Darling Harbour.

Ideal for boating enthusiasts to enjoy two events celebrating the boating lifestyle. The August show is ideally scheduled for those looking to purchase a new boat to launch at the start of spring/summer, and for existing boat owners looking to upgrade their watercraft with the latest tech, safety equipment, electronics and other gear.

Sydney Boat Show – Event Details

Sydney Olympic Park, inland from Sydney’s main harbour and waterways, despite being on the Parramatta River, may seem an odd venue for a marine show. But the location is central and convenient, and the facilities are ideal for displaying smaller watercraft and marine-related gear.

The show runs Thursday to Sunday, 14 17 August, from 9am-5pm daily. The show will be held at the Sydney Showgrounds in the Sydney Olympic Park precinct. The location is easily accessible by bus, train, ferry and car. Parking is available but should be booked in advance.

The organisers have arranged packages for show goers with accommodation providers. These deals are detailed on the event website. Also head to the website to secure your tickets online.

There will be plenty to see and experience at the show. Trailer and other watercraft will be displayed along with the latest tech in the marine industry and the show will include a special focus on Australia’s favourite leisure activity – fishing. Expert and show ambassador Andrew ‘ET’ Ettinghausen will be on-hand and the Fishing Supertank will be a feature attraction.

Sydney Boat Show Exhibitors

Earmarking the brands and boats you definitely want to see at an expo ahead of arrival, can be a smart move. These shows can cover large spaces and attract big crowds. Having a plan of action can make getting around to the exhibitors you want to visit and see the boats you want to buy a lot easier.

At this moment, the exhibitor directory and site plan has not yet been posted on the show website. We encourage visitors to check the site for when it is available and make your plan. What we do know is that power, paddle and sail craft will on display as well as plenty of gear.

Organisers have revealed some big names confirmed to exhibit – Sea-Doo, MW Naturcal, Garmin, Mercury, Malibu, Navico, Kawasaki, Watersports, and Honda, just a few of the hundreds of brands and manufacturers that will be displaying their products.

Pre-Approved Boat Loans for Sydney Boat Show Buyers

If you’ve never thought of applying for a loan before you even decided what boat to buy, be assured, the process is straightforward, the same as applying after purchase, and can offer many benefits. The same types of loans are available, and the same documents and financials are required for the application. The same interest rate offer applies for pre and post purchase loan applications. The one big difference between pre and post-purchase loans is setting the loan amount required.

Prior to deciding on a vessel, buyers usually do not know how much they will need. For the pre-approved loan application, simply provide an estimate. Lenders will be establishing your individual borrowing capacity when assessing the application. This may be helpful in setting a buying limit and determining which model you can afford.

If planning to order a new boat, the most suitable loan to apply for will be a Secured Boat Loan. The vessel is used as the finance collateral, attractive rates apply, and many applicants may be approved for no deposit financing. If you need the boat delivered to your location from another state or interstate, remember to include an allowance for transportation when estimating your loan requirements. Where the dealer is offering a boat and trailer package, both items may be included in the loan.

If you’re planning to order a range of new gear and accessories, consider an Unsecured Loan. Multiple items may be purchased with the one loan as the goods would not be considered as suitable for loan collateral, and individual pricing may be below the minimum loan threshold for many of our lenders. Apply now and you could have the funds available in your bank account to confidently order at the event.
