Understanding New Boat Loans

The price of new boats can make the purchase a significant buying decision. Even smaller craft such as PWCs, jet skis and tinnies with outboards, can have price tags which require financing for the purchase. Financing for new boats can provide a workable option, compared with using personal savings or business cash flow.

The market for new boat finance can be vast, for both personal recreational boats and for commercial credit for business vessels. The rates, terms, conditions and loan limits can vary across the lending market. As specialists in marine financing, we have access to 80+ lenders, providing us with the opportunity to source the lender that is a best match for each customer, and offer the best rates.

Know Your Loan - All Types of New Boat Finance Available

We offer a full range of marine credit products for private and business boat buyers. Our Secured Boat Loan suits most private buyers. Business financing options include Chattel Mortgage, Boat Leasing, Commercial Hire Purchase, and Rent-to-Own. Business operators can choose balloons, residuals, buybacks, and no deposit financing.

Secured Boat Loan Options Explained

All these options have a secured format, with most buyers not required to provide additional collateral. While the individual features and benefits of each product do vary, the basic format is similar – the vessel is the collateral for loan and the borrower repays the loan in equal monthly payments over a fixed loan term. Insurance is required.

Competitive New Boat Financing

New boat financing rates are competitive, with lenders having the boat as security. We arrange new boat financing with a fixed interest rate, over fixed negotiated terms, to provide a fixed repayment schedule for our customers.

Meeting New Boat Loans Eligibility Criteria & Application Process

To be approved for new boat finance, individuals and businesses must meet the criteria for their specific loan type. Individuals applying for personal loans must meet the Consumer Credit criteria as stipulated by ASIC. This includes being over 18 years of age and providing verifiable information on employment, income, residency, debts and expenses.

Business buyers must have an ABN and provide financials and other credentials relating to the business operation. The vessel must meet ATO guidelines for consideration as a business asset. That is, it must be for use in the business.

To be approved for a secured new boat loan, the vessel must be accepted as security for a secured loan. Details of the boat will be required for the application. Applications can be approved prior to final boat selection and purchase. An indication of the type, make and model of the boat being considered, and the loan amount required, will be required to obtain a specific pre-purchase quote or loan offer.

Credit profiles and histories are checked for all applications with the best rates and loan conditions approved for good credit score applicants. Lenders will be looking at the loan to value ratio and credit score for personal loan applicants when considering maximum loan limits.

While there are many considerations for new boat buyers, we make the new boat loan application process fast, streamlined and hassle-saving. Simply provide us with the necessary information and documentation and your Jade broker will handle finding the right lender, sourcing the best quote, and on acceptance of any offer, processing the application and assisting with settlement.
