Marine Finance

More and more boats are sold on finance as people take the opportunity to buy a larger/newer boat without using up capital.

We recommend CGI Finance via the UK office as our preferred finance company. This is due to competitive rates & the comprehensive portfolio of products available.


Typical terms:

  • •Terms available between 48 & 180 months (4 - 15 years), depending on the age of boat and amount borrowed.
  • •The minimum loan amount is £30,001.
  • •The maximum amount you can borrow is 70% of the value of the vessel.
  • •All vessels must be no older than 35 years old by the end of the loan term.
