Which is the best boat loan for you?

Is your boat going to be all work? or all play? Or a bit of both? We have a variety of flexible options and products to suit your boat finance requirements.

Boat Loan - Secured

This is a secured loan available for a new or used boat. The loan is secured by financial interest over the marine vessel and is usually a lower interest rate than an unsecured loan.

Chattel Mortgage

This is the most popular boat loan for business.  If the boat is used predominantly for business use a Chattel Mortgage will preserve cash flow and provide tax savings.

Personal Loan

A personal loan is unsecured, meaning the money borrowed can be used for any purpose. You may want to consolidate all your credit card debt, or need money for a holiday, renovations, or even cosmetic surgery. The loan is yours and the money can be used for leisure. A personal loan can even be used for a car, boat or bike, however being unsecured the interest rates are not as low as a secured loan.

Boat Lease / Novated Leasing

A Boat Lease or salary sacrificing Novated Lease can help you and your employer save on tax and gain all the benefits of a company boat. Our staff are finance experts and can put together a lease package to suit your requirements.
