How boat financing works
A boat loan comes down to four numbers: the amount you borrow, your rate, your term, and your down payment. The big difference from a car is the term. Boat loans commonly run 10 to 20 years, which is what makes a comfortable monthly payment possible.
- Longer terms lower the monthly payment on larger boats
- A down payment of 10 to 20 percent opens up the best terms
- Your credit profile is the biggest factor in the rate you are offered
- Trade-in equity from a boat or vehicle goes toward the new one
New or pre-owned: both get you on the water
A new boat gives you the latest hull, electronics and a full warranty. A pre-owned boat gets you out there for less. Participating dealers carry both and can explain the difference on any model.
- New boats come with full manufacturer warranties
- Pre-owned boats stretch your budget further
- Both can be financed with long, comfortable terms
- Your dealer can inspect and explain either one

Enter your ZIP code and tell us what kind of boat you want. A specialist connects you with participating boat dealers near you and their lending partners.
Many boat loans run 10 to 20 years depending on the price, the age of the boat and your credit profile. A longer term keeps the monthly payment lower.
Exploring your options has no effect on your credit score. A hard credit inquiry only happens later, once you choose to submit a full application, and you will be told before that point.
You are still welcome here. Our partners include lenders who work with people who are rebuilding credit or buying their first boat.
No. We are not a lender and we do not make credit decisions. We connect you with participating dealers and their lending partners, who handle the application, approval, and terms.
