The value range associated with marine finance is between $5,000 – $1,000,000 and the loan terms will vary between 1 – 7 years. Depending on the type of loan, you may also elect for there to be a balloon payment at the end of the loan term.

What can I include in my Marine Finance?

It’s important to understand the cost of a marine vessel before you apply for financing. While the initial value of the asset is one part to consider,it is important that you also factor in additional costs which are often associated with the purchase of a boat or marine vessel, some of which include:

• Boat equipment such as electronics, accessories, and safety equipment
• Operating costs and ongoing maintenance. These costs will vary depending on the type of boat/vessel you purchase and how you use it
• Storage fees, these differ depending on the size of your boat and where you store it
• Marine insurance which can vary depending on the type of boat you have and where you store it

Further the transport you have may also qualify for finance so be sure to speak with your Amfin consultant regarding all of your boat expenses.
These additional costs cannot usually be factored into secured boat loans, although unsecured loans can sometimes allow the boat loan to cover these extra costs.‍
