Common questions

Some lenders will consider finance for boats moored in UK or European ports if you are a Channel Islands resident. We will check eligibility when you enquire.

Marine finance can be arranged as an unsecured personal loan or as a secured loan against the vessel itself. Secured loans typically offer lower rates for larger purchases.

Most lenders require comprehensive marine insurance as a condition of the loan. We will confirm the specific requirements when we match you with a lender.

Yes. Motorhomes and campervans are eligible for leisure vehicle finance. The same process applies — tell us the vehicle and purchase price and we will search the market.

For larger marine purchases, secured finance can reach £200,000 or more. The maximum depends on the vessel value and your financial profile.
