Who we help

Finance for life on the water.

A tinny for the creek or a cruiser for the Broadwater. We match the loan to the boat and the way you’ll use it.

Trailer boats

Bowriders, centre consoles, fishing boats and tinnies, with the motor and trailer financed together.

Jet skis

New or used personal watercraft, on their own or as a pair with a double trailer, secured or unsecured.

Cruisers and yachts

Larger cruisers, yachts and moored boats, matched to lenders comfortable with bigger marine purchases.

Marine businesses

Charter, tour and commercial fishing operators financing vessels through the business, often with a chattel mortgage.

What you’ll usually need

  • Two forms of ID, like your driver licence and Medicare card
  • Your last two payslips or 90 days of bank statements
  • A rates notice or rental agreement
  • The dealer invoice or the boat’s details, including the hull identification number (HIN)

Boat finance, answered.

Still have a question?
Call 1300 082 012, open 7 days.

Will getting a quote affect my credit score?
+

No. Requesting a quote doesn’t affect your credit score. We may run a soft check, which doesn’t impact your score. A full credit enquiry is only made when you apply.

Can I finance a jet ski?
+

Yes. New or used jet skis, on their own or as a pair with a trailer, on a secured or unsecured loan.

Can the motor and trailer be included?
+

Yes. Most lenders finance the boat, motor and trailer as one package. Electronics and accessories bought at the same time can often be included too.

Can I buy from a private seller?
+

Yes. New or used, from a dealer or a private seller. For private sales, the lender checks the hull identification number and that nothing is owing on the boat before paying the seller.

Do I need a boat licence to get finance?
+

Lenders don’t usually ask for one to approve the loan, but you’ll need the right licence for your state to drive the boat.

Do I need insurance?
+

For a secured boat loan, most lenders ask for comprehensive marine insurance before settlement. We’ll tell you what your lender needs.

Can my business finance a vessel?
+

Yes. Charter, tour and fishing operators can finance vessels through the business, often with a chattel mortgage. Ask your accountant about the tax side.

Do you only work on the Gold Coast?
+

No. We’re based in Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast and help clients Australia wide, by phone, online or in person. Most of our clients are in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.
