Boat Financing Tips

  • The total cost of boat ownership goes far beyond the purchase price. Budget for ongoing expenses.
  • Boat loans typically have longer terms than car loans, often 10-20 years for larger boats.
  • Many lenders require a down payment of 10-20% for boat loans.
  • Insurance costs vary based on boat type, size, age, and where you'll use it.
  • Don't forget to include seasonal storage, maintenance, fuel, and docking fees in your budget.
  • Consider the "cost per use day" to determine if ownership or occasional rental better fits your needs.
