Dreams are free, our boat loans are cheap so 'tell them they're not dreaming' and get started on making boat ownership your reality. For most people, buying a boat will entail seeking finance. Taking out loans is not a task that everyone undertakes on a regular basis. You may organise a car loan every 4-5 years and a home mortgage every 5, 10 or even more years. But arranging a consumer loan to buy good such as a boat, could be something you’ve never done or not done for some time. Resources, sources and processes are continually being upgraded and updated in the lending space and as a specialist marine lender, Jade Boat Loans has the information to assist you in securing your boat loan.

To assist you to understand what is involved in sourcing a boat loan, we’ve developed this simple 5 step process.
Step 1: Select the Boat
Most people will select the boat they want or at least narrow down their choices to the type of vessel they want. Jade Boat Loans sources loans for all types of boats, both power and sail, of all lengths and sizes, within lender minimum loan thresholds. That includes leading brands of trailer boats and fishing boats, cabin and half-cabin cruisers, larger cruisers up to superyacht categories, jet skis and PWCs, houseboats, yachts, motor cruisers, water ski and wake boats and commercial vessels.
There are a number of online boat sales platforms which have vast listings for both new and used boats. Most leading boat manufacturers and importers have very informative websites so you can assess and compare what each make and model has to offer before even making an enquiry.
Attending boat shows and events is a great way to see multiple new models on display in the one location. While there are only a handful of large boat shows held each year, many of the caravan and outdoor shows held at many locations through the year, also include some trailer boat exhibitors.
If you’re after a hard-to-get boat or simply don’t have the time to devote to the process, boat/marine brokers are available to assist you. Their services include sourcing and locating boats from across the country to meet specific buyer requirements.

Jade Boat Loans is a specialist marine lenders and we’re accredited with multiple banks and non-bank lenders. We do the sourcing for you to ensure you quickly receive the cheapest loan on offer.
To assist you review and compare a range of lenders in the marine finance sector, we’ve prepared a Boat Interest Rate Comparison Chart on our website. This shows a number of lenders that are active in the space and the interest rate and type of loans they are currently offering for boat finance.
Not all banks for example will offer a specific ‘boat loan’. Some will offer a more general Personal Secured Loan which is designed to cover a range of consumer goods purchases including boats and caravans.
