With many exciting models and multihull brands set to display at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in May, yacht buyers may like to consider their model and financing options to be ready to order. Amongst the names displaying at the Show will be Seawind, Lagoon, Leopard and Sailcat, and many more. Offering buyers numerous options to consider. But with any major purchase where financing is required. The final decision may come down to the finance. We provide multihull buyers with an overview of their financing options and a glimpse of the latest models.
Loans for Catamarans – Secured and Unsecured
As a yacht, a cruising catamaran can be financed with the same loan as used for other types of boats. The options for buyers are essentially a secured or an unsecured loan. Most buyers of new boats will opt for a secured format loan. This allows the buyer to use the vessel as the main collateral for the finance. Many buyers can be approved for a loan with a new vessel as the sole source of security. Eliminating the need to tie up other assets as loan collateral.
Our Secured Boat Loan can be used to finance all types of new multihulls. The loan includes a fixed rate of interest and a fixed repayment term. Providing buyers with a fixed repayment schedule. The fixed rate and repayments will not change over the term, even if the RBA does announce rate changes. Providing those embarking on a long cruising experience the assurance and peace of mind that their loan won’t change while they are at sea.
Whether the entire purchase price of the multihull may be covered by the loan will be dependent on the individual lender assessment of the application. When arranging yacht finance for our customers, we work to include as many ‘extras’ in the loan to meet customer preferences. Where extra sails, rigging, safety gear and other options are ordered from the same dealer at the same time as the yacht, these extras can usually be included in the loan.
Insurance is required on boats that are under finance. Using a specialist marine insurer is strongly advisable to ensure all aspects and scenarios are covered.
Some buyers may prefer not to offer the new multihull as loan security. This may be because they are buying a boat in partnership with other parties or where they only require a small loan for the purchase. These buyers may consider an Unsecured Personal Loan.
An unsecured loan is a very versatile option which can suit many buyers with essentially no collateral required. The interest rate may be fixed or variable and will be higher than for a secured loan due to the lack of loan collateral.
Whether a secured or an unsecured loan is your preference, we will be working to secure you the best rates and most workable loan to suit your requirements.
