Good to know

What credit score is needed to qualify for a boat loan?

Most marine lenders require a minimum credit score of 660 to qualify for standard loan programs, with the lowest interest rates reserved for scores of 720 and above. Subprime lenders may accept scores down to 600, but typically require a 20% to 30% down payment and higher interest rates.

How long can you finance a new or used boat?

Standard loan terms for new boats range from 10 to 20 years (120 to 240 months), depending on the total loan amount. Used boats usually cap at 10 to 15 years, and loan amounts under $25,000 are typically limited to maximum terms of 5 to 7 years.

How much down payment is required for a boat loan?

A typical down payment ranges from 10% to 20% of the total vessel sale price, including options, sales tax, and registration. Lenders may request up to 30% down for older used boats, high-performance vessels, or applicants with limited credit history.
