How Boat Financing Works

Boat loans work similarly to auto and RV loans, with monthly payments calculated based on the loan amount, interest rate, and term length. The total amount financed includes the boat price plus sales tax and fees, minus your down payment and any trade-in value.

Smart Financing Tips

  • •Larger down payments reduce monthly costs and interest
  • •Marine lenders may offer better rates than dealers
  • •Consider total cost including insurance, storage, maintenance
  • •Pre-approval helps negotiate better prices

Important Considerations

  • •Insurance costs vary by boat type and usage
  • •Winterization and storage costs (if applicable)
  • •Boat values depreciate quickly in first few years
  • •Seasonal payment options can help manage cash flow
