Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I borrow with boat finance?
Boat loan amounts can be as low as $3,000 and as high as $1,000,000 — how much you can borrow depends on your income, financial situation, loan history and debt-to-income ratio (DTI).
At Finance King, our brokers work on your behalf to find a boat loan that matches your desired borrowing amount with a good interest rate and loan terms to suit your personal finances.
How do I qualify for a boat loan?
The minimum requirements for applying for a boat loan in Hervey Bay are:
- At least 18 years old
- Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
- Have a consistent source of income from employment (with receipts)
In addition to these requirements, we also consider your borrowing history and debt-to-income ratio to determine your eligibility for a boat loan.
Can I use a boat loan to purchase from a private seller?
Yes, you can apply for boat finance to purchase a boat or jetski from a private seller. Just remember that lenders view used boats or marine vehicles as higher risk, so you may get higher interest rates. You will also need to provide more details about the condition and model of the vessel as part of the application process.
How long will it take to get approved for boat finance?
Most boat loan applications are approved within 48 hours. At Finance King, our streamlined process can get pre-approval from lenders within 24 hours, depending on your financial situation.
How long is a typical boat loan term?
Boat loan terms can be as short as 5 years or as long as 20 years. The loan term will depend on the type of loan (unsecured or secured), the borrowed amount and the interest rate. Our Hervey Bay boat finance brokers will work with you to find a boat loan term that suits your repayments and minimises costs.
