Introduction

Marine loans resemble auto loans but often have longer terms (10-20 years) and higher rates. Lenders may require larger down payments and consider total debt-to-income including your mortgage.

Boat Financing

Marine loans resemble auto loans but often have longer terms (10-20 years) and higher rates. Lenders may require larger down payments and consider total debt-to-income including your mortgage.

Total Cost of Ownership

Budget for storage, insurance, maintenance, fuel, and registration—not just the monthly note. Boat values depreciate; loan balance can exceed market value early in the term.

New vs Used

Used boat loans may carry higher APR and shorter terms. Survey and insurance requirements add closing costs.

Formula

Monthly payment (amortizing loan): M = P * [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1], where P is principal, r is monthly rate (APR/12), and n is number of months.
