Boat & marine finance on the Gold Coast
A tinnie for the Broadwater, a family cruiser, or the yacht you've been eyeing — I take your deal to a panel of 60+ lenders and find the one comfortable with the vessel. New, used, dealer or private sale. No jargon, no chasing me for updates.
What I can help you finance
Living on the Gold Coast, boats are practically a food group. Common ones I sort:
- Trailer boats and runabouts
- Half-cabins and centre consoles
- Cruisers and flybridges
- Yachts and sailing vessels
- Tinnies and fishing boats
- New, used and private-sale purchases

Submit
Happy to go ahead? I package the application properly and submit it to the right lender for approval.
Settle
I manage the paperwork through to settlement — the seller is paid and you're on the water.
Why use a broker?
- Lenders who understand marine. Boats aren't cars — I know the lenders comfortable with different vessels, ages and values.
- Private-sale ready. No dealer required — I handle the paperwork so settlement is clean.
- Soft-touch quotes. See where you stand before any hard credit enquiry is lodged.
- Local and straight-talking. Based on the Gold Coast, I explain the why behind every decision.

Common questions
What kinds of boats can you finance?
A broad range — trailer boats and runabouts, cruisers, half-cabins, yachts and larger vessels. Age, size and value affect which lenders will look at it, but there are lenders across the range. Tell me the boat and I'll match it up.
Can I finance a boat bought from a private seller?
Yes. Plenty of marine finance is for private-sale boats, not just dealer purchases. The finance settles directly so the seller is paid and the boat is yours.
Can I finance a used or older boat?
Often, yes. Older boats can affect which lenders will look at it and the term they'll offer, but there are lenders comfortable with used vessels. Matching your specific boat to the right lender is what I do.
Is boat finance for personal or business use?
Both. A boat for weekends on the Broadwater is financed differently to a vessel used in a business — for example charter or commercial use. The structure changes with how it's used, which is worth a quick chat.
Does getting a quote affect my credit score?
No. I use soft-touch checks up front so you can see where you stand before anything is lodged. A hard credit enquiry only happens once you decide to proceed with a specific lender.
