Free Assessment

To get started, simply submit our quick and easy Boat Loans quote request form. Submitting an enquiry through our service is free and without obligation. We do not conduct credit checks as part of this initial eligibility assessment, but if you proceed with a broker or lender they may perform their own checks and fees and charges may apply to any loan you choose.

Competitive Rates

At Boat Loans Australia we help you compare boat financing options by connecting you with a participating boat finance broker from our national referral panel who can discuss loan options with you. We do not provide personal advice or recommendations.

No Credit Check

Many online boat finance and loan providers automatically run a credit check on all their applicants. These credit checks are generally recorded on your credit file as a ‘new loan enquiry’ and, even just a few such enquiries over the course of a couple of months, can adversely affect your credit options. At Boat Loans Australia we do not conduct credit checks as part of our initial enquiry and eligibility assessment; if you proceed with a broker or lender we refer you to, they may carry out their own credit checks as part of a formal application.

Multiple Lenders

To gain access to comparative Boat Loan rates, options and advice from one of our Boat Loans brokers or lenders, all you need do is complete our simple Boat Loans Australia Boat Loan quote request form.

Boat Sales

Boat sales websites and boat sales yards may be the best place to buy a boat, but specialist boat loan brokers can help you explore suitable boat loan options. When you submit our online boat loan eligibility assessment, we can put you in direct contact with specialist brokers from our national panel who can explain and compare finance options for your circumstances.

New & Used

Boat Loans Australia can help you with finance for used boats as well as new boats. If you are actively looking at boats for sale, why not check out your borrowing capacity first? Simply submit our boat sales loan eligibility assessment to get an indication of how much you may be able to borrow, based on our initial eligibility assessment, without us conducting a credit check.
