Marine Finance – Hankzarihs
When you’re looking to finance the purchase of a sailing yacht, motorboat, charter boat or another type of vessel, specialist marine finance is available from a limited number of marine finance companies. Read on to find out more about this category of funding, which spans various different types of loan structure, and which offers a certain degree of flexibility according to the asset in question and the applicant’s own situation.
What is marine finance?
As its name suggests, marine finance exists to fund the purchase of a wide range of commercial, leisure and recreational and pleasure vessels for coastal, inland and ocean use. The specialist nature of this type of finance means that marine funding tends not to be available on the high street. However, focused lenders offer bespoke marine funding solutions to clients, usually via a broker such as Hank Zarihs Associates.
Funding for smaller boats may be sufficient in the form of a simple loan, repayable each month. Loans for larger marine vessels is usually structured in the form of a marine mortgage which is amortised over the life of the vessel itself. The mortgage for that vessel is then registered with the appropriate marine authority (such as the UK Ship Register.)
Hank Zarihs can assist with this process to help safeguard your ownership interests and to maximise your protection against any fraud. We can also support with title paperwork checks and MCA registration requirements, ensuring that no existing mortgages are secured against the vessel (for example, from a previous owner) before our clients seek to obtain new finance.
When companies and LLPs apply for marine finance, we also register the mortgage on their behalf, but with Companies House. Details on these processes and any applicable fees are provided when you apply for your marine loan and we provide ourselves on a completely transparent, helpful and expert service.

Marine finance is designed to meet the cost of these purchases, with loans that begin from around £50,000 and which go up to £20 million or more, depending on the vessel being purchased.
We can provide funding for other boats and marine assets too, including:
- Barge finance, Narrowboard finance and Widebeam finance
- Hire boats and day charters (e.g. for fishing/angling)
- Powerboat finance
- Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) finance

Typical marine funding rates
Marine mortgage rates vary widely according to the lender, the applicant’s situation and the marine asset in question. Applicants can choose from variable or fixed interest rates, balanced payment plans and the option for balloon payments where required at the end of the term (for example, to lower monthly repayments.) Boat loans can also be secured with other vessels or assets in a chattel mortgage arrangement. We can also offer refinancing deals for existing marine assets. Contact us to find out the latest rates that lenders are offering for marine assets.
