San Francisco Federal Credit Union Boat Loan FAQ

Many different types of boats qualify for financing, including fishing boats, pontoons, sailboats, catamarans, trawlers, deck boats, high-performance boats, and others.

Yes, many used boats qualify for marine financing. It depends on the age, condition, and current value of the boat you are considering.

There’s no need to save for a down payment. We offer up to 100% financing for boats to help you get in the water faster. A down payment will reduce the amount you have to borrow, however, and will help you save money on the total cost of your loan.

We offer boat financing terms of up to 15 years. We’ll work with you to get a loan term that fits your budget. 15 year boat loans help to make your monthly payments affordable.

A credit score of at least 650 is preferred for boat financing, but other scores will be considered. We take a “big picture” approach to loan approvals, and your credit score is one of several factors that will be considered. We will also consider your debt-to-income ratio (current debits), employment history, income, and other factors when making a loan decision.

The boat you are buying serves as the collateral for the loan. No additional collateral is needed.
