Financing FAQs
What are the typical approval timelines?
Typically, approval for qualified maritime acquisitions is secured within 48 to 72 hours. Our direct relationship with boutique marine lenders ensures a low-pressure, streamlined verification process tailored to high-net-worth portfolios.
What is the standard down payment requirement?
Most lenders require a down payment between 15% and 20% of the purchase price. However, structures can be adjusted based on the vessel’s survey results and the complexity of the asset’s underlying value.
Can I secure financing for pre-owned vessels?
Absolutely. We specialize in financing both new builds and brokerage inventory. The terms typically focus on the vessel's survey age and intended global use, ensuring you have the right coverage for international waters.
What is the timing for funding?
Once approval is granted and the vessel survey is accepted, funding typically occurs concurrently with the closing document execution. Our expert team coordinates directly with the title company to ensure a seamless transition of ownership.
