Direct-to-Lender Boat Loans

Diverse Offerings Finance has spent 20+ years building direct relationships with the banks and credit unions that specialize in marine lending. When you come to us, you're not filling out a form that gets sold to whoever bids highest — you're working with a specialist who knows exactly which lender fits your situation.

We handle new boats, used boats, private-party purchases, refinances, and everything in between. Loans from $15,000 to over $2 million, terms from 48 to 240 months.

Credit challenges? We work with borrowers across the credit spectrum and can often find options when banks have said no.

Marine Financing FAQ

What credit score do I need for a boat loan?
Most marine lenders prefer a 680+ credit score for the best rates, but we have programs for borrowers with scores as low as 600. We'll match you to the lender most likely to approve you at the best available rate.
How much down payment is required?
Down payment requirements vary by lender and loan size, but typically range from 10–20%. Some lenders offer 0% down programs for well-qualified buyers. We'll let you know what to expect before you apply.
How long does approval take?
Most approvals come back within a few hours on business days. We can often turn around same-day approvals for straightforward applications.
Can I finance a boat from a private seller?
Yes. Private-party boat loans are one of our specialties. We work with lenders who are comfortable with private transactions and can verify the vessel's value and condition.
What states do you serve?
We finance boats in all 50 states. Our lender network is nationwide and we can close loans remotely — you never have to visit a branch.
