Frequently asked questions

• What is the average interest rate for a boat loan?

  Interest rates depend on both your lender and credit history, but they usually start somewhere between 4% and 6%. The lowest rates are typically reserved for those with high incomes and excellent credit.

• How long can I get a boat loan for?

  Since boats can be pricey, the average term for a boat loan is typically longer than that of your average personal loan, clocking in anywhere from seven to 15 years. Though some lenders might offer terms as long as 20 years.

• What credit score do I need for a boat loan?

  Because boat loan amounts can be rather high, lenders typically require good credit for you to qualify. It’s best to have a credit score of at least 700 if you want to get approved for the most competitive rates.
