Cruise in Comfort with Affordable Houseboat Loan Options
Houseboats are perfect for a long, leisurely holiday or a recharging, relaxing weekend getaway. While cruising on a houseboat is widely associated with hiring on a river or lake, the reality of owning your own presents many attractions to boaties over traditional craft. A more laid back cruising lifestyle, with a lot more space and without compromising on luxury. In addition, these crafts may present great value when purchased with our affordable lending options.
These types of watercraft are an ideal way to enjoy Australia’s extensive rivers, lakes, bays and coves and are available in many models. Specialist marine builders and manufacturers offer buyers a great selection when it comes to size, style, level of luxury and pricing. Jade Boat Loans offers buyers a great choice of lenders to ensure the finance will add that extra element of relaxation to every weekend getaway or holiday on your very own holiday-aboard craft.

Can you live on a vessel purchased with a houseboat loan? 
The loans offered by marine credit lenders are typically for vessels purchased for recreational purposes. Vessels purchased as a residence may require a different form of lending.
Are HouseBoat Loans available for custom-built models? 
Yes. Lending is available for all types and styles of the river and lake craft including new, used and custom-built designs.
Can extra items such as safety equipment be included in a HouseBoat Loan? 
Extras can be included in the total amount under certain conditions and subject to lender approval. As a general guide, the items must be purchased at the same time as the vessel and from the sale seller. Items purchased after a credit arrangement is settled usually cannot be added in.
Can the entire purchase price be included in the HouseBoat Financing 
No deposit credit is for including the entire purchase price in the funding. This is available and is subject to lender approval of the total amount requested and the application assessment.
What is the interest rate for HouseBoat Finance? 
Interest rates will vary across the lender market and for individual applicants. Rates advertised are for new vessels and applicants with a good credit profile. Applicants will be quoted a confirmed rate following an assessment of their application.
Are House Boat Loans the same as loans for other boats? 
The same credit products are offered for river and lake-style vessels as for cruisers, yachts, PWCs and other vessels. A Secured Credit Product is the most popular for new and many second-hand goods. Unsecured Personal Credit products are available where the secured option is not suitable.
Can I get a House Boat Loan approved before I make the buying decision? 
Yes. Credit applications can be submitted prior to the commitment to purchase. The total amount required can be estimated at that stage for approval purposes and finalised when the sale is settled. Pre-approved credit has a timeframe after which the offer expires and would need to be re-quoted if required at a later date.
What is the most popular loan for House Boat Finance? 
The Secured Marine Credit is the most widely-used product for the purchase of new watercraft of all types. With this product, the vessel is accepted as suitable security against the money loaned. The borrower repays the credit in equal monthly repayments over a fixed credit term.
Is House Boat Financing available when buying a share in the boat with others? 
When purchasing a vessel as a share in a form of partnership or consortium, a secured credit product may not be suitable. Buyers can consider an unsecured personal credit product for this purpose.
Need Extras and Accessories in Your House Boat Financing? Speak with us about what we can approve.
When purchasing these types of vessels, dealers may offer a wide range of extras and safety equipment such as life jackets will be required by law. Your Jade consultant can in many instances include many of these additional expenses in the same funding arrangement, when acquired in conjunction with the craft. Check with us first as to what can be included.
No Deposit House Boat Loan
No deposit options are available, subject to lender approval. This allows buyers to include the full purchase price of their vessel in the total amount borrowed. Easing budget pressures and leaving extra in the kitty for holiday activities.
