What Is the Monthly Payment on a Boat Loan?

There is no single average boat payment that usefully describes a particular yacht purchase. Start with the amount you would borrow: subtract your down payment from the purchase price, then identify any fees you intend to finance.

A boat loan payment worked example

For illustration only, borrowing €60,000 at a fixed nominal annual rate of 6% for 10 years, with equal monthly payments and no fees, gives a payment of about €666 a month. That is roughly €79,935 in total repayments. This is an arithmetic example, not a current lending offer.

How to compare two offers

Ask both lenders to quote the same financed amount and repayment period. Compare the annual percentage rate, total amount repayable, any final balloon payment, early repayment terms and required insurance. A smaller monthly payment can come from a longer term.

Budget separately for ownership

Get quotes for a berth, insurance, haul-out and the first year’s maintenance on the particular vessel. A survey may identify work due before your first season. For asking-price comparisons see boats offered up to €100,000.
