Boat Fleet Financing

Running a charter business means more than just owning a boat—you’re providing a premium experience on the water. At Float Finance, we make it easy to finance the right vessel for the job, with charter boat loans structured for both startup operators and seasoned professionals.

Our financing covers a wide range of vessels, including fishing boats, sightseeing tour boats, sailing charters, party boats, catamarans, and more. Whether you’re buying new or used, from a dealer or private seller, we offer commercial financing with flexible terms, seasonal payment options, and milestone-based disbursements for upgrades or retrofits. With Float Finance, you get a lending partner who understands what it takes to run a successful charter operation.
