Houseboat Financing & Lending

Whether your houseboat is brand new or has decades of stories under its hull, Float Finance gets you financed. Coast Guard documented vessels of any age qualify—with terms and rates structured around the boat you actually own, not the one a bank wishes you owned.

Finance the Houseboat You Want — Any Age, Any Adventure

Houseboat Loans

Not every dream boat is a runabout. Some of the best moments on the water happen aboard a houseboat—weekends with family, summers on the lake, full-time liveaboard adventures. At Float Finance, we make it easy to finance the houseboat you actually want, with rates and terms structured around the vessel itself, no matter how old it is.

Many banks and traditional lenders won’t touch a houseboat—especially anything more than a few years old. But not us. We’ve built a process specifically for houseboat buyers, with no age limit on the vessel as long as it’s Coast Guard documented and in good running order. That means no automatic declines, no narrow underwriting boxes, and no compromises on the boat you actually want to buy.

Houseboats 15 years and newer qualify for our 20-year terms starting at 7.49%. Older houseboats—15 to 50 years old—qualify for 10-year terms starting at 8.99%. All houseboat loans require a marine survey from a NAMS or SAMS certified surveyor, which protects you, the lender, and the deal itself. We’ll walk you through every step from first call to final signature.

Why Choose Us

Float Finance Knows Houseboats

Financing a houseboat can feel complicated—especially with an older vessel—but with Float Finance it’s secure, simple, and fully supported by experts who know houseboats inside and out.

We Finance Vessels Other Lenders Won’t
Most banks have rigid age caps that disqualify older houseboats automatically. We don’t. As long as your houseboat is Coast Guard documented and in good running order, we have a program for it—no maximum age limit on the vessel itself.

Real Houseboat Knowledge, Real Guidance
Survey requirements, Coast Guard documentation, hull inspections, freshwater versus saltwater profiles—we speak the language. When you call Float Finance, you’re talking to someone who understands what makes a houseboat fundable and how to structure the deal around the vessel.

Based in Alton Bay, Lending Nationwide
We’re a New Hampshire marine lender by location, but our houseboat loan program serves buyers in all 50 states. Wherever your houseboat is docked, we can finance it.
