OPTIONS

Marine leasing or boat loan: the option that fits your boat

Marine leasing

Designed for new boats flying the Spanish flag. You pay a deposit of between 20% and 50%, fixed-rate monthly instalments over 4 to 15 years and, at the end, the boat passes into your name for an amount fixed from day one. It covers vessels on the Spanish 6th and 7th registration lists and lets you transfer the contract to a third party if you sell the boat before the end.

Boat loan

The boat is yours from the moment you sign, whether new or pre-owned (the age of the vessel plus the term cannot exceed 35 years). Minimum deposit of 20%, a fixed-rate term of 4 to 15 years and the option of a higher final instalment to reduce your monthly payments.

You don’t have to choose blindly: we analyse your case (private use or charter, new or pre-owned, resident or non-resident) and recommend the option with the best tax and financial terms.
