How boat financing works in Florida
Florida is the largest recreational-boat market in the country, so marine lenders here run dedicated programs rather than folding boats into a generic auto product. Loans above roughly $25,000 use marine underwriting: a surveyor's valuation on used hulls, longer terms, and rates that improve sharply once the balance passes $50,000.
Saltwater use shapes the details. Lenders want proof of hull insurance before funding, and older saltwater boats need a recent survey because corrosion and engine hours drive the collateral value more than model year does. Documented vessels add a Coast Guard title step that can extend closing by a few days.

What credit score do you need for a boat loan in Florida?
Marine lenders generally start at 680, with the strongest pricing above 740. Below 640, financing usually means a larger down payment and a newer or smaller boat as collateral.
How long can you finance a boat in Florida?
Small runabouts finance over 5–10 years; larger cruisers and yachts commonly run 15–20 years. Longer terms cut the monthly payment but materially increase total interest.
Do I need a survey?
For most used boats, yes. Lenders require a recent marine survey to confirm condition and value — especially for saltwater-used hulls, where engine hours and corrosion matter more than age.
