Boat Loan Financing

As a national lender with over 30 years experience, the team at Chesapeake Financial are not only boat loan experts, we’re boat enthusiasts. We make boating adventures possible every day. Our business is built upon treating each customer with respect and helping them achieve financing for the boat of their dreams. We know how important customer service is, which is why when you contact us, you’ll be speaking with an expert in the field, not an automated system.

 

We’re the number one boat loan lender nationwide and proud of it. We work to ensure that every possible option is considered before making a loan determination. Our fast process also ensures that you’ll receive a response from us within 24 hours. We’ll go farther to qualify you for a boat loan than a bank would ever think about doing. We have the expertise in the industry to secure financing for you and if we can’t get you a loan, we’ll let you know why.

No Doc or Proof of Income Loans

Are you a self-employed business person looking for a no-income verification boat loan? At Chesapeake Financial, we specialize in no-doc loans to help you acquire the boat you want.

A no-doc loan means the borrower doesn’t have to provide the lender with standard proof-of-income documents such as tax returns, paychecks, or W2s. We may verify your income through earning statements, savings, assets, stock holdings, and more. Traditionally, self-employed no-income verification boat loans have larger down payment requirements and higher interest rates. Give us a call to discuss your specific situation.
