Boat Loans

DCU's low rates make it easy to purchase a new or used boat. Qualified borrowers can finance up to 100% of the purchase price – enough to cover sales tax, Insurance Premiums, and more. You can finance your boat trailer and an outboard motor along with your boat if you like. Have an existing loan elsewhere? Move it here and save.
Boats longer than 25 feet may require additional documentation to complete your loan. A DCU representative will let you know what's needed after you apply.
Check out the StreetWise Boat Guide for unbiased information on buying and owning an RV.



 Same Low Rates on New and Used

Our rates are typically beat bank and dealer financing on new boats, but we're often substantially lower on used. Why? They charge you more because the boat is older. We don't. You get the same low rate you'd get on a new one. Look at current rates. Your base rate is determined by your personal credit history.
Boats with a bathroom, kitchen and sleeping area might qualify for a 20-year variable-rate loan.



 Best Rates with Loyalty Checking Plus and Electronic Payment

When you have a Loyalty Checking Plus relationship and pay electronically for the full term of your loan, your loan rate will be 1/2% below those of other payment methods.
Electronic payment methods include automatic transfer, PC Branch, or Easy Touch Telephone Teller.



 Extended Terms and Many Options Keep Payments Affordable

Terms are available up to 20 years.
  • Fixed-Rate option - For New or Used Boats with fixed rates and payments throughout the life of the loan. Available for up to 120 months
  • Variable-Rate option - For New or Used Boats with bathroom, kitchen, and sleeping areas. Available for 15 years or 20 years. Rates and payments are fixed for the first three years, then can change once a year thereafter until the end of the term.

 Shopping With An Approval Is Like Shopping With Cash

Whey you go into a dealership with an approved loan, it's like shopping with cash. You don't need to haggle over financing and you're free to negotiate on price alone. You can take advantage of any cash rebates to lower the amount you borrow. That can cut your monthly payments. Your approval is valid for 60 days giving you plenty of time to find the vehicle you want and strike a deal.
