These days fewer and fewer banks and leasing companies are involved with yacht finance. We are in regular contact with those who do cover this market. Each of these companies have their own requirements and criteria for lending. Take advantage of Opal Marine’s close relationships to find the right provider for you, whether a Bavaria 31 Cruiser or a Cantieri Di Pisa 153 Superyacht (there is no upper limit!).
We can talk you through the best way to apply for that finance as well as offer you some advice on what you will need to provide.
We have researched a number of insurance companies to find one of the best to provide you with a trustworthy and comprehensive policy combined with reasonable premiums.
DeNovo Underwriting Agencies provide policies to cover all types of vessel for home-waters or international cruising areas.
