Are you a self-employed business person looking for a no-income verification boat loan? At Chesapeake Financial, we specialize in no proof of income 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.
Over the last 33 years in business, we have become accustomed to the trials of the self-employed not having proof of income documentation. Well now we have the answer. If you do not have sufficient ability to prove your income but still maintain a high credit rating, we have more than one way of obtaining up to $199,999.00 even if you can’t. We can also overcome the lack of personal liquidity up to $299,999. That means that even if you can prove your income but lack the large savings or investment accounts that most lenders require, we can help there as well. Please feel free to give us a call to discuss these options.

Chesapeake Financial will provide you a timely response, instatnly or within within 24 hours of your application. Give us a call or get started online so you can stop wondering and start buying.

We play by the rules, but we think outside the box. Why go to a bank when you know they only got two things to do: turn you down or approve you. We make every effort to secure a boat loan for you. That means exploring all possible options. The bank won’t go the extra mile. We will. Your approval is our success.
We realize that things happen in life, but there are some items that lenders don’t look favorably upon. If you’ve experienced any of the following events within the last several years, then we won’t be able to secure a boat loan for you. That doesn’t mean there aren’t solutions, but it does take time and a game plan.

New and used boat loans begin at $35,000 and go as high as $22 Million. We do not finance boats that are older than 20 years of age. Interest rates vary by credit scores, age of boat, and equity positions. The wholesale value must be $50,000 or higher on boats older than 15 years of age and by no means, can we finance boats that are older than 20 years of age. We do not finance boats not listed in the NADA or BUC Value guides. Please refer to the section on what boats we can and cannot finance and the required down payments section.
The interest rate on a boat loan is based on the age of the boat, the total amount financed, your credit score, and vehicle valuation. We work with you to find the best rate possible for your credit situation.
Boats older than 2019 & over $100k normally requires full documentation including 2 years tax returns and a personal financial statement. Exceptions may apply. Personal liquidity (liquid assets) are an important part of a large loan approval process. Your personal financial statement will need enough liquidity to cover the loan.

Second, being prequalified can make the boat buying process a smooth experience. You can walk into a dealership and have confidence that you have financing already in place. Prequalification lets you know how much boat you can afford and what the monthly payments will be.
