This is commercial marine lending: workboats, charter and tourism vessels, commercial fishing boats, barges and pontoons. Vessels bought for private recreation sit with consumer lenders, not here.
Survey is what makes a vessel fundable. A boat in current survey with a clean condition report finances on far better terms than one due, because the certificate is the lender's evidence the asset is worth what the contract says. On a business purchase, know which certificates travel with the vessel and which do not: survey follows the boat, the operating certificate follows the operator.
Seasonality is normal in this class and can be structured for. Charter and tourism operators commonly carry repayments weighted to the earning months rather than flat across a year.
Buying a charter business rather than a bare vessel? See the charter business guide for what transfers and what does not.
