Financing to equip your boat
When we think of financing in the boating industry, we generally think of leasing for the purchase of a new boat. But a boat lives and needs maintenance, especially during winter, a period that is conducive to a small refit, a re-motorization, or a new mast. This is also the time when you want to update your electronics, buy the latest fishfinder for fishing or a trailer to finally go sailing wherever you want. So many projects that can generate important expenses where the use of credit deserves to be considered.
For all these investments and in order to satisfy one's passion for boating, April Marine offers financing packages at the best negotiated rates. Edith Durantet, head of the yachting financing division at APRIL Marine, points out that: "The advantage of being a broker is that we regularly negotiate rates with our banking partners that allow us to have a range of offers to meet all needs at very competitive rates."
Accompanying the boater
For April Marine, the approach goes beyond simple financing. The company wants to accompany the customer in his approach to the purchase and work on his boat. It can refer them to competent partner professionals for an optimal service. The April Marine manager insists: "Unlike a usual banker, we are specialists in yachting. When the yachtsman has an idea of his project but is not knowledgeable enough, he can contact us and we will accompany him in his steps with the "right" yachting professionals (engine manufacturer, chandler, etc.)
Various technical partners
April Marine has forged partnerships with major boating brands. Since 2018, the brand has been financing repowering alongside Mercury Marine, with specific offers up to zero rates. It also works with engine manufacturer Yanmar, and marine motorcycle manufacturer Seadoo.
On the sailboat side, the yachtsman will be able to work with the partner Selden for his rigging work. In electronics, April Marine has an agreement with Pochon. In each case, the objective is to provide the best technical partner.
While we await new offers in 2023, attractive negotiated rates are already available until the end of 2022.
