The Benefits of a People’s Boat Loan
When you arrive at the marina with a boat loan that has already been approved, you get to decide what you want, instead of accepting what a sales representative says you qualify for. While this is a serious advantage, it is just one of the many benefits of boat financing with us, even if this is your first time buying a boat.
Other features of our boat loans include:
- Low rates: At People’s, we offer some of the best boat loan rates around with flexible terms to help keep your monthly payments affordable.
- No “as low as” trap: Once approved, all our members get the same low rates.
- Excellent member service: We treat our members like people and not numbers. Call us today with any questions you might have and experience the difference!
- We finance up to 100%: Taking the helm of the boat of your dreams does not require a large down payment.
- Buy any kind of boat or watercraft: Whether you want a jet ski, a sailboat, a fishing boat, a motor cruiser, or a yacht, People’s can make your vision a reality.
- We finance both new and used boats: You can use our boat loan for either a brand new or pre-owned boat.

FAQs About Boat Loans
How do boat loans work?
Boat loans work similarly to auto loans. You borrow a set amount of money to purchase the boat, and then make monthly payments over a predetermined period to pay off the loan, plus interest. The boat serves as collateral for the loan.
What is the typical term for a boat loan?
The typical term for a boat loan ranges from 4 to 12 years. It can vary depending on the loan amount, type of boat, and year of the boat.
Shorter loan terms typically mean higher monthly payments but less interest paid over the life of the loan. Longer loan terms, on the other hand, may result in lower monthly payments but more interest paid overall.
At People’s, All Members Get the Same Rate
People’s provides members with access to affordable credit through low-rate loans. What sets our credit union apart is that all members pay the same rate, no matter their credit score or amount in their account. We are here to help you with your financial needs.
