What changes when the yacht is tied to Charleston.

Home port, service history, vessel condition, intended use and ownership structure can matter alongside value and borrower strength.

YACHT / CHARLESTON
01

Home-port context

Charleston Harbor / Lowcountry can matter for dockage, service access, survey logistics and intended cruising pattern. The actual vessel location should be clear.

02

Ownership profile

We distinguish personal use, charter-related activity, acquisition, refinance, equity cash-out and refit needs before lender outreach.

03

What we pressure-test

Builder, model, year, condition, liens, insurance, value support, beneficial ownership, guarantors, liquidity and repayment strategy.

SUPERYACHT SCREEN

Large-vessel requests can require a different capital structure.

For qualified superyacht transactions, certain specialty-lender programs may consider approximately 85–210 foot vessels, financing requests from about USD $2MM, acquisition / refinance / equity release / construction structures, up to 60% net LTV, and terms up to 7 years with balloon options. Hull age guidance can differ materially by construction—for example, around 10 years for GRP and up to about 20 years for steel in some programs.

Illustrative only. Vessel, flag, jurisdiction, valuation, use, borrower strength, title, insurance and lender underwriting control final eligibility and terms.
