As a boat retailer, you’re in the business of making dreams come true. Whether it’s a fishing boat, a speedboat, or a luxury yacht, your customers are looking for an escape on the water. But for many, buying a boat outright can feel like an impossible dream. That’s where offering finance options can make all the difference—not just for your customers, but for your business too.

At SALT, we specialise in providing consumer loans for leisure boat purchases, and we’ve seen firsthand how boat retailers like you can benefit from offering finance solutions. Here’s how:

1. Increase Sales Revenue

Providing finance options opens up your products to a much wider audience. Customers who might not have the funds upfront can now afford their dream boat by spreading the cost over manageable monthly payments. This often leads to higher-value purchases, as customers feel empowered to choose the boat they really want, rather than settling for a smaller or less-equipped model.

2. Attract New Customers

By promoting flexible finance options, you’re more likely to capture the attention of customers who might otherwise be hesitant to visit your showroom. Financing removes one of the biggest barriers to buying—a large upfront payment—and gives you a competitive edge over retailers that don’t offer this convenience.

3. Close Sales Faster

Customers often take time to weigh the pros and cons of such a significant purchase. But with a financing option in place, you can remove hesitation. When customers realize they can afford the boat they’ve been eyeing, the decision becomes much easier, and you’re able to close the sale quickly.

4. Build Customer Loyalty

Offering finance demonstrates that you’re invested in helping your customers achieve their dreams. This builds trust and loyalty, encouraging repeat business and positive word-of-mouth recommendations.
