There is little
that is more enjoyable than spending some hard
earned leisure time relaxing upon the water, along
the river or canal, or maybe somewhere off the
coast.
“Leisure”,
of course, is a word that can mean a hundred different
things, and quite how you spend your time afloat
would quite depend on whether you are a sporty,
racy type or a sitting in the middle of a lake
watching your quiver tip type, but the principle
remains the same. You need a boat to take you
out to where you want to be, and a boat will cost
you money.
Although a boat
can be “home” to some, it will generally
depreciate in a way that bricks and mortar tends
not to. Therefore arranging a purchase by negotiating
a finance package may turn out to have more in
common with buying a car than with investing in
a house.
Broadly speaking
there are two ways of acquiring the necessary
finance for your yacht, your powerboat or your
barge on the canal. One is through a marine mortgage,
an arrangement through which money is secured
against the boat itself in much the same way as
a static property.
