Our Valued Customers
Here from those who have
chosen Key Marine to fund
their purchase.
“They made boat ownership feel achievable and even exciting!”
We’d talked about buying a boat for years but had no idea where to start. From our first call, the Marine Finance team were brilliant, they explained everything clearly, not just about the finance but about the real costs of ownership, from insurance and maintenance to mooring fees.
They even pointed us toward a couple of reputable marinas nearby. Within a week we’d been approved and were out viewing boats with confidence. We never felt pressured, just supported. It really felt like joining a community rather than signing a finance deal.

"A smooth, professional service that understood my lifestyle."
As a business owner, I wanted a smaller sailing boat to unwind during the off season, something practical but enjoyable. Their team understood that balance straight away. The process was fast, the rates were competitive, and they handled everything with genuine care.
What really impressed me was the personal advice, they connected me with a local broker and even sent through seasonal charter opportunities for owners. It’s rare to find a finance company that actually gets the lifestyle behind the purchase.

We can introduce you to a limited panel of lenders that offer marine finance products, but we do not offer financial advice or recommendations. We do not charge you a fee for our services, but we may receive commission from the lenders we introduce you to. The commission we receive may be a fixed fee or a percentage of the amount you borrow. The existence of commission does not affect the amount you will pay under the agreement. The commission we receive will vary depending on the lender, the product and the way you were introduced to us. We may share a proportion of commission with the broker or vendor that referred you to us. The commission we receive or pay will not increase the amount of interest you pay under your credit agreement compared with other customers in similar circumstances. We will always introduce you to the lender that best matches your needs and credit profile. If you would like to know the amount of commission we are paid for introducing you to a finance lender, please ask.
