Why leverage a yacht?
- Find liquidity in a traditionally illiquid asset
Fund your purchase of a new or pre-owned superyacht through a bespoke financing strategy, or refinance the superyacht you currently own. - Preserve your equity capital
Make additional higher-yielding investments, direct additional funds toward your business, or increase liquidity to meet expected or unexpected cash flow requirements. - Maintain your investment strategy
Optimize and increase your assets without disrupting your investment portfolio. - Diversify your sources of liquidity
Superyacht financing offers a different source of borrowing, potentially freeing up other secured lines of credit for more tactical purposes.
