$900K Private Yacht Financing for Vancouver Realtor | Specialty Asset Financing Solution

Client: Top-Performing Vancouver Realtor Loan Amount: $900,000 Asset: Princess S60 Yacht

A successful Vancouver realtor saw an opportunity to diversify her income by launching a luxury charter business. Her plan: acquire a $1.5 million Princess S60 yacht to service high-net-worth clients along the BC coastline. However, due to lending restrictions around specialty assets, traditional lenders declined to provide financing—despite her excellent credit profile and business plan.

We structured a private yacht financing solution secured by the vessel itself. The $900,000 loan (60% LTV) was delivered at a fixed 8.5% rate with a 1.5% lender fee. Our team expedited the process by coordinating the yacht appraisal, condition assessment, and reviewing the charter operation’s financial projections.

Funding was completed within three weeks, allowing the client to close on the yacht and immediately begin charter operations. The new revenue stream helped offset loan payments while expanding her professional network and elevating her brand in the luxury real estate space.

This transaction illustrates how specialty asset financing through private lending can enable entrepreneurs to move quickly on unique opportunities when conventional lenders fall short.
