What we finance

Four types of vessel's we fund

These are the vessel types we fund for UK owners and operators, each backed by the right lender for the hull. And if none of them is quite the right fit, we'll help you find what is.

Yachts and motor boats moored in a smart UK coastal marina

Motor yachts & cruisers

Flybridge, sports and trawler cruisers for private owners — acquisition, part-exchange equity and refinance against the vessel.

Typical range · £50k – £5m

Sailing yachts

Bluewater cruisers, catamarans and performance yachts for private owners and charter management — hire purchase, lease or refinance.

Typical range · £25k – £3m

RIBs, sportsboats & day boats

RIBs, sports and day boats for private owners, watersports businesses and charter fleets, including multi-boat purchases.

Typical range · £10k – £1m

Commercial vessels & refits

Workboats, passenger and commercial craft for operators, plus repowers, refits and equipment funded over the life they add to the vessel.

Typical range · £25k – £2m

How it works

From first call to handover.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    Ten to twenty minutes on the vessel, the use and your timing. No paperwork to get started, and no obligation.

  2. 02

    Structured and placed

    We prepare the case the way a marine credit committee wants to read it — the hull, survey, use and ownership structure — then approach the lenders most likely to compete for it.

  3. 03

    Terms to compare

    You receive indicative terms side by side — rate, term, fees and conditions — with a clear recommendation and the reasoning behind it.

  4. 04

    Underwriting to handover

    We manage the survey, marine title, lender queries and documentation through to completion, then stay on as your boating and fleet grow.

The numbers

See the shape of the repayment before you speak to anyone.

Move the sliders to model an amortising facility. It is a starting point for the conversation — not a quote, and not a credit decision.

Total repayable

Cost of credit

Indicative monthly repayment

Vessel price£250,000
Deposit0% · £0
Term5 years
Indicative rate9.50%
Balloon payment0% · £0

The deposit comes off the vessel price, and the figures below the sliders are worked out on the amount actually borrowed. Estimates assume a fixed-rate amortising loan with an optional balloon payment and no fees. Arrangement fees, valuations and lender-specific terms are quoted separately.

Why Alti

Judgement, not a lender list.

“Almost every buyer that walks away empty-handed was fundable. It was just sent to the wrong place, in the wrong shape.”

The Alti approach
  • Whole-of-market, not a panel of three

    Banks, challenge lenders and specialist marine financiers — chosen case by case, rather than whoever pays us most.

  • Structured before it is shopped

    Marine credit decisions are rarely about appetite. They are about how the case is presented — the vessel, the survey and the use — and we present it properly.

  • Fees agreed in writing

    Every fee is set out and signed off before we submit anything to a lender. No surprises at drawdown.

  • One point of contact

    The person who takes your first call runs the file through to delivery. You never re-tell your story to a call centre.
