There’s a range of options available to you depending on your circumstances. Our experts can help to guide you through the different types of jet ski loans, which options you qualify for and the potential pros and cons of each.

Secured loans are commonly used by private individuals buying jet skis for predominantly personal use.

Whilst you take ownership of the jet ski at the time of purchase the lender will keep their interest registered until the loan is fully paid. Once the loan is paid in full the lender removes their interest and you have what is known as ‘clear title’.

Unsecured loans are commonly used by private individuals for personal use purchases.

The main feature of an unsecured loan is that you don’t have to provide any collateral as security to the lender.

Hire purchase is suitable when the jet ski will be used for predominantly (50%+) business purposes. The product is mainly used by ABN holders – companies, sole traders, trusts and partnerships.

Hire Purchase can also be referred to as Commercial Hire Purchase and Term Purchase. Under a hire purchase agreement, the lender owns the jet ski during the term of the loan. The lender registers an interest in the jet ski to show others that they are using it as security for the loan.

A chattel mortgage is suitable when the jet ski will be used predominantly (50%+) for business purposes. The product is mainly used by ABN holders – companies, sole traders, trusts and partnerships.

Under a chattel mortgage, the lender takes the jet ski (chattel) that you’re using the loan for as collateral. The lender registers an interest in the chattel to show others that they are using it as security for the mortgage.

A lease can also be referred to as a finance lease or asset lease. Under a lease agreement, the user (the lessee) pays the owner (the lessor – normally a bank or finance company) for the use of the jet ski, based on its GST exclusive price. The lessor registers an interest (also known as an encumbrance) in the jet ski to show others that they are using it as security for the lease.

Whilst you get the benefits of owning the lessor retains actual ownership of the jet ski. There is a residual value (balloon payment) at the end of the lease. This is an amount that is offset until the end of the term which has the effect of reducing your regular lease payments (rentals).
