Complimentary breakdown assistance

When you purchase a car, on many occasions it comes with complimentary breakdown assistance but buy a boat and you are left to your own devices. Now, Finlease has introduced a finance solution that gives boat owner breakdown assistance at sea.

The package is called 'SPS Marine Finance' which stands for 'Speed, Performance & Support'. Finlease says the program has been instituted as it "believes boat owners shouldn't be left stranded when they need professional assistance, on land or on the water".

SPS Marine Finance includes three months free membership of Sea Tow. Sea Tow provides free jump starts, fuel drops, prop disentanglements and more on a growing number of Australian waterways. And if Sea Tow can't get you going, they start towing.

"SPS Marine Finance also offers a one per cent lower interest rate than comparable marine finance solutions," said Mark O'Donoghue, principal of Finlease.

"In these tough economic times, that's a big plus that could save you many hundreds of dollars over the course of the loan."

"We've been financing boats for years, from pleasure boats to ultra luxury craft, from commercial vessels to charter boats. With SPS you get low interest from day one, with on water support as well."

Finlease will promote the new SPS package at next month's Sanctuary Cove Boat Show. For more details about Finlease's services click here
