Summer waits for no one, and neither should your jet ski plans. Thor Finance compares jet ski loan rates from over 45 lenders so you can get on the water this season with repayments that work for your budget.
A jet ski loan is a form of secured finance where the jet ski (also known as a personal watercraft or PWC) is used as collateral for the loan. Because the lender holds security over the asset, secured jet ski loans typically offer lower interest rates than unsecured personal loan alternatives.
Loan terms for jet skis commonly range from two to five years, though this varies by lender and loan amount. Fixed rate options lock in your repayments for the life of the loan, making it straightforward to budget. Variable rate options may also be available depending on the lender.
Jet ski purchases can range from a few thousand dollars for a well-maintained used model to over twenty thousand for a brand-new, high-performance unit. Regardless of where your budget sits, Thor Finance can compare options across our lender panel to find a loan that fits.
Financing a brand-new jet ski means you benefit from manufacturer warranties, the latest hull designs, fuel-efficient engines and updated safety features. Popular brands in the Australian market include Yamaha WaveRunner, Sea-Doo and Kawasaki, each offering a range of models from entry-level recreational craft to high-performance touring units.
From a finance perspective, new jet skis often attract some of the most competitive rates available. Lenders generally view new assets as lower risk, which can translate to more favourable loan terms. Whether you are buying from a dealership or a private sale of an unregistered new unit, Thor Finance can help you compare your options.
A quality used jet ski can be an excellent entry point into the sport, particularly if you want to test the waters (literally) before committing to a top-of-the-range model. Pre-owned jet skis from reputable brands can deliver years of reliable performance when properly maintained.
When financing a used jet ski, lenders will consider the age, condition and value of the craft. Some lenders set maximum age limits, while others are more flexible depending on the overall loan profile. An independent mechanical inspection is recommended before purchasing any used personal watercraft, especially if buying through a private sale.
Thor Finance works with lenders experienced in used asset finance, so we can help you find competitive rates even for pre-owned jet skis.
A jet ski is only part of the equation. You will also need a trailer to transport it, and many buyers choose to add accessories such as covers, GPS units, safety equipment and upgraded boarding platforms at the time of purchase.
In many cases, it is possible to bundle the cost of a trailer and essential accessories into your jet ski loan. This simplifies the finance process by rolling everything into a single loan with one set of repayments. Your Thor Finance broker can advise on which lenders allow accessory bundling and how it may affect your loan terms.

Loan terms for jet skis typically range from two to five years. The right term depends on your budget and how much total interest you are comfortable paying. Your broker will help you find the best balance between repayment size and loan duration.
Most lenders require comprehensive insurance on the jet ski for the duration of the loan. This protects both you and the lender against damage, theft or total loss. Your broker will advise on specific insurance requirements.
