Financing
The Art and Engineering of Yacht Finance
Giving a new dimension to your maritime project
For more than 30 years, RIVIERA BOAT SERVICES has been structuring and arranging yacht finance for discerning European clients seeking excellence, discretion and genuinely tailored solutions.
We operate where conventional approaches reach their limits. Every project is unique, and every financing structure is carefully designed to achieve the right balance between financial efficiency, legal and tax considerations, and your broader wealth strategy.
A tailored approach, without compromise
Financing a yacht goes far beyond securing a loan. It requires a careful balance between financial optimisation, legal considerations, taxation and long-term wealth planning. We structure fully bespoke leasing and credit solutions, taking into account every key dimension of your project:
- Type of yacht — motor or sailing
- Size and value of the vessel
- Flag, intended use and location
- Wealth position and long-term objectives
No standardised solutions. No assumptions. Simply a financing structure precisely aligned with your circumstances and objectives.
Beyond traditional bank financing
Where generalist institutions typically offer standardised solutions, we provide a tailored, agile and strategic approach. Our bespoke services include:
- Comprehensive analysis of your project
- Optimised and bespoke structuring
- Significant flexibility in financing arrangements
- A long-term wealth planning perspective
We do more than finance a yacht. We structure a maritime and wealth project.
30 years of expertise at your service
Three decades of experience in yacht finance enable us to anticipate, structure and secure complex transactions, with a deep understanding of the European financial, legal and tax environment. Our network of specialist financial partners, combined with our in-depth knowledge of the market, makes us a trusted reference for the most demanding projects, whatever their scale.
Absolute discretion, trusted relationships
Our clients expect more than a service provider. They seek a reliable, discreet and committed partner. We ensure the highest level of confidentiality throughout every stage of your project. Your dedicated contacts are experienced, accessible and personally involved, with a sophisticated understanding of the expectations of an international clientele. This direct, long-term relationship, built on trust, lies at the heart of our approach.
