A quick guide to jet ski finance
A jet ski loan lets you buy now and spread the cost into manageable repayments over 1–7 years. Whether it’s a Sea-Doo, WaveRunner or Kawasaki stand-up, you keep savings intact and still get out on the water.
Lenders look at your income, credit history and the PWC’s age/value to set your limit and rate. Newer models often unlock sharper pricing and longer terms; used skis are still financeable with slightly different limits. With the right structure, you can tow home your ski without the financial splash.

Case Study
Lauren
Lauren turns a wish list into a launch-ready setup
Challenge: Lauren wanted a new WaveRunner plus the trailer and safety gear, but didn’t want to empty her savings to get on the water.
Solution: A secured, fixed-rate 4-year loan funded 95% of the package, with the trailer and PFDs added at settlement.
Emu Money lined up the options and Lauren chose a low, fixed monthly repayment that wrapped everything into one facility. Paperwork midweek, handover Saturday—no surprise costs, just fuel and a grin.
How much can you borrow?
Loan sizes typically range from $3,000 to $50,000+. Limits depend on your income, credit profile and the ski’s age/value. New PWCs may qualify for higher LVRs; older models can still be financed with slightly shorter terms or lower caps.
Terms usually run 1–7 years. Shorter terms mean higher monthly repayments but less interest overall; longer terms keep repayments lower but increase the total interest paid. We’ll help you find the balance that fits your budget.

Balance over time
Are you eligible for jet ski finance?
Lenders want to see that repayments fit comfortably alongside your other bills. They’ll review your income, employment stability, credit history and recent bank statements. The craft matters too—newer skis often unlock sharper pricing and longer terms, while older models are still financeable with different limits. If your credit isn’t perfect, specialist lenders may still work with you.
You may be eligible if you are:
An Australian resident aged 18+
Earning a regular income (PAYG or self-employed)
Able to provide payslips or bank statements
Buying an eligible new or used jet ski from a dealer or private seller

Complete a short online application, upload your documents, and we’ll match you with lenders. Choose your offer and we’ll handle settlement with the seller so pickup and registration are seamless.
Documents you may need:
Driver’s licence or passport
Recent payslips or bank statements
Employment/ABN details
PWC details (HIN/VIN, invoice/quote) + trailer details if included
How to save money on a jet ski loan
Compare more than just the rate. Secured loans usually price sharper than unsecured. A balloon can lower monthly cost but leaves a lump sum at the end—set it to a level you can comfortably clear. Newer skis typically attract better pricing. Bundle essentials (trailer, PFDs, covers) at settlement so they’re financed at the same competitive rate, and check fees plus early-repayment policies so there are no surprises.
Example: Balloon impact — $18,000 over 48 months at 8.99% p.a.:
| Balloon | Approx. Monthly Repayment | Notes |
|---|---|---|
$0 | $449 | Highest monthly cost |
10% ($1,800) | $404 | Lower monthly cost |
20% ($3,600) | $361 | Balance of cost vs flexibility |
30% ($5,400) | $318 | Lowest monthly cost; plan to clear balloon |
Jet ski loan options explained
These features change cost, flexibility and risk—pick what suits how you ride and repay:
Secured vs Unsecured
Secured uses the PWC as collateral for sharper pricing. Unsecured may be quicker but usually costs more.
Fixed vs Variable
Fixed locks in steady repayments. Variable can fall—or rise—with market rates.
Balloon Payments
Push a lump sum to the end to reduce monthly cost—have a plan to pay, refinance or sell.
Early Repayment Flexibility
Some lenders let you pay extra or finish early with little/no penalty, saving interest.
Fees & Charges
Check establishment, monthly and exit fees—the real cost is rate + fees + time.

The process with Emu Money has been fantastic — completely stress-free. Thank you EMU Money I cannot thank the team enough. Having been given an opportunity to get a loan when my bank turned us away. The service team has been absolutely brilliant. When you've become used to waiting times of an hour or more with other companies - I don't think I have waited more than a couple of minutes for this team. Plus, their phone staff are so nice to deal with. Great job. I just had to acknowledge it.

She explained everything clearly, made the whole process stress-free, and went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable with each step. It's rare to find someone so reliable and efficient. I'd highly recommend Emu Money, and especially Robyn, to anyone looking for great service and peace of mind
