Marine and Aviation Finance

Marine & Aviation Finance — A Trusted Partner for Senior Private Bankers
In the superyacht and business aviation sectors, financing demands a level of structuring expertise, discretion, and execution capability that aligns with the expectations of globally mobile, high-net-worth clients. We act as a specialist capital advisory partner to Senior Private Bankers seeking reliable, technically proficient support in these complex asset classes.
Our approach is deliberately collaborative. We work alongside private banking teams to design bespoke financing solutions that meet the client’s objectives while safeguarding the integrity of the underlying banking relationship. Every structure is tailored to reflect ownership vehicles, jurisdictional considerations, asset registry requirements, and cross-border tax and legal frameworks.
In marine finance, we advise on secured lending for new-build and pre-owned superyachts, including pre-delivery facilities, construction-stage drawdowns, and refinancing strategies. In aviation, we structure funding for business jets and larger aircraft, addressing operational structures, registration strategy, and lender-specific underwriting criteria.
The lending landscape in both sectors is highly specialised. Credit appetite varies significantly by asset profile, age, flag, operator structure, and borrower jurisdiction. Our value lies in maintaining active dialogue with a broad spectrum of lenders — including international banks, private banks, specialist asset financiers, and alternative capital providers — enabling us to position each transaction precisely within current market parameters.
Importantly for Senior Private Bankers, our structures are designed to complement — not compete with — the existing client relationship. Where appropriate, we source financing from lenders who do not require pledged AUM, thereby preserving the private bank’s balance sheet exposure and client retention strategy.
The result is a discreet, execution-focused advisory capability that enhances your offering to clients acquiring or refinancing high-value marine and aviation assets, while ensuring disciplined structuring and dependable delivery in a technically demanding market.
