Finance for working boats.
We've partnered with 9ROK — an independent commercial finance brokerage, also based in Oban — for boats bought to work: charter boats, workboats, commercial RIBs, passenger and dive boats, aquaculture support and crew transfer vessels. New build or used.
- Tell them the boat
- A few minutes on their enquiry form — the boat, the price, the work it'll do.
- Straight answer first
- An indicative view within one working day. No credit check and no obligation at that stage.
- Then the proper bit
- Survey and valuation on used vessels, lender registration, completion — typically within weeks.
It's business lending for UK businesses — trading history and accounts matter, and commercial use means the boat's coding matters too, which is ground we both know well. Buying a boat for your own leisure use? That's lending 9ROK doesn't arrange — you'd want a marine finance provider that deals with private buyers.
Finance is arranged directly by 9ROK Limited, a commercial finance broker, not a lender, arranging unregulated business and investment finance only. Rio Brown Marine is not a lender or credit broker and does not give financial advice.
