Everything you need to know about watercraft loans.

What types of watercraft does Firefighters First Credit Union finance?

We finance new and used personal watercraft, including jet skis, WaveRunners and similar stand-up and sit-down models. A trailer must be included as part of the collateral for the loan. If you’re unsure whether your watercraft qualifies, contact us and we’ll let you know!

Can I finance 115%* of my watercraft purchase?

In many cases, yes. We offer up to 115%* financing on approved credit, which means you may not need a down payment. Your eligibility will depend on your credit history, loan amount and other factors reviewed during the application process.

What’s the difference between getting a loan from Firefighters First Credit Union versus a dealer?

Dealership financing is often arranged through third-party lenders who may not offer the most competitive rates. When you finance through Firefighters First Credit Union, you’re borrowing directly from a credit union built exclusively for the Fire Family. That means your rate is not marked up to benefit a middleman. This may also help lower the cost of additional products like GAP. It’s worth getting pre-approved with us before you visit a dealership so you know exactly what you qualify for.

How do I know what rate I’ll receive?

Your rate is determined by several factors including your credit score, loan term and loan amount. The rate shown on this page is the lowest available rate. The best way to find out your actual rate is to apply. Contact us if you have questions before applying.

Can I refinance an existing watercraft loan?

Yes. If you currently have a watercraft loan with another lender and you’re paying a higher rate, we may be able to refinance it at a better rate. Contact us or stop by a branch to explore your options.

Do I need to be a member to apply?

You need to be a member to receive a loan from Firefighters First Credit Union. If you’re not yet a member, you can join and apply at the same time. Membership is open to firefighters and their families. Visit our Become a Member page to get started.
