A jet ski isn’t just a toy. It’s a lifestyle investment. Whether you’re planning to cruise Sydney Harbour, tow a wakeboard at your local lake, or explore Australia’s coastline, owning a personal watercraft (PWC) can turn summer into an unforgettable adventure.
But buying a jet ski outright isn’t always practical, especially with new models often costing between $10,000 and $25,000. That’s where jet ski finance comes in.
At On Road Finance, we help Australians access affordable, fast, and tailored finance for personal watercraft with flexible options that suit your budget and goals. If you’re thinking about buying a jet ski this summer, here’s everything you need to know.
What Is Jet Ski Finance?
Jet ski finance is a type of personal loan or asset finance specifically used to purchase a personal watercraft such as a Sea-Doo, Yamaha WaveRunner, or Kawasaki Jet Ski.
There are two main types of finance available:
Secured Loan – The loan is tied to the jet ski as security. This often means lower interest rates and better terms.
Unsecured Loan – The loan is not tied to the asset, giving you more flexibility, but usually with higher interest.
At On Road Finance, we help you choose the right structure depending on your financial situation, usage plans, and credit profile.
Who Is Eligible for Jet Ski Finance?
You may be eligible if you:
- Are over 18 and hold Australian residency
- Have a regular income and stable employment
- Hold a valid driver’s licence (required by most lenders)
- Can demonstrate the ability to repay the loan
If you’re self-employed or run a business, we can also look at financing through your ABN. This is ideal for charter operators or guided tour businesses using PWCs.
What Can You Finance?
You can finance a wide range of personal watercraft, including:
- Brand-new jet skis from dealerships
- Used jet skis purchased privately or from a marine trader
- Single or dual-seat models
- Luxury or performance models (Sea-Doo, Yamaha, Kawasaki, etc.)
- Trailer and accessories (if bundled in the same purchase)
In many cases, the trailer can be included in the loan. Just ask us to structure it as part of the asset package.
How Much Does a Jet Ski Loan Cost?
Loan costs will vary based on:
- Purchase price
- Deposit (if any)
- Loan term (e.g. 3 to 5 years)
- Interest rate
- Balloon payment (optional)
As a general guide, repayments might range from $150 to $350 per month, depending on the model and structure. At On Road Finance, we compare rates from a panel of lenders to ensure you get a competitive deal without the stress.
What Documents Do You Need?
To apply for jet ski finance, you will typically need:
- Proof of ID (e.g. driver’s licence, passport)
- Recent payslips or income verification
- Bank statements
- Employment details or ABN (for self-employed)
- Quote or invoice for the jet ski you want to purchase
Our Sydney-based team helps streamline this process. No long forms, no jargon, just a fast and friendly online experience.
How Long Does Approval Take?
Fast finance is our specialty. Many applications are approved within 24 to 48 hours, especially if you have your documentation ready and know which jet ski you want.
If you’re still shopping around, we can arrange pre-approval so you know exactly what you can afford before committing.
