We finance your maritime dreams

Our experts on all aspects of purchasing and financing of boats and yachts are Sandra Hein and Matthias Töpfer. They are looking forward to your telephone call and to working together with you.

Financing boats – something not every bank is willing to do. Unlike financing a car or motor vehicle, financing in the marine sector has not yet been established as a matter of course. However, the akf bank marinefinanz team has been active in this field for many years and we know exactly what we are doing.

akf bank is one of the major leasing and financing companies in Germany. We have two solid and renowned shareholders in the family business Vorwerk and the Bankhaus Lampe Group. Companies and manufacturers in selected industries as well as private customers have trusted our services and products for 50 years. Whether financing a new or a used yacht, we will put together personal financing concepts with the aim of finding the most optimal combination of instalment rate and term.

But we also go beyond that; we act as your partner. Our experience in the purchase of a yacht, finding a berth and yacht registration is at your disposal.

We provide support to dealers and manufacturers with individual financial products and cooperation. Our purchase and sales financing extend their entrepreneurial freedom to reliably achieve their goals.

Individual planning also requires consistent and personal contact persons. Our experts Sandra Hein and Matthias Töpfer are looking forward to your telephone call and to working together with you.
