We just closed a loan on our second yacht financed with Trident Funding. They continue to offer excellent customer service, a great rate, and timely processing. We would recommend them to anyone needing a yacht loan.
We could not have been more pleased with the ease of the process to secure our boat financing. The Trident team got everything prepared for us remotely by working with our broker and insurance agent which allowed us to enjoy our vacation. Status updates were frequent and helped us know all was proceeding properly.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your help in the purchase of our 2017 Beneteau Swift Trawler earlier this year. Throughout the process of budgeting, planning, and dreaming, you were there every step of the way and I can’t thank you enough for the support you provided to us. Knowing that we got the right yacht, at the right price and financed her with a lender we can trust means everything. You’re the best!
