There’s a boat for every summer budget

Queensland has fast become the nation’s leader in registered recreational vessels and with many different leisure boats out there, boating enthusiasts and wannabes alike have a smorgasbord to choose from.

Managing Director (Sales and Marketing) for The Haines Group, Greg Haines says Queensland’s recreational vessel industry is booming with a rise of 9,000 new vessel registrations in Queensland in the last financial year, accumulating to more than 220,000 vessels on our waters today.

According to Mr Haines, investing in a boat is a solid and worthwhile investment, from both a financial and lifestyle perspective.

“During the current uncertain economic climate, we have introduced our own finance company, Haines Group Impressions, to assist customers who are looking to own a boat this summer,” Mr Haines said.

“Haines Group Impressions offer tailor-made finance solutions to customers for a diverse range of lifestyle vessels at the industry’s most competitive rates.

“We want to ensure that consumers have a number of options in the current economic downturn to allow them to purchase and enjoy their new boat without feeling a significant financial strain – The next biggest decision is which boat to choose,” he said.   

“We have a range of vessels including inflatable boats, premium fishing vessels, and lifestyle boats ideal for a range of watersports, so there is something for everybody’s needs and budgets.”
