About Pegasus RIB & Sports Boat Finance

Pegasus Personal Finance is a specialist leisure lender with one of the most flexible propositions in the RIB and sports boat finance market. With rates starting from 7.5% APR, a 15-year maximum term, 85% LTV, and a low minimum loan of just £3,000, Pegasus caters to a broader range of buyers than most panel lenders - including first-time RIB buyers, those purchasing smaller or used craft, and borrowers seeking to spread cost over a longer period to reduce monthly outgoings.

Pegasus operates primarily as a consumer finance specialist, which means their underwriting approach is calibrated to personal borrowers rather than businesses. Their 85% LTV is the highest on our panel, reducing the deposit required - particularly valuable for buyers of higher-value RIBs where capital is better deployed elsewhere. The 15-year term, while attracting more total interest than a shorter arrangement, can make premium craft genuinely affordable for buyers whose monthly cashflow is the primary constraint.

Pegasus - What Works Well

  • Highest LTV on our panel at 85% - lowest deposit requirement
  • 15-year terms available - maximum payment flexibility
  • Minimum loan of just £3,000 - accessible for smaller purchases
  • Specialist leisure finance focus - sympathetic to RIB buyers
  • Flexible income assessment for non-standard employment

Pegasus - Points to Consider

  • Higher entry rate (7.5% APR) than some institutional lenders
  • Upper rate band at 13.5% - significant for lower credit scores
  • Longer terms mean more total interest over the loan life
  • Consumer-focused - less suited to business purchase scenarios
  • Rates at lower end require strong personal credit profile

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Is Pegasus suitable for a first-time RIB buyer?

Pegasus is one of the most accessible lenders for first-time buyers, with a low minimum loan, high LTV, and flexible income assessment. We regularly use Pegasus for buyers new to marine finance.

Can I borrow £3,000 from Pegasus to buy a small RIB?

Yes - Pegasus have one of the lowest minimum loan thresholds on our panel at £3,000, making them suitable for smaller or used RIB purchases.

Does Pegasus offer 15-year terms on all RIBs?

Longer terms are subject to the vessel age at end of term and the borrower's profile. We can confirm term eligibility for your specific purchase before you apply.

What is the deposit required with Pegasus at 85% LTV?

On an 85% LTV facility, you would need a 15% deposit. On a £30,000 RIB that equates to £4,500 - one of the lowest deposit requirements in our panel.

Does Pegasus consider applicants with a thin credit file?

Pegasus is generally more flexible than bank lenders on credit file depth. They look at overall affordability and payment history rather than simply a credit score threshold.
