JetLoan Capital, an independent aircraft and yacht loan broker based in Stuart, Florida, arranged loan funding for 60 aircraft and yacht transactions in 2025, totalling approximately $250 million. The transactions reflect continued strength across both the aviation and marine finance markets, with activity spanning a wide range of asset classes.
Transaction sizes ranged from USD 500,000 to USD 55 million. The financed collateral includes: light, mid-size and large-cabin business jets, including older models; general aviation aircraft, including turboprops and piston aircraft; helicopters; yachts and recreational boats; and aircraft hangars.
JetLoan Capital president Sam Harris remarks that borrower demand remains particularly strong in the light, midsize and large-cabin jet segments. “We are seeing sustained interest in business aircraft acquisitions, supported by the reinstatement of bonus depreciation, relatively stable aircraft values and declining interest rates,” he says. “These factors are giving buyers confidence to move forward with both new acquisitions and refinancing opportunities.”

The firm leverages relationships with more than 150 funding sources, including commercial banks, community banks, credit unions, finance companies and private equity lenders.
