"I reached out to several companies and Sterling was the most accommodating with the best rates and terms. This is my fourth boat and the best experience I've had obtaining a loan."

It is so refreshing to work with a company that is organized, professional and expeditious! I would not hesitate to use them again for our next boat purchase. Friendly, kind and the type of people you feel good about giving your business to. If you are looking for a boat or RV loan- these guys should be at the top of your list! Such a smooth process!

Sterling Acceptance Corporation was exceptional throughout the entire loan process. Kate Hamill was incredibly responsive to my emails, texts, and phone calls to get our deal done. SAC's team was able to surpass their competitors with securing a phenomenal rate while simultaneously providing superior customer service. I highly recommend SAC for anyone interested in finding a true partner and 'easy button' solution for their next boat loan.

This company was very attentive to our goal and especially the timeline of our purchase. They were responsive, kept us informed, stayed in touch with sellers as much as us, the buyers. Explained the process before and during the entire purchasing experience. We would highly recommend this business for personal attention and professional responsibility. They were a breath of fresh air in our purchase experience!

I highly recommend Sterling Acceptance Corp. I have worked with them on two boat loans. Both times, they made it easy, were always available (day or night) for a call to answer my questions, and really worked to find me the best possible loan. I wont ever work with anyone else!

We used Sterling for two boat loans and closings. They made the process simple and very streamlined. Sterling excels at finding the best rates and gettting all paperwork taken care of quickly and efficiently. Dave was also able to find us much better boat insurance coverage and rates than we currently had. We would 100% recommend Sterling for any boat loan.
