Sterling Acceptance Corporation, Annapolis, MD

I have financed 3 vessels with Sterling since 2000. All 3 loans were handled by Mary Ann Savage. Mary Ann is well versed in the New England market, and frankly, a pleasure to work with. The support staff she has back at the home office is very responsive to my needs. They always get me the best rates and are a one-stop-shop for documentation.

Sterling Acceptance is excellent, a pleasure to work with and extremely knowledgeable regarding marine financial services. They are also invested in their work as they are boat owners too. Boat shopping is an addictive, taxing and emotional process... when we finally found 'the boat', it was important that the acceptance process was stress free. I had almost used Sterling Acceptance on a purchase the year prior and knew I wanted to work with them again on a fast transaction of an IP380. Matt Brown and crew are wonderful to work with and extremely competent in the services they deliver.

I contacted Matt to handle the financing of our Carver. He responded quickly and after a little bit of paperwork we soon had our commitment with great terms. I also worked with Dave on the insurance and that too was quick, easy and competitive. Both of them were responsive, knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. They made the closing painless and on time. Their support staff was on top of every detail. This experience could not have been better.

We used Sterling Acceptance Corp to finance our new boat and worked with Matt Brown on the transaction. Matt is a real pro and was a pleasure to work with. We got a great rate, great service, and a great boat. Can't say enough positives about the experience. If you're in the boat market, we highly recommend Sterling Acceptance Corporation.

Great people to work with! Received the best rate on a boat loan that no one else could get me -- and I tried many others! The staff worked with me to delay closing a few days when I was in surgery and had all the documents redrafted. I can highly recommend Sterling!

I just finished my second specialty marine financing deal in four years with Sterling Acceptance Corporation in Annapolis. It was another great experience. The process from purchase agreement to USCG Documentation flowed smoothly with complete explanations at each step with little to no work on my part. My loan search originated with Matt Brown and the process concluded with Kate Hamill. I could not have asked for more customer oriented service. This purchase represented my seventh sportfish, and was by far the easiest financing I have ever arranged.

I recently bought my first sailboat, and with it, I faced a steep learning curve concerning marine insurance and marine loans. Sterling Acceptance Corporation was invaluable! The wonderful employees of this small business assisted me at … More
