BIA Victoria will launch an exciting addition to its services at the Melbourne Boat Show next week with the introduction of BIA Victoria Finance.BIA Finance will be available for the first time at the Show that opens next Thursday 2 July and runs until Monday 6 July at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.
The introduction of a finance division within BIA Victoria means it just got easier for show patrons to buy that dream boat.
It’s as simple as selecting the boat and visiting the BIA finance stand where a staff member will help complete the application to finance it.
BIA members will have the opportunity to offer BIA Victoria Finance at their dealerships, and buyers seeking BIA Victoria Finance at any time can simply phone 1300 761 638 or visit www.finance.biavic.com.au.
BIA Victoria General Manager Robert Coco said the launch of BIA Victoria Finance was a highlight of this year’s Show.
“We are very pleased to offer BIA Victoria finance to our members and the boating public,” he said.
“It is all about supporting the industry as a whole by putting forward a product that will help to increase boat sales, thus helping more people to enjoy the boating lifestyle.”
For those who purchase a boat at the show, BIA also offers a free half day boat handling course with expert Alan Rice to ensure boat buyers get the most enjoyment out of their new purchases.
For people new or returning to boating, the Coast Guard will run licence training and testing sessions at 10:30am and 3:00pm daily for the cost of $70, with all proceeds going to help the Coast Guard in its vital work on the waterways.
Melbourne Boat Show runs from Thursday 2 July to Monday 6 July at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. Opening hours are 10am to 9pm daily except Sunday, when the show closes at 7pm, and Monday when it closes at 8pm.
