Buying with finance in South of France

[ruperdoop]

Hi all,

Sorry if other threads cover this but couldn't find them...but of a noob here!

Currently living in Sweden but UK citizen and looking to buy a 3 cabin cruiser (something like Azimut 46, Princess 45, Jeanneau Prestige 46, Elan Power 42 HT) in South of France to keep berthed there to enjoy our summers. Looking to spend up to €200k.

I need to finance the boat - boat loans here in sweden are v favorable (20% down and 15 year term) but they won't finance non swedish registered boats.

Can anyone point me in the direction of firms/brokers that can help me find and buy (and also hopefully sort a berth etc) in South of France?

Any help gratefully appreciated!
