About Shearwater Global Capital

Shearwater Global Capital is a specialist aviation finance firm dedicated to business jets and special mission aircraft, operating as the aviation finance vertical of Bay Point Advisors. This structure gives clients access to the best of both worlds: the deep asset expertise and entrepreneurial agility of Shearwater, backed by Bay Point’s broader private credit platform and institutional capital base. Together, we are able to offer a fuller spectrum of direct financing solutions than either firm could provide independently — from pure asset-based lending to credit-based structures — tailored to the unique needs of each client.

Our team brings decades of experience drawn from leading financial institutions and global advisory firms, with deep specialist knowledge across aviation finance and asset-backed transactions. We are driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a commitment to transparency — working closely with both clients and capital partners to deliver solutions built around their specific objectives, not off-the-shelf products.

Direct Asset-Based Lending

As a direct private debt lender, Shearwater provides customized asset-based financing for business jets and special mission aircraft worldwide. Our capital is sourced from a network of private investors — including family offices and high-net-worth individuals — which allows us to operate outside the regulatory constraints of traditional banks. This flexibility enables us to structure transactions with greater speed and creativity, optimizing terms to protect capital value and enhance the acquisition and ownership experience for each client.

Bay Point’s platform extends our reach further still. With access to a broader pool of institutional capital, we are able to offer more competitive pricing on asset-based transactions than Shearwater could provide as a standalone lender — without compromising the bespoke, relationship-driven approach that defines how we work.

Credit-Based Financing

Through Bay Point’s broader private credit platform, Shearwater is also able to offer credit-based financing structures for qualifying clients and transactions. This capability — sourced directly through Bay Point’s own capital — expands the range of solutions we can deliver without introducing third-party lenders into the process. Clients benefit from a single, trusted counterparty across the full spectrum of their financing needs.

What We Finance

Shearwater focuses on transactions that fall outside the appetite of conventional bank lenders. Our target market includes large and mid-size business jets, special mission aircraft, older-vintage assets, pre-delivery and construction financings, and aviation real estate. We are deliberately diversified across aircraft types and borrower profiles, and we lend globally — with growing U.S. competitiveness through Bay Point’s expanded capital base.

Our Commitment

Whether structuring an asset-based loan or a credit facility, Shearwater’s standard is the same: lasting relationships, creative thinking, and the highest level of personal and professional integrity. We measure our success not by transaction volume, but by the quality of the outcomes we deliver for our clients and investors over the long term.
