Shearwater Global Capital
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Shearwater combines direct asset-based private debt lending with credit-based financing arrangement for business jets, yachts, and selected aviation assets. Public materials emphasize flexible structures, global reach, lender-market access, and a fit for borrowers or aircraft that traditional banks may not handle well. The 2026 Bay Point relationship appears to broaden its capital base and aviation finance platform.

Independent customer-review evidence is very thin. Public signal comes mainly from official materials, LinkedIn activity, industry-association listings, and aviation trade coverage. Those sources consistently position Shearwater as a specialist aviation private-credit firm for business jets, special mission aircraft, older assets, cross-border work, and borrowers that do not fit conventional bank criteria.
