Trident Funding Corporation was started in June 1996 by James Foley, Robert Dunford and Michael Bryant.  It has grown to be a national leader in the boat loan industry. Messrs. Foley, Dunford and Bryant were previously longtime members of the First New England Financial's management team and collectively have over 100 years in the boat loan business.

Trident presently has ten boat loan origination offices nationwide, all managed and staffed with boat loan experts. This depth of experience plus the extensive bank network the Company has established has been important for boat loan customers who benefit by the professional service and attractive array of programs and competitive terms which Trident can offer.
