Warranty
Rest assured that we stand behind your new Hobie watercraft with the following warranties. For 2019 and newer model years: Hobie Kayak, Eclipse, SUP – 3 years, Inflatable Kayaks & SUPS – 2 years, Sailboats – 3 years, Europe 2 years. For model years prior to 2019, your Hobie comes with a 2-Year Warranty (1-Year Warranty on all SUPs). The Warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, improper storage, or running into stuff. The Warranty covers defects in the materials, manufacturing, and design. Hobie, at its option, will repair or replace a product found to be defective under the terms and within the period of this Warranty.
To Obtain Warranty Service
Within 30 days of discovering a defect, take your Hobie product, along with proof of purchase (sales receipt or registration card) to the authorized Hobie dealer from whom you purchased your boat, unless you have moved or are traveling. In that case, take it to the nearest authorized Hobie dealer.
Disclaimer - Product Life Cycle
Every Hobie has a useful product life cycle. The length of that life cycle will vary depending on multiple factors including; the construction and materials, storage and transport, maintenance and care, and the amount and type of use your Hobie is subjected to over its life. We have been engineering fun on the water since 1950. However, we can’t engineer our products to survive improper usage, such as incorrect storage or transport, exposure to excessive heat or sunlight, or collisions with your garage. Whatever the case may be, we'll always point you in the right direction.
