Warranty Information

Hobie provides a limited two year hull warranty.

Hobie warrants each kayak to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the period listed below. For retail customers in the United States, U.S. possessions and Canada, Hobie will repair or, at its discretion, replace defective parts.

The warranty period for the hull is two years and two year for the Hobie Mirage Drive, rudder, seat and paddle.

This warranty does not cover:

•Normal wear and discoloration.

•Damage caused by abuse or failure to perform normal maintenance.

•Damage caused by hitting submerged objects or beaching without retracting or removing the Mirage Drive and rudder.

•Impact and wear damage on Mirage Drive sails.

•Damage caused by mooring or storing boat in water.

•Damage caused by alterations or modifications.

•Transportation of boat or parts to Hobie or its dealers.

•Any boat used as a rental or placed in commercial service.

•Any other consequential damage, incidental damages or incidental expenses, including damage to property. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

To Obtain Warranty Service: Within 30 days of discovering a defect, take your boat, along with the proof of purchase (sales receipt) 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 Kayak Dealer.

Implied Warranties: Any implied warranties, including implied warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, shall be no longer than the duration of this express warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you. Hobie makes no express warranties in addition to this limited warranty. Hobie Dealers have no authority to make warranties on behalf of Hobie Cat Company in addition to, or inconsistent with, those stated herein.

To the extent any provision of this warranty is prohibited by Federal, State or Municipal law and cannot be preempted, it shall not be applicable. This warranty gives you specific legal rights.
