Warranty:

Warranty is a complicated subject below are guidelines as to what warranty is offered with a NEW boat package.  There are more details in the hand book or please contact us for clarification of any point.

It is important to remember that it is ALWAYS the responsibility of the owner of the craft to take the boat / item to a dealer for that item, at the owners expense, to get something looked at under warranty.

This may mean in the case of the boat it being returned to us in the UK for ANY warranty to be undertaken.

There is no ON SITE WARRANTY on any part of the package, you will always have to take it somewhere at your cost.

LEISURE & COMMERCIAL Warranty:
