Karavan warranty for boats & kayaks
The short version
Karavan doesn't cover everything, but keeps whole trailer and bearings, cups and seals covered to 1 year. That full coverage is the same as most of the 17 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Karavan's published warranty, checked October 2026.

Good to know before you buy

- Tires are not covered by Karavan; claim through the tire maker.
- Rust is not covered, and rental or commercial use voids the warranty.
