Regency warranty for boats & kayaks
The short version
Regency doesn't cover everything, but keeps structure and deck and factory-installed components covered for life. 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 Regency's published warranty, checked October 2026.

The fine print, decoded
What it leaves out
- Normal wear and tear
Good to know before you buy
- All claims go through a Regency dealer, and you pay to get the boat there and back.
- The engine has its own Mercury warranty.
- Coverage can move to a second owner once, for a $200 fee, if requested within 30 days of their purchase.
- Commercial or racing use voids the warranty.
