Sun Tracker warranty for boats & kayaks
The short version
Sun Tracker covers boats & kayaks in full for 10 years, then keeps pontoons, structure and decking covered for life. That full coverage is longer than most of the 17 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Sun Tracker's published warranty, checked October 2026.

The fine print, decoded
What it leaves out
- Accidental breaks and misuse
- Fading
- Normal wear and tear
Good to know before you buy
- Warranty work goes through an authorized Sun Tracker dealer; you pay to get the boat there and back.
- The engine has its own Mercury warranty.
- A second owner can take over coverage once, within 30 days of buying, for a $200 fee.
- Commercial use, racing or a business-registered boat voids the warranty.
