Transferability

This warranty is transferable to subsequent owners within the original warranty period. The period begins on the original retail purchase date and is not extended upon transfer.

Warranty Claims

To make a warranty claim:

Cease using the vessel or defective component immediately upon discovering a defect.
Notify an authorised Sea Raider dealer or Sea Raider directly in writing, providing proof of purchase and photographs where possible.
Deliver the vessel or component to the authorised dealer at your expense (unless otherwise required under ACL).
The dealer will assess the claim and coordinate with Sea Raider for repair or replacement.

Important: Continued use of a defective component may void the warranty if it causes further damage.

Our Commitment

Sea Raider maintains documented quality control, inspection, and after‑sales service procedures to ensure every vessel meets our manufacturing standards. All warranty repairs are carried out by qualified marine technicians using approved parts and methods.
