This warranty applies to all Jackson Kayak products (kayaks, boats, coolers and kennels) and covers substantial defects in materials and workmanship in the hull and outfitting components sold new to original owner. Products sold as a ‘Select’ or ‘Blem’ are covered. This policy is subject to the exceptions listed below.

Please thoroughly inspect your shipment prior to signing off. Your product may be delivered by various carriers. Typically, these carriers are not Jackson Kayak employees nor related to Jackson Kayak. Therefore, Jackson Kayak cannot be responsible for freight damages once the shipment has been accepted and signed clear by the Dealer/Livery/Camp/School/Individual.

  • For kayaks/coolers/kennels being replaced under warranty, JK must receive evidence of decommissioning as the final step in the process. DO NOT dispose of your kayak/cooler/kennel until decommissioning has been confirmed by JK. For decommissioning, we ask that you drill a minimum of 10 ½ inch sized holes in the bottom, down the length of the hull/cooler/kennel and send us a picture to warranty@jacksonkayak.com.
