You probably purchased your boat for consumer use, including spending your weekends boating in the ocean or fishing on the lake. However, due to ongoing mechanical issues, your boat spends more time in dry land for repairs than it does on the water. However, California Lemon Law seeks to protect your rights as a consumer, including from such boat-related disappointments.

The California lemon law for boats applies to all types of watercraft bought for consumer use, including motorboats, fishing boats, jet skis, yachts, sailboats, cruisers, and speed boats. The Song Beverly Consumer Warranty Act entitles you to compensation, including a refund or a replacement for your lemon boat. However, your boat only qualifies as a lemon if:

  • The manufacturer cannot fix the defect even after a reasonable number of repair attempts.
  • The boat has been in the repair shop for at least thirty days
  • The subject defect affects the boat’s value, use, and safety
  • The defect or malfunction is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty
  • You did not directly cause the defect or malfunction
You may need the legal assistance of a skilled California lemon law attorney to protect your rights while navigating the often complex lemon claim process.
