Aqua Marina Warranty Information

Aqua Marina provided no information about a returns policy on their website.

We think Aqua Marina still provides a 12-month warranty (based on information available to us when performing earlier reviews) to cover manufacturer defects, but cannot find any current information on their website as of May 2020.  As Aqua Marina uses an “after sales/service and third-party company” for warranty processing, we recommend that you visit their site for warranty questions if you are considering a purchase. 

Frankly, we think there are better options to choose from currently for SUP companies that offer better warranty terms, clearer communication, and better customer service.
