LATE ARRIVALS: We ask everyone to arrive 10min before the scheduled time as a delayed start will impact all other participants. We will hold the experience for up to 10 minutes, after this point it may not be possible to take part in the experience OR your experience may be shortened which will also impact all other group members. Call us on 01223 665000 or 07507 718791 if you’re going to be late so we can advise all other participants. Bookings cannot be changed/rescheduled.
NO SHOWS: If you do not show up or you arrive later than 10 minutes after the event start time (with or without prior notice) we will consider you to be a ‘no show’ forfeit. We do not offer full or partial refunds in this situation.
BAD WEATHER: In the event of poor weather, we regularly check the forecast and will contact all participants at least 24 hours before the event date. Cambridge Rowing Ltd will assess the weather 12 hours prior to the event date and make a final decision. If you’re not keen to continue with your booking on a day that we are open, our standard cancellations or rescheduling policy applies.
YOUR BOOKING: Your experience is reserved under your name for the booked time and date. Tickets can be transferred to someone else at no extra charge, providing the participant meets our terms on age, height and weight restrictions. We would need to be notified at least 12 hours before the event and a waiver form must be completed if not already done so.

Cambridge Rowing Ltd reserves the right to use these images or recordings for promotional or marketing purposes unless otherwise specified by the participant. This request must be made prior to the event.

LIABILITY: We hold all required insurances for our business activities. Please note that to the extent permitted by law, our team shall not be liable for any claims, losses, damages or injuries, sustained or incurred during the experience including on the hard or in the boat.
COMPLAINTS: If you are unhappy with any aspect of our experience or service, please let a member of our team know at the time so that we have the opportunity to resolve the issue and turn your day around. Alternatively, please get in touch on 01223 665000 or by email at info@cambridgerowing.com.
WITHDRAWAL OF SERVICE: In the unlikely situation that we have to withdraw a service that you have booked (i.e. issues with boat/s, fast stream, bad weather etc.), we will contact you directly with alternative choices or offer you a full refund.
SAFETY: On the day, you must follow the directions of your instructor. Our team have been trained and will provide a safety briefing before you get in the boat. Our signature experience will be in the VII boat, the largest and safest boat in our fleet. The risk of a capsize is highly unlikely but not impossible. Providing all participants listen and follow the safety briefing carefully, this will significantly minimize any possibility of anyone falling in the river or getting injured. On request, lifejackets can be provided. When completing the online waiver form, there is a full risk assessment that all participants must read.
OPENING HOURS: We are open 7 days a week, from 4th January to 20th December subject to weather conditions. Our Personal experience days are typically held on the weekends between 10:00-13:00. Our private group sessions and corporate teambuilding days are largely Mon-Fri anytime between 09:00-18:00.
