Postponement and cancellation

Regardless of how they were purchased, tickets and deposits paid for reservations giving access to the park will not be refunded. Up to 5 days before the date of the reservation, dated tickets and reservations with a deposit can be postponed or exchanged for another activity, or for a voucher with a date of one year from the date of issue. The ticket must not have been used or can no longer be used by the purchaser, who must contact the Dock 79 by e-mail to express his or her request. After the contractual 5-day period, no ticket will be carried forward or exchanged. The only reasons for acceptance after this period are the following : illness or injury, proof of which is provided by a medical certificate ; death of a relative, proof of which is provided by a death certificate. Please note that our activities can be enjoyed in all weathers. Rainy weather cannot be accepted as a valid reason for cancelling a booking. Only conditions likely to have an impact on the safety of participants may lead to the suspension or cancellation of an activity. These conditions are constantly assessed by our team of professionals.

Any unused or partially used ticket will not be reimbursed or exchanged and will not be eligible for a credit note (except on presentation of a medical certificate or death certificate), regardless of the period of validity of the said entry/reservation.

Gift vouchers and promotional codes are valid for a fixed period, established at the time of issue. The period of validity of the voucher/code may not be extended under any circumstances. The activity covered by a voucher/code cannot be exchanged for another activity.

The Dock 79 offers its customers a cancellation insurance valid for one day. This insurance allows the holder to cancel the activity up to 24 hours before it takes place, at an additional cost of €5 per person, and to obtain a gift voucher (valid for 1 year) for the activity covered by this insurance (no refunds possible). Once the insurance has been taken out, it is non-refundable. When purchasing a multi-session card for one of our activities, the cancellation insurance cannot be taken out at the time of purchase of the card on our website, but only at the time of booking each session.

Equipment rental

Rental of equipment (wakeboard, wetsuit, racket, ball, etc.) is not compulsory. You can come and ride on the lake or play padel with your own equipment. During the summer, the water temperature is very pleasant, so it is not always necessary to rent a wetsuit (depending on your sensitivity). However, any equipment rented is non-refundable. For all equipment rental, a deposit will be required (identity card, mobile phone, car keys, etc.).

What happens in case of bad weather?
