Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: April 16, 2026

Welcome to RowCroatia™ ("RowCroatia", "we", "us", or "our"). By booking a rowing camp, tour, or related travel experience (collectively, the "Tour") with RowCroatia, you ("Participant", "you", or "your") agree to be bound by the following Terms and Conditions (the "Terms"). Please read them carefully before making a booking.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any release of liability or medical forms provided to you, form the basis of your contract with RowCroatia.

1. The Booking Contract

Your booking is confirmed and a contract exists when RowCroatia issues a written confirmation after receipt of the applicable deposit amount. You must be at least 18 years of age to make a booking independently. If you are booking on behalf of other participants, you guarantee that you have the authority to accept these Terms on their behalf and are responsible for all payments due.

RowCroatia reserves the right to verify the stated rowing experience of all participants before confirming them on a Tour. We reserve the right to refuse any applicant whose experience level does not meet the safety or operational requirements of the specific Tour.

2. Pricing and Payment

All Tour prices are quoted per person, based on double occupancy, unless otherwise specified. Prices are subject to change, but the price of your Tour is guaranteed once your deposit has been received, except in cases of significant currency fluctuations or new government taxes.

2.1 Deposits

To secure your reservation, a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total Tour price is required at the time of booking.

2.2 Final Payment

The remaining balance of the Tour price is due no later than 90 days prior to the Tour departure date. For bookings made within 90 days of departure, full payment is required at the time of booking. If final payment is not received by the due date, RowCroatia reserves the right to treat the booking as cancelled and retain the deposit.

3. Cancellations and Refunds

If we cancel a Tour prior to departure for reasons other than Force Majeure, you will receive a full refund of all monies paid to us. We are not responsible for any incidental expenses or consequential losses incurred by you, such as non-refundable flights or equipment purchases.

Comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for all RowCroatia participants. Your insurance policy must include coverage for:

  • Emergency medical expenses
  • Medical evacuation and repatriation (minimum $200,000 USD coverage recommended)
  • Trip cancellation and interruption

You must provide proof of adequate travel insurance prior to the final payment deadline. Failure to provide proof of insurance may result in the cancellation of your booking without a refund.

5. Health, Fitness, and Medical Requirements

Rowing is a physically demanding activity. By booking a Tour, you certify that you are in good health and have the physical fitness required to participate in the scheduled rowing activities and excursions.

You must disclose any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or dietary requirements at the time of booking. RowCroatia may require you to complete a Medical Information Form signed by a physician. We reserve the right to deny participation to anyone whose physical or mental condition poses a risk to themselves or others.

6. Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability

Travel and rowing involve inherent risks, including but not limited to weather conditions, water hazards, equipment failure, and limited access to medical facilities. By participating in a RowCroatia Tour, you voluntarily assume all such risks.

Prior to participation, all guests are required to sign a comprehensive Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk agreement. RowCroatia, its founders (including the Sinković brothers), guides, coaches, and local partners shall not be held liable for personal injury, property damage, or death arising from your participation, except in cases of gross negligence.
