The services offered by the COMPANY are available in all weather conditions.

The provision of services is subject to favourable weather conditions and the state of the water. Sailing is technically restricted by sustained or gusting winds exceeding 15 knots and wave heights exceeding 0.3 metres.

The number of participants specified at the time of booking is binding on the Customer. Under no circumstances may this number be exceeded.

The end of the service refers to the period beginning from the Customer’s last use of the sauna cabin and continuing until the end of the booking slot. During this period, and once the Customer has consumed alcohol, they are no longer permitted to access the sauna cabin. One unit of alcohol is defined as 10 grams of pure alcohol.

the service takes place at sea.
