Cancellation & Refund Policy

Politica di Cancellazione e Rimborso

Cancellations by Base1 Sardinia

Your safety is our priority. If we cancel or suspend the experience due to adverse weather, sea conditions, or any other circumstance beyond our control, you will receive a full refund or, if you prefer, the option to rebook on an available date. We will notify you as early as possible — typically the evening before or on the morning of the activity.

Cancellations by the Participant

We understand plans change. If you need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible:

  • More than 48 hours before the activity — full refund
  • Between 24 and 48 hours before — 50% refund
  • Less than 24 hours before — no refund

No-Shows

If you do not arrive at the meeting point at the scheduled time without prior notice, the full booking fee is forfeited.

Participation on the Day

Once you have boarded the boat and the activity has commenced, no refund will be issued regardless of the reason for not completing the experience. This includes choosing not to enter the water, exiting the water early, or being unable to participate due to a medical condition that was not declared at the time of booking.

We strongly encourage all participants to read the medical eligibility conditions carefully before booking.

Right to Refuse or Remove Participation

Base1 Sardinia reserves the right to refuse boarding or to remove any participant from the activity at any time, without refund, in the following circumstances:

  • The participant appears to be under the influence of alcohol or any substance that may impair their judgement, coordination, or safety in and around water
  • The participant displays aggressive, disruptive, or threatening behaviour toward guides, crew, or other participants
  • The participant fails to follow safety instructions given by the guide or crew
  • The participant presents a medical condition on the day that was not declared at the time of booking and that, in the guide's assessment, poses a risk to themselves or others
  • The participant is, in the reasonable judgement of the guide, otherwise unfit or unsafe to participate

In all such cases, the decision of the Base1 Sardinia guide or captain is final. No refund will be issued where participation is refused or curtailed for any of the above reasons.

Group Bookings

For groups of 6 or more participants, the following terms apply:

  • A non-refundable deposit of 30% is required at the time of booking to secure your date and slots. The remaining balance is due on the day of the activity.
  • Cancellations made more than 7 days before the activity date will receive a refund of the balance paid, minus the deposit.
  • Cancellations made within 7 days of the activity are non-refundable in full.

If an individual within the group can no longer make it, their slot can be transferred to another person. Just make sure the replacement participant completes and signs the liability waiver before getting on the boat, as we cannot allow anyone on the water without one.

If the group falls below the minimum number required to run the activity and we are unable to fill the remaining spots, Base1 Sardinia will offer a full rebooking or a complete refund of all amounts paid.

Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend that all participants hold travel insurance that covers adventure or water sports activities before booking. A good policy should ideally cover trip cancellation or interruption, medical expenses and emergency evacuation, and the cost of the activity in the event you are unable to participate due to illness or injury.

Our refund policy applies regardless of personal circumstances — we are unable to make exceptions for illness, travel disruption, or changes in personal plans. If you are unsure whether your existing policy covers this type of activity, check with your insurer before booking.

How to Cancel

To cancel or reschedule, please contact us directly via email or WhatsApp. Refunds are processed within 5–7 business days to the original payment method.
