GROUPS FAQS​

Can my group show up without a reservation if we have 10 people or less?

Yes, on weekdays we can accomodate large groups without a reservation, although we always appreciate a heads up as volumes are busier. On weekends, if you have a party of less than 10, we recommend arriving early in the morning. We also accept reservations for parties larger than 10 on weekdays and weekends but they must be made days in advance. To book, visit our group reservations page.

If I book a group reservation, what is included?

There are several perks to booking a group reservation, including but not limited to guaranteed reservation and equipment, an expedited check-in process plus an attendant to check you in, shared use of our picnic area for those into snacks and things and 20% off merch.

How many people can you accommodate at Rowing Dock?

We can rent to groups as small as 10 and as large as 300. If you do have a large group, please inquire for our buy out rates and email manager@rowingdock.com.

How long can we use the picnic area and how many people do the tables hold?

You can use the picnic area for the duration of your outing. Depending on your group's size, our tables can fit up to 40 if you are the only group using the tables that day.

Can I reschedule my group reservation if something comes up?

To reschedule your outing at no additional charge, you must submit a written request to info@rowingdock.com at least 72 hours in advance.

What happens if people in my party are running late?

Group paddle schedules are strictly adhered to. Hosts must arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your event to meet with your dedicated attendant. Rowing Dock is not responsible for late arrivals or late starting times. Your paddle ending time will not be adjusted to accommodate late guests. Encourage your guests to arrive early.

What happens if the weather looks bad for my upcoming reservation or the experience is cancelled due to weather?

Texas weather is consistently dry and hot with very mild winter conditions. Rowing Dock considers the following conditions acceptable for paddling: Temperatures above 50 degrees, winds below 17mph, light rain, overcast skies, and high waters with a flow rate below 4000 CFS. All reservations are considered rain or shine and will proceed as scheduled in the event of mild weather. If Rowing Dock must cancel due to severe inclement weather, you will have the option to either reschedule your reservation at no additional cost or receive a full refund, minus a 15% administrative fee.

How long can we stay out on the water?

We book groups for 1 hour and 2 hour time slots.

Will I have a guide if I book a group reservation?

No, our group reservations do not have guides. See our "Guided Tours" page if you would like a dedicated guide.

Can we rent multiple types of boats for a group reservation?

Yes, you are able to rent stand up paddleboards, kayaks and canoes. If your group desires to travel together, we recommend renting a mix of kayaks/canoes or stand up paddleboards, as they all go at different speeds.

What is the payment/reservation policy for a group reservation?

A 20% deposit is required upfront. The remaining balance will be automatically charged to the card on file 72 hours before departure. Final headcount and any reschedule requests must be submitted at least 72 hours in advance.
