Very good support from Barqo

Very good support from Barqo - boat was as per description no issues what so ever - rental service support also ok.
We also got a support on late check in as plane was delayed. All in all good quality for money - i would recommend and use myself next time.

Discover Haringvliet Zeeland by boat

Very nice boat and perfect to discover the beautiful area of Middelharnis. Everything went perfect, the boat was moored in a convenient place by the owner. Good explanation of how to operate the boat and little maps where to go. Wonderful experience in the Haringvliet Zeeland.

Just great. Only thing I miss is better contact to owners before payments are done. A call forwarder service would improve I believe.

We had a great few days in Friesland

We had a great few days in Friesland. Our boat owner was very helpful before, during and after the trip. The boat was exactly as in the description and pictures, so no surprises there. Everything worked fine and we are looking forward to planning the next trip.
