We have had a very nice day on Doordrammer. Before we started we got very good and clear instructions from Koos (the owner). We also got tips on nice routes to follow. We took the one to Joure. We can definitely advise other to take this rural route. Good to slow down! Great and pleasant service from Koos.

Diligent and personal service!

Barqo is a convenient, easy to use, and trustworthy source for boat rentals. Additionally, they go above and beyond in terms of customer service. I had an issue with a boat owner and Barqo made every effort to resolve on our behalves, going as far as to call us on the phone to understand both sides of the story. It was a very positive experience and I feel excited to continue to use the platform as we start a beautiful summer.
