Reply from Barqo

Dear Sjonnie,

Thanks for your review. How unfortunate that you have a bad experience with our services. We always assist the renter and owner in the case of damage. We act as an independent party and can only judge the facts provided. This is also what we did in your case. If one disagrees with the opinion of the (insurance) expert, it is indeed requested to mutually search for a solution. This also occurred in your case.

Kind regards,
Team Barqo

All cool.

All cool with Barqo and the renter. Except the stupid requirement of TrustPilot to write a lengthy comment.

Spontaneous Boat Day

We had a wonderful time on Marco's boat. It was extremely last minute and we were trying to find a boat to go on within the hour. Luckily, Marco responded very fast and made our boat day come true. The boat was very comfortable and we can't wait to do it again. :)
