We had a wonderful afternoon on the boat! Before we set off, we received clear and helpful instructions, which made everything easy to understand. We were also given a map with different routes, which... See more

Great experience

Barqo is a super convenient way to help customers find the most available boats. The owner of the boat in our experience was helpful and her reactions to our questions were indeed fast. We enjoyed the time we spent on the boat and can comfortably recommend it to anyone who is interested.

Was a great day, service was excellent. Check in was quick, captain was also very skilled and helpful with the drinks on board. Don’t look further.

Great nuptial tour

We took a tour in the canals of Amsterdam with family and friends. Setting up the details was easy through the chat.
The boat was spacious, clean, with a great cover that allowed everybody to experience the best comfort. The skipper was professional and took us for a great tour. Next time I'll need a boat for a group I'll use this service

Other boat than booked

For our team event we booked an half-open boat. Without communicating about this an open boat was provided. This was a pity, because some colleagues felt very cold, and if it was communicated they would have put on an extra scarf or something like that. Also blankets would have made a difference. The skipper was nice and telling some fun facts. Luckily we have had fun either way.

Very disappointing

For a birthday I have booked on the website a covered boat for 40 pax and I have heard 48h before that they had no covered boat. I have been proposed an alternative at a different time which arrived 50 min late...
