LeisureKing & Barqo
The ideal reservation system for your recreation company
LeisureKing and Barqo are both reservation systems, but they have completely different DNA. Barqo focuses purely on the boat niche, while LeisureKing is built to professionalize your entire day recreation business: from sloops to e-choppers and bowling alleys. The difference lies in scalability and cost structure. Why compromise on your revenue through commissions when you can work with a system that grows with you in a cost-efficient way? Below you will find a list of the actual differences. Not sure what suits your business? We are happy to help you decide!

For the entire width
LeisureKing looks beyond just the water: whether you rent out boats, SUPs, e-choppers, or bowling lanes, you can manage it all from a single dashboard. Do you only rent out a single boat? Then our system is not suitable for your situation. LeisureKing is the ideal solution as soon as you offer multiple boats or different activities.Freedom within reach
In addition to guests being able to book easily on your own website, you decide where else you want to be visible: LeisureKing links up with all kinds of parties, from large platforms such as GetYourGuide to local tourist offices. This means you are not dependent on a single sales channel, but spread your opportunities.No fixed monthly costs
With LeisureKing, you pay service fees per reservation. You decide whether the guest pays these fees when booking or whether you cover them yourself. This way, the costs of the system fluctuate with your bookings: the ideal solution for seasonal businesses.Personal contact
At LeisureKing, you are not a number, but a partner. Because we come from the recreation world ourselves, we understand what is going on in the workplace. That is why you will be assigned a permanent contact person who knows your company. Do you need help with the layout or would you like to discuss new opportunities? Then we will simply visit you to sit down together.
Focus on the fleet
Barqo was born on the water, and you can tell from everything about it: Barqo is fully geared towards water sports; the software uses terms and flows that boat rental companies are familiar with. The system is exclusively suitable for renting out boats. Its core function remains the online marketplace for finding renters for your boats.Barqo marketplace
Barqo's software relies heavily on their own platform: your listings are directly linked to the Barqo marketplace. This allows you to benefit from their marketing, but you are dependent on their website for bookings.Costs relative to your turnover
At Barqo, you pay 15% of your rental price: they charge a commission on every booking made through their platform. Because this is deducted directly from your turnover, you pay these costs yourself and cannot, as with LeisureKing, have the customer pay them as separate service costs.Remote digital platform
Barqo functions as an online marketplace and is designed for independence. The process of registering, listing boats, and managing them is completely digital via your own dashboard. Support focuses on the online use of the platform and is provided by phone, email, or chat.
Pay only for success: flexible pricing model
We do not charge a fixed monthly license fee, only service fees per ticket or booking. The choice is yours: do you pass this fee on to the visitor or do you cover it yourself? This means you have no ongoing costs when things are quiet, which fits in perfectly with the dynamics of seasonal work.
