About Barko

We make boating simple, trusted, and unforgettable.

Barko connects boat owners with guests looking for extraordinary experiences on the water. From effortless listings to secure payments and verified partners, we're building the most reliable way to rent a boat—anywhere.

Our story

Renting a boat should be as easy as booking a stay.

Barko started with a simple idea: owners deserve a modern way to earn from their vessels, and guests deserve clarity, safety, and stellar support.

We designed Barko to handle the hard parts—verification, scheduling, payments, messaging—so owners and renters can focus on great days on the water. Whether it's a quick afternoon cruise or a multi-day itinerary, Barko keeps it smooth bow to stern.
