Een goede prijs/ kwaliteitverhouding die vooral zichtbaar wordt in de kwalitatieve materialen die je mag gebruiken! Een absolute aanrader voor mensen die op zoek zijn naar net iets meer actie gedurende de vakantie!”

“Sehr unfreundliche Mitarbeiterin mit inkompetenter Beratung. Defekte Kanus (2xkaputtes Ruder, nicht verschliessbarer Gepäckraum - sei verloren gegangen- wir mussten darauf bestehen, das ein Ersatzteil organisiert wird- bei dem Wind und Wellengang hätte sich das mit Wasser füllen können - unverantwortlich! Angesprochen auf die kaputten Ruder,/Finne hiess es, das Ruder bräuchten wir sowieso nicht.
